- TriviaIn the Kate Winslet episode, she states the reason she's doing a movie about the Holocaust is because she'd been nominated for four Academy Awards and hadn't yet won, but doing a movie of this nature would guarantee her an Oscar. Four years later, after five nominations in total, she finally won the Oscar for Best Leading Actress, for her Holocaust based drama The Reader (2008).

- ConnectionsFeatured in Screenwipe: Episode #2.1 (2006)
Extras is such a fantastic show in every aspect, and the transaction between comedy and drama is purely class, the way you'll find the celebrity-parts (oh, it's just Patrick Stewart, Kate Winslet, Samuel L. Jackson, Ian McKellen, Orlando Bloom, David Bowie and Robert De Niro to mention some) egoism and embarrassing self-awareness adds realism to it, and it's sort of every fan's nightmare to see their favorite actor/actress act themselves into embarrassing situations. 'Extras' is something very few artists can pull off, it's a follow-up that adds depth to something already brilliant by not only making the funny bits even more subtle and the gags even more layered, but adding emotional resonance with outstanding pace. 'Extras' can't really be compared with the Office, it's worth more in its own right and it's downright one of the most incredible shows of all time.
