Best and worst supporting/guest characters in Extras

Best -

Damon - hilariously camp
Shaun/Barry - He had his moments of desperation, but he wasn't stupid
Lizzie - She was very sweet, just sheltered and lonely
Kate Winslet - great sense of humour

Worst -
Daniel Radcliffe - annoying, and not that funny
Warwick Davis's wife - she just came across as a snobby bitch, even though she was in the right.
The weirdos in the pub - I felt a bit sorry for them, because Andy was being mean, but I didn't really like that subplot.
Linda - Bowie's hanger on who seemed like an ignorant cow
Cathy - Andy's neighbour/potential love interest who had no sense of humour
The posh guy who Maggie slept with - Complete nob! "put some minge around it!"
Clive Owen - nasty
Robert Lindsay - not funny and just irritating to watch
Louise (Orlando Bloom episode) - vile woman! Glad Maggie got the last laugh in the end

I have not watched any Extras episodes in year.

However I remember:
- Patrick Stewart: always wanting ladies' clothes to fall off.
- Ross Kemp: pretending to be tough and being confronted by Vinnie Jones.

Worst:
Daniel Radcliffe: Agree he was annoying and unfunny

I dunno, I thought Radcliffe was pretty funny. ‘I hate reading’ 🤣

Rapid-fire delivery of “Here’s my mum. Say they’re your fags…” Was hilarious.

For me Ian McKellen was by far the funniest guest star. His description of his acting technique was priceless.

Winslet would be my second choice.
