Extras, Series 1

Hinweis: Sie sehen die englischsprachige Originalversion dieser TV-Sendung. Die deutsche Fassung finden Sie unter „Zugehörig“. Bitter, grumpy, sarcastic actor Andy Millman gave up his day job five years ago in the hope of achieving fame and fortune. So far he’s yet to land a speaking part, let alone saunter down the red carpet to pick up a BAFTA. He remains optimistic however, as rubbing shoulders with the A-list on-set only serves to reinforce his belief that the big time is just a job or two away. If only his agent wasn’t so stupendously useless. Andy and best friend Maggie, also a bit-part actor of little repute, can usually be found in the green room swigging coffee, bitching about their peers or whinging about their lot in life. Either that or Andy is ingratiating himself with the latest producer in the hope of getting a line to deliver, while hopeless romantic Maggie falls head over heels in love, again. From Kate Winslet’s Nazi-battling nun to Ben Stiller’s narcissistic film director, the impressive array of guest stars are forced into mercilessly self-mocking pastiches of their public personas
