Sure, he's incredibly annoying now, but how funny was Ricky Gervais in his prime? We return to our old mandate of interrogating things we liked when we were teenagers by revisiting his acclaimed sitcom EXTRAS and its Christmas Special. PLUS: Did you know that Will wrote a book?

How could you mention celebrity cameos so extensively without talking about Chris Martin's appearance on When the Whistle Blows?

Great episode. If people are interested in the themes touched on in this they should check out the series The Trip staring Steve Coogan. The first season in particular does a great job of exploring issues of celebrity, fame and class within British culture. Think it’s aged better than Extras as well which is good as Coogan has far superior politics to Gervais!
