I enjoyed it. It was emotional.

Great points. It is indeed not a laugh a minute show, but idiots say that about the office, YET, a lot of people who like Extras seem to hate the Office. That's so hard to get round my head, it is slowly disintegrating over a period of 2 months.

Wonderful message, I hope it has some real life effects. It won't of course, apart from maybe Chico not going on celebrity big brother or something...

I just can't believe someone on TV finally stood up and said fuck you to Big Brother (and X Factor), I really felt uneblievably emotional during that bit. I didn't expect it to be so direct! The problem is, a lot of people will just see it as a fictional program and won't take anything away from it, and Big Brother will carry on ruining the world. Hopefully some people will realise that Gervais was being real and unbelievable. I really couldn't believe it!

The bit that got me...

"Well I'll answer it for you now... I'd be the penguin."

When he said that and Maggie was crying I started weeping uncontrollably. God...

I know, bloody hell. When I got home last night it was on again with sign language, and I watched the last 45 mins or so again, and because I was on my own it made me nearly cry a lot more. My eyes were definitely very moist indeed.

It was on when I got back from a piss up, but I just fell hazily fell asleep drunkenly. I shoulda watched it again..

It's repeated tomorrow night as well on BBC2 at 9pm.

Good good. I can finally see what the fuss is about.

You're probably shit.

and carlsberg is probably the best lager in the world

The Office Xmas was better. More amusing, more emotional and more appropriately emotional.

By that I mean that everything in The Office worked out for the best, it set itself up better and concluded better. All the way through the extras special I was just thinking 'what a miserable cunt'. Andy Millman was not an enjoyable character this time round until the last 5-10 minutes (his speech onwards). The speech had me fighting back tears, I'll admit. Also, the Merchant/Williamson combo was/is brilliant. All of their bits were very entertaining.

Also, in that speech, Gervais didn't say anything we didn't already think/feel/know. It was just great to see it put into a popular comedy setting.

Emo fags!

If you want to see a real tear jerker watch blade 2 made me cry!
