Ricky Gervais
Sorted by | reset
The invention of lying takes place in an alternate reality in which lying-even the concept of a lie-does not exist.

But when a down-on-his-luck loser named Mark (Ricky Gervais) suddenly develops the ability to lie, he finds that dishonesty has its rewards. In a world where every word is assumed to be the absolute truth, Mark easily lies his way to fame and fortune. But lies have a way of spreading, and Mark begins to realize that things are getting a little out of control when some of his tallest tales are being taken as, well, gospel....

The special Christmas finale of Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's hit TV show Extras. Andy Millman wrestles with fame while best friend Maggie struggles to survive as an extra. How far will they debase themselves just for 15 minutes of fame?
Andy Millman is back, now as the successful writer/star of the hit BBC show "When The Whistle Blows". Success, however, is not all it's cracked up to be. With his show changed from an edgy comedy into a catchphrase-based low-budget sitcom, Andy finally has his audience but has he sacrificed his integrity and self-respect? Guest stars include: Orlando Bloom, David Bowie, Daniel Radcliffe, Chris Martin, Sir Ian McKellen and Robert DeNiro.
The second series of the award-winning Extras is an edgy, uncomfortable, daring and funny as no other comedy.
Andy Millman is an actor but his agent cannot get him an acting job. Instead he is just an extra in films, a different film a different location, ever hopeful that one day he will actually get some lines. Guest stars include: Ben Stiller, Kate Winslett, Samuel L. Jackson, Ross Kemp, Les Dennis and Patrick Stewart.

The fantastically funny Christmas special episodes from the BAFTA award winning comedy. These specials deliver a fitting send-off to one of the best comedy series in recent times. Three years after the camera stopped rolling, the BBC returns to Wernham Hogg to catch up with staff, past and present. They find Gareth ruling the office with military precision and Tim close to despair with a new annoying work companion. Meanwhile, Brent himself has blown his redundancy settlement on a failed pop career, and is now making a living selling cleaning products and making Z-list appearances at nightclubs.
The return of the multi-award winning, fly-on-the-wall style comedy set in the Slough branch of Wernham-Hogg paper merchants. Change can be stressful, but manager David Brent reckons he can cope. He's got a new boss, he's been recruited to give motivational lectures and has to integrate the serious and dull Swindon lot with his own crazy brigade. Elsewhere, Tim's got a new office romance and Red Nose Day gives the whole office a chance to unwind - Finchy's still a riot, Keith still has eczema and Gareth has a talking cookie jar - and is still a tosser.
BAFTA winning comedy about the Slough paper-merchant where life is stationery… David Brent (Ricky Gervais) is a petty, pompous boss who thinks he’s the funniest, most popular man in the world.
He is wrong.
Tim (Martin Freeman) really is popular and funny but the joke is on him, as he’s stuck in the middle of this little world – a world in which he hates everything except the receptionist Dawn. Will Tim escape? Will Dawn choose the right man? And will David Brent ever regret letting a film crew into The Office..
