Living With Madeley

The Office v Extras
Are you ready to referee the ultimate sitcom showdown between "The Office" and "Extras"? We've got the play-by-play as these two comedic juggernauts, both brainchildren of Stephen Merchant and Ricky Gervais, go head to head in our Sitcom World Cup quarterfinal. Witness the clash of cringe and nuance as we dissect "The Office's" unforgettable 'The Merger' episode as we catch the subtleties of character development, from Tim's career choices to David Brent's desperate quest for acceptance.
We also raise a toast to Les Dennis and his raw depiction of an actor's life in "Extras." His willingness to bear his soul in a vulnerable, down-on-his-luck portrayal brings a unique authenticity that's both heartbreaking and side-splitting. As we review Les's standout moments and the drama behind his Panto show, we can't help but marvel at the blend of real-life parallels and fictional hilarity. Join us for this comedic deep dive and cast your vote – will it be "The Office" or "Extras" progressing to the semi final of our Sitcom World Cup?
