@manhattantv.uk: One of the funniest bits of foresight in British comedy. In Extras, written by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, Kate Winslet appears as herself and jokes that she’s only taking the Holocaust film role because films about the Holocaust win Oscars. The irony? Just a few years later, she actually won the Academy Award for Best Actress for The Reader, playing a former SS concentration camp guard. A joke made in 2005 that ended up being scarily close to reality 😂 #extras #stephenmerchant #rickygervais #katewinslet #britishcomedy

Extras was one of the funniest things on the telly. Brilliantly written and performed. 🤣🤣

CallmeBubs699 :

Extras is by far my favourite Ricky Gervais project and in my opinion his best, I know the office is iconic and went on to inspire the American version but there’s genuinely not a bad episode of extras

Ash :

I actually rate & extras higher than the office, just laughed sooo much more
