Extras - S1 E4 - Les Dennis

One of my favourite episodes of the season, Les Dennis' character in this isn't too far from the truth of where he and his career were actually at and like how they say in this episode by making a joke out of it it actually helped his career. He's been in comedy for a very long time and worked with some of the all time greats like Tommy cooper but yeah He's mostly just know for family fortunes!

Or Family Feud as an American would say.

James Aston

This whole episode is basically making fun of how Les Dennis got depressed on Celebrity Big Brother way back in 2002. He had just split up with his wife (Amanda Holden, who was much younger than him and about 10x hotter) before going on the show. Just like in this episode, he got really depressed about it while in the BB house.

Glad you're enjoying it Mandy, despite not necessarily knowing who the featured celebrity is. By the way, there is a Christmas special of this show, an hour or longer in length, it's excellent, and has a tiny cameo from someone special. I wonder if you will spot them when you get round to it. 😊

Notice how the agent (played by Stephen Merchant) has another client called Shaun Williamson (played by Shaun Williamson). He didn't appear in this episode but it's who the agent suggested should play the Genie when Les Dennis and Bunny weren't keen on Andy Millman taking the role. What's interesting is that the agent calls him Barry. This is because Shaun Williamson's most famous role was as a character called Barry in the television soap opera EastEnders. At this time, he was probably better known to the British public as Barry from EastEnders rather than his real name of Shaun Williamson. He would even be introduced as Barry from EastEnders when appearing on other programmes. The agent, being useless, also sees him only as Barry and so doesn't use his real name. I'm sure you will agree, this is all very interesting information. It is particularly interesting because you called the character Andy Millman (played by Ricky Gervais), "Ricky". You did the opposite to what the agent does. Can you remember the name of the sitcom that Andy Millman (played by Ricky Gervais) wrote and gave to his agent (played by Stephen Merchant)? Here's a clue, "When the W Blows". Can you remember what the 'W' stands for?

I forgot Les was on this, he was part of my childhood. I'm glad you're enjoying it.

33:20 😂 I remember when you started reacting to Peep Show and some others, the whole cringe factor was a thing. At 33:20 in this reaction, the look of glee in your face at a cringe moment says to me that you're now accustomed to it 😂 Also the shock when you first discovered Bunny was the girl's dad was excellent haha. Great stuff 😁

Steve with a beard

Ooooh! And also I liked you catching the "my sister..." excuse being re-hashed from the first episode. It's those little things that are often the nuggets of comedy gold isn't it haha.

I loved this episode, Les Dennis had some balls doing it as his career was over so a lot of it was close to the bone in this one, I grew up with Les on Family Fortunes so will always have a soft spot for him.

davmeltz

How long did it help his career? Because in the show the joke is he’s known for one impression, Family Fortunes and Celebrity Big Brother - like 15 years later I feel like I can only add this episode to that list.

Danny

Sooo looking forward to the next episode 😁

Jeffrey44

He was in popular soap opera Coronation Street for a while and was in not so popular Ricky Gervais sitcom Life's Too Short.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I don't mind at all and would be more than happy to explain anything you are struggling to parse or understand.

2026-09-23 20:00 This episode has so much awkward and cringe. So good. I have been binge-watching the Les Dennis era of Family Fortunes of the last week (all on YouTube). And there have been some strange answers :) "Name something that flies but doesn't have an engine", was answered with "A bike with wings". And this after them having quite a lot of time to think. Another question "What does a dog do that you wish you could do yourself?" - Well, talk about a leading question. But one of the women in the family... she said it - and I'm sure it needs no explanation :) If they gave a bad answer, that's when Les would say "If it's up there I'll give you the money myself" (and on occasion it WAS up there) :) So cool that you're doing these.

Good for him that his career was able to pick up! 🙌🏻🤗

Mandy Cane Lane

Ohhh! Google did not provide that information! 🤗 Lol. Good for him to be able to make fun of it here! Also, I have no idea how old you are James, but it just pained me to read "way back in 2002". 2002 was only a few years ago, right? 🥺

Mandy Cane Lane

Thank you Tony! And OMG OMG OMG! Is it Karl?? Or Bob?? This show is hilarious enough I don't even need context. Lol

Mandy Cane Lane

All very interesting indeed, thank you very much Mr 44! 🤗🤗 And.... ummm.... was it 'whistle'? 👀

Mandy Cane Lane

Haha, I am evolving! Someone also pointed out to me that I am less bothered by some 'rude' jokes now. I am growing up! 😃

Tony Mingoia

Not telling who it is. You'll just have to find out. 🤫

Mandy Cane Lane

I have been told some of the background! Good for him to be able to make fun of himself like this! 🙌🏻🤗

Mandy Cane Lane

OMG bike with wongs is brilliant!! Haha! Did he ever give money himself? 🤪

James Aston

I'm 36 mate, and honestly it feels like yesterday. I want to go back, do you want to come with me?

Jeffrey44

Correct, When the W Blows. W = Whistle.

TheHigh

👍👍🖤

Woody Barrelson

Ahh desensitisation, the hallmark of modern society. Tool wrote a good song about that. It's called Stinkfist. Can you guess what that's all about?

Lee Dellbridge

Les Dennis was famously married to Amanda Holden when he was 42 and she was 24. They divorced after 8 years and this was filmed not long after that.

Mandy Cane Lane

Props to him for being able to make fun of himself so much!

Mandy Cane Lane

Haha, I am luckily always very conscious of the language I am speaking and to whom I am speaking. 🤪

Josh

I used to share a house with the cousin of tits and teeth girl.

Josh

It was quite the comment to write. Well I've finally got around to joining your patreon. Been.loving the extras reactions 🤣

Mandy Cane Lane

Haha! I really appreciate it Josh! 🫶🏻 Hope you enjoy your stay here! 🌈🤗 And I believe this is much better than Youtube memberships. Patreon allows me so much more to offer 🙌🏻

Josh

You are very welcome. I know, when I joined and saw all the exclusive reactions on here I thought wow I've been missing out. Extras then taskmaster will be awesome to watch. Hope you've been doing well. Stay happy 😊

Josh

Random question of the day: so I've just finished watching strictly come dancing and it got me thinking, if you moved back to the states or came to England and seems as you're a celebrity would you do strictly or dancing with the stars?

Mandy Cane Lane

I am not a celebrity, I have never seen those shows and I don't dance when people can see me 😅🤣

Josh

Well you are a celebrity duh, what would it take to get you to do it tho, do you at least know the concept?

Tom

Mandy holding the cat while the song Magic started playing was adorable. Thank you universe for that lucky coincidence.

no option on these dailymotions to watch in full screen, just tiny, not far away.

I dunno most kids get brought up without their dad now anyways, every single couple I know ever, got divorced. My best mate's wife cheated on him, she took the kids and moved her new boyfriend into their house.... He had to move into with his parents because legally they always side with the mother and he committed suicide. I'd rather be the kid growing up with Al Pacino's wealth. Just the way of the world though, women are attracted to different things than men and men like youth, beauty and fertility.... They do not care about what a woman does or earns.
