Extras Christmas Special

Såg tidigare i kväll Extras Christmas Special, Ricky Gervais och Stephan Merchant upprepar det de gjorde med The Office dock utan den briljans som The Office Christmas Special gav oss för fyra år sedan. Personligen gillade jag Extras säsong 1då Andy Millmans vardag som en "extra" framhävde Gervais komiska talang på ett ypperligt vis. Säsong 2 var en gigantisk besvikelse, kärnan i serien försvann när Millman blev C-kändis. Dessutom lärde vi oss att Merchant dessvärre är väldigt begränsad som skådespelare och att det inte kändes vare sig kul eller trovärdigt när de försökte framställa Maggie (Ashley Jensen) som förståndshandikappad.

Julspecialen av Extras hittar under korta stunder den ton som fanns i första säsongen men dessa stunder är dessvärre ganska få. Det är förvisso betydligt bättre än säsong 2 men det känns mer än en gång under avsnittets 90 minuter frestande att dra paralleller med serien Extras utveckling och Ricky Gervais egen. Han har visserligen betonat att anledningen till att precis som med the Office bara blev två säsonger av the Extras berodde på att det inte fanns mer att berätta och att risken att det skulle bli allt för dåligt var väldigt stor. En självinsikt fler borde och jag högaktar verkligen Gervais för denna hållning. Men trots hans enorma popularitet, kan jag inte släppa tanken på att både Millman och Gervais för att räkna med att leva i skuggan av en viss mellanchef från Slough.

Vill dock poängtera att det står sig bra som tv-underhållning en kall december kväll år 2007 speciellt för oss svenskar vars public service bolag verkar lägga pengar på skräp som en spricka i kristallen, vars andra avsnitt var bland det sämsta jag sett i år.

Julspecialen beskrivs ganska bra i
