    • Quotes

      Andy Millman: He doesn't think you're a racist.

      Maggie Jacobs: He does! He's just seen me say to a black woman, "You're not allowed to sit on this bus." It's like that whole racism-on-a-bus incident all over again.

      Andy Millman: What, the Rosa Parks incident?

      Maggie Jacobs: It wasn't in a park, it was on a bus.

      Andy Millman: Sure.

    Samuel L Jackson
    Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant certainly can do excruciating comedy and here they turn up the dial to 11.

    Maggie fancies a black actor in the latest film that she and Andy are Extras in but every time she utters a word to him she ends up making an unintentional racial mishap. The funniest scene is where Andy does a test on her whether she is a racist or not and has to answer some questions. These include questions such as who is the Prime Minister of Britain and then who is the Prime Minister of Botswana plus similar types of questions.

    Andy has problems of his own. Although he has bagged a speaking role in the movie opposite Samuel L Jackson but he seems to be pursued by Dullard (Steven Speirs) a middle aged lonely Welshman who just wants to have dinner with him. Andy just cannot shake him off and ends up going to a cosy restaurant with him.
