As the only person in the Universe who thinks both:
a) The Office was not funny and b) Extras was better
I came to this after several negative reviews not expecting much but I had heard Ricky Gervais on Danny Baker and he was:
a) a really nice guy and b) very proud of the series
So eventually I got round to watching it on the iPlayer.
Basically, as everyone seems to be saying, it's similar to, OK the same as, his other work. This is not always a bad thing. When it hits it's spot on, and very very funny, but, because it's the comedy of embarrassment, when it misses it is just embarrassing.
Still, it's well worth the occasional discomfort for the laugh out loud moments.
