Tagline: "Mark Bellison will discover the truth about lying." Translation: It's like Liar Liar , only in reverse. The Verdict: When it comes to Ricky Gervais, we don't think we're playing the hyperbole card when we label him a comic genius. After all, Gervais proved his talents as both a creative force and an actor in The Office and Extras , two programs destined to go down as some of the...

Cemetery Junction follows the story of [...]...
Ricky Gervais had his differences with middle-management in The Office and with his fellow stars in Extras -- but in his latest battle he will be taking on men dressed in "suits of light", with Pamela Anderson at his side.
While Brit comic Ricky Gervais continues his slow burn of squirm with "The Office" (the UK version ended, but the US version keeps on going) and HBO's "Extras" (seems like everyone skipped GHOST TOWN), he's also keeping himself busy directing the comedy CEMETERY JUNCTION, about a trio of small-town blue-collar working friends in the 70s. It's Gervais' second feature behind the...

Filed under: The Office , Celebrities , Reality-Free , British TV Ricky Gervais of The Office and Extras fame is going to design a man purse -- but it's for a good cause.

Ricky Gervais is the talent (well, half of) behind one of the most influential TV shows of the last decade, The Office. His follow-up, Extras, was less innovative and touching, but still excellent. So what is Gervais’s next project? This September will see the release of The Invention of Lying, a comedy about a world [...]
Extra Extras Footage Found In The Office, retrospective due in the near future. The BBC are set to honour creative team Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant with retrospective documentaries looking at Extras and The Office.

Sunday. Busy. Reading the Sunday paper before starting work and there’s a short moment of sadness that enters from out of the blue. Can’t place it. It’s just there. As I sit and think about it I can only describe it as the kind of feeling that I got watching Ricky Gervais‘ Extras television series, where each [...]
HBO has signed Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant up for a new show. But unlike "The Office" and "Extras," this new show won't star Gervais or Merchant. In live-action, anyways, since it's going to be a 13-episode animated version of...

Ricky Gervais enlisted Robert De Nero for Extras , while Never Mind the Buzzcocks has some tit from N-Dubz every single week. Here’s the top Shite Mark of Quality celebrities to avoid at all costs… Paul Ross Paul “Yes” Ross doesn’t need an...
One of my all time favorite scenes from Ricky Gervais’ Extras is his desperate character’s conversation with Patrick Stewart (playing himself), a scene which has now been mashed up with Bambi into this brilliant video.
Listen, no one is going to deny that the Internet is a magical place, filled with all sorts of bizarre ephemera designed solely to make people giddy with delight. With that in mind, if you're the sort of person who has always wished that someone would mash up Bambi and Extras , well then, today is your lucky day. Why even bother asking why? Just click away!

I don’t understand why anyone does anything. Below the cut, Ian McKellen’s famous Extras appearance, again synced with footage from Bambi 2 but, strangely, done by a different person who also shares an interest in combining the straight-to-video Disney sequel with the Ricky Gervais TV comedy.
Ghost Town is diverting enough, but it's also the kind of high-concept studio concoction Ricky Gervais might have ridiculed in his great backstage-showbiz sitcom Extras. Click here to Watch Ghost Town Movie Review
