'Extras' now on HBO [US]

Brace yourself for more wince-inducing TV this week — and we’re not even talking “American Idol.” No, it’s the hilarious cringe-fest “Extras,” and yes, we’re having a laugh.

 

Poor Andy Millman (Ricky Gervais) just can’t catch a break. On his sitcom, he’s stuck in a horrible black wig and red glasses, forever mandated to repeat a catchphrase he’s beginning to loathe (see above). And last week he was humiliated (brilliantly) by David Bowie. “Chubby little loser.Pathetic little fan man,” Bowie crooned. Which just about sums up how Andy’s feeling again tonight (10 p.m., HBO) when, while dining with Maggie (Ashley Jensen; yes, the seamstress on “Ugly Betty”), he picks the wrong restaurant patron to shush. The cameos in this show always hit their mark, and tonight Daniel Radcliffe (”Harry Potter”) has a cocky turn. Dame Diana Rigg imparts a grammar lesson.

 

Look for Chris Martin shilling a Coldplay LP next week.
