From the Guardian:
"If you missed Extras (BBC2), try to catch the repeat on Sunday. Andy Millman, star of the world's worst sitcom, confided to David Bowie that he feared he had sold his artistic soul for a mess of potage. Bowie listened sympathetically then began improvising his next hit in a clear, carrying tenor.
Chubby little loser. No.
Pathetic little fat man.
The clown that no one laughs at.
No one's bloody laughing.
They all just wish he'd die.
Fatso takes his own life.
He blows his bloody face off. No.
He blows his stupid brains out.
Everyone joined in enthusiastically. Andy's agent and Barry (from EastEnders) swelled the chorus. Ricky Gervais sat there, impassively, like a buddha in black leather. You feel that if Buddha had been twitted about his weight and his total failure to convulse China, he would have borne it very much like that. Afterwards I found my face was stiff with salt."
