Ricky Gervais – Extras Finale

March 27, 2008

I watched Ricky Gervais‘ Extras – The Extra Special Series Finale on DVD last night. The series on the whole was a bit spotty and the series finale pretty much followed suit. It felt a bit long in some parts which could have benefited with some editing to make things a bit tighter. but the girdle-popping scene along with Andy Millman‘s heartfelt confession at the end are a must-see for Ricky Gervais fans. it was interesting that Gervais chose to use Kate Bush‘s This Woman’s Work to emphasize the sad scene with Maggie. I personally felt it was a bit lame since This Woman’s Work has been used a number of times before in other films and TV shows. it was a bit distracting especially since they didn’t feature songs like this in previous episodes in the series. a bit out of character, I’d say. another negative about the release is the lack of any bonus features. the DVDs for seasons 1 and 2 both had some neat bonus videos especially the footage of Gervais not being able to keep a straight face in pretty much any scene that he’s in. at times, the bloopers are even funnier to watch than some of the actual episodes.

Pray God you can cope.
I stand outside this woman’s work, this woman’s world.
Ooh, it’s hard on the man,
Now his part is over, now starts the craft of the father.

I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I should be crying, but I just can’t let it show.
I should be hoping, but I can’t stop thinking

Of all the things I should’ve said, that I never said.
All the things we should’ve done, that we never did.
All the things I should’ve given, but I didn’t.
Oh, darling, make it go, make it go away.

Give me these moments back, give them back to me.
Give me that little kiss. Give me your hand.

I should be crying, but I just can’t let it show.
I should be hoping, but I can’t stop thinking
Of all the things we should’ve said, that were never said.
All the things we should’ve done, that we never did.
All the things that you needed from me.
All the things that you wanted for me.
All the things that I should’ve given, but I didn’t.

Oh, darling, make it go away.
Just make it go away now…
