Well, i watched it and the first 15mins weren't all that but you got a feel of the character after that. The way he influences the main female lead and gets her to drop herself in it in front of others while trying to keep his own reputation intact was quite amusing.
I liked it better than the office but then again, i thought the office wasnt all that good. best series on BBC2 got scrapped after one series. Outlaws. then after this Extras, comes the start of a second series of what is probably the worst "comedy" series ive ever seen on BBC2, the Catherine Tate show. Its barely ITV quality at best. Makes me sick.
Good thing I'm not wasting my licence fee money on it
