A new series starting this Thursday on BBC2, might be worth a look.

Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's follow-up to Extras, a spoof documentary following the showbiz life of actor Warwick Davis. With his career on the slide, a massive tax bill and a wife who is divorcing him, the star of Willow has no choice but to open his doors to a film crew 24 hours a day in the hope the exposure will get him back to the top of the showbiz ladder. He begins by seeking advice from old pals Gervais and Merchant - only to discover Liam Neeson has beaten him to it.

I'm glad this is a humorous show and not an obituary as I initially thought.

Although I assumed it was a typo, I actually went looking to see if he was called Davies in the show.

I don't recommend watching the 'Making of', it is more of a 'here's what's going to happen'...

Just watched it.

Thought it was pretty funny, especially liked Liam Neeson's attempt at improvisational comedy.

I thought it was bit meh

Same old Ricky Gervais awkward silence stuff, which has been done to death if you've watched The Office (UK) or Extras before.

Liam Neeson was very funny to be fair, and Warwick seems to pull it off quite well.

I'll probably keep watching.

I thought it was a weird cross between The Office and Extras.

Warwick played his 'character' alot like David Brent, with many of the same facial expressions and a similar line delivery.

The funniest part was undoubtedly the Neeson scene, which could have been taken from any episode of Extras.
