Gervais: Third 'Extras' series unlikely

Ricky Gervais has warned that the second series of Extras will be the last.

After discussing the issue with writing partner Steve Merchant, the comic decided that he wants to leave the show's fans wanting more.

"At the moment, I don’t think there will be another one," he told The Sun. "Steve and I have always had this thing where we only like to do two series.

"It's like The Office, people are always asking why we didn’t do any more, but we just wanted to leave people wanting more. Why drag it out and ruin it? I've seen that happen to other comedies and I hate it."
