That promo gag Ricky put together for the awards show was brillig.

Obviously the origin of the idea for one of the best scenes from Extras series 2!

So many ideas for extras have come from these XFM shows, the pen obviously, Steve's agent, the pub scene, the tramp and lots more I cant remember. Quite interesting really.

"no-one likes to pick on an invalid". Brilliant!

I love the tense silence at the end!
