    Extras is one of my favorite shows of all time. It and Arrested Development are tied for first IMO.

    Dude no way.

    You fail sir. I can't even understand what they are saying most of the time. Ricky Gervais has even said he thinks the US version is better

    I don't see how it's even fair to compare anymore. Hasn't the US version run a lot longer with many more different story lines?

    Has anyone found a torrent of the full episode yet?

    I've also tried getting BBC iPlayer to work, but haven't had any luck on my Mac. Here's a link with instructions.

    So, what's the deal with the David Cross / Will Arnett show? Will it be airing here?

    Despite the fact that it might have helped save the American broadcast sitcom, I liked it until it turned into Scranton Friends. That unresolved issue was one of the appealing plot points of the original show: which was much more about the constraints of protocol and responsibility than about the apparent zany, wacky oppressiveness of salaried office jobs. I heard they parodied a YouTube clip on that wedding episode; that's pretty much my cue to tune out. I can't even watch the thing in syndication.

    Like an idiot, I'm downloaded a link that I have no idea what it is by it's description. I'm hoping it's the Cross show and not dudes having sex with goats.

    It's the actual episode.

    I made sure it was legit before posting a link here.

    The US version is on going and Gervais is making money off it.

    It's a Channel 4 program.

    The Thick of It is AMAZING. Last Saturday's episode left me open-mouthed at the end.
