Re: the office (uk) vs. extras

Steven Merchant doesn't get near enough credit for his work with Ricky Gervais.

I've been listening to their XFM radio shows from 1999, and then from 2002 - 2004 (am now working thru the "podcasts" while running and Merchant is at least as funny as Gervais.

I'm really looking forward to Life is Too Short.

Re: the office (uk) vs. extras

I have to go with Extras by a mile. The UK version of the Office is pretty boring. Brent is the worst part. He just isn't funny and he mumbles like a retard 90% of the time. Dawn is also pretty shitty. Tim and Gareth are the only things keeping the show from being downright terrible.

/\ I think it speaks to the quality of both shows. Me, I had a hard time picking as I couldn't fault either one.

Re: the office (uk) vs. extras

Extras, mainly because of the Christmas Special. This scene is possibly the greatest thing ever shown on TV:
