Episode 4 of Extras last night, and after a slow start the series is getting better and better. Having Chris Martin perform a Coldplay song in the middle of an episode of When the Whistle Blows is strangely reminiscent of when bands like Motorhead and Madness used to perform in the living room in episodes of The Young Ones. The show-stealing performance this week, though, was Ronnie Corbett's. I won't give away what happens in case you haven't seen it, but it isn't what you might expect from Ronnie; and that's why it's brilliant.
Now if only I can persuade a relative to buy me the DVD of Sorry...

You're damn right.
Corbett was an absolute classic, the final brief cameo from Moira Stuart was a nice touch, and Barry from Eastenders was, as ever, comedy genius.
Loving it.
Not to mention Richard Briers stamping on the "Ray Doll" and exclaiming, "tacky s***"! Now, when are the BBC going to repeat the 1993 classic If You See God Tell Him? Also, is the Ray doll going to be launched commercially? And will the DVD of Series 2 feature a full episode of When The Whistle Blows as a bonus? So many questions.
