Ricky Gervais, the comedic genius behind 'The Office', has another BBC show out and it's coming to HBO this Sunday (Sept. 25th). It's a show about extras (the background people in movies and TV shows) and you can see a few clips from season one on the Ricky Gervais website and the official Extras HBO site here.
My guess is that Austrailia pissed off the BBC. Nice going Austrailians.
