The new series of Extras cometh soon. Here's a list of who may be appearing:

David Bowie, Orlando Bloom, Chris Martin, Ian McKellen and Daniel Radcliffe, Jonathan Ross, Richard and Judy, Moira Stewart... and the entire cast of Holby City.

Some outrageous scenes have already been filmed.

In one, Sir Ian tells Ricky's character Andy to snog him - before calling out for Vaseline.

David Bowie sings during his appearance, but Andy misses out, despite bribing his way into the VIP area of a private club to watch. He gets kicked out immediately.

And an amorous Orlando Bloom gets rejected by Extras' regular Maggie, played by Ashley Jensen.

An insider said: "Orlando demands she kiss him - but she refuses and he's incensed. It's brilliant - Orlando totally sends himself up."

Apparently, even Madonna asked for a part, but had to pull out due to her world tour.

1st Episode of the second series - Orlano Bloom/ Keith Chegwin

Very funny 1st episode - Orlando taking the mick out himself and persona. Keith Chegwin turned up for a cringeworthy couple of scenes in Ricky Gervias' character's new sitcom.

Steven Merchant (Ricky's writing partner) having more screen time I feel wasn't that effective neither was 'Barry' from Eastenders as a desperate actor.

8/10

Here's to number 2!!

Orlando Bloom was brilliant I thought. I wet myself when he was talking about shooting a kiss scene for pirates of the caribbean, saying how Kiera Knightley wanted to do it again.

"So I tease her and I say, if you wanna kiss somebody kiss johnny depp",
"And she says '**** off, I'm gonna vomit if you don't shut up'".

Willy Wonka? Johnny Wanka!

In tonight's episode Bowie refers to Andy (Gervais) as "a little fat bloke who sold his soul".

And his agent and Barry off EastEnders go on the pull.

And there's a classic scene involving a tramp.

Genius!!

How funny was tonight's episode? :lol:
That

must be the best one of this series. I was crying over the bit with the pen!!
Not sure whether I want him to continue, The Office remains classic as he

stuck to two series.
Any views??

Yes, very funny tonite, highlight for me has

to be the When The Whistle Blows (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FO0lUFeC9JU) comedy sketches, the midget fight and the

Bowie Singing In Extras (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQN8kG76xv0) tune.

Could do with a one off, to see how maggy and andy get on.

Some

moments of real cringeworthyness in this series and a bit short on laughs.
