      @@rmstitanic8163 well yes, Gervais was a commanding factor in that episode and Les was great to go along with what he was trying to put across to the viewer... lots of Mavis and Family Fortunes anecdotes that we've all heard before.
      Not as good as Keith Chegwin's queer-hating turn in another episode, but I enjoyed watching Les send himself up.
      And in the FF clip here, I'm sure Canham was winding him up with the impression Led did. No one could seriously mistake a Rodney impression from a grandad one, no matter how bad it was! I think Canham was trying to get a few laughs for himself by being a little sarcastic, just as Del himself might have done!
      Maybe I'm completely wrong but I just found Les' performance funny enough to watch it again and again, especially as he's starkers and begins drying himself right in front of Gervais, who has to play with a switch on the wall to avoid making any eye contact! 😂

      @@mikewilson714 I agree with you. That is funny. But i think it's funny because of Ricky's reaction to Les being naked. I give him one thing. The fact that he was naked and not in the best of shape at that time. But talking about Extras. My favourite was the episode with Patrick Stewart and his fixation of seeing naked women. His new film and he has a mind power to make things happen, and mostly it's about women losing their clothes and he keeps saying, I've seen everything. It's too late to cover up, because I've seen it all. 🤣 Now that is funny. When you consider that he is generally a serious actor, his straight acting as a sex maniac is brilliant.
