Episode Six
Extras - series one, episode six. First aired 25/08/05
Looks like movie star and serious Shakespearian actor Patrick Stewart has 'made it so' for Andy Millman. Andy gave Patrick his sitcom script to look at and subsequently found himself invited to discuss it with Iain Morris, Head of New Comedy at the BBC.

Shaun Pye, who plays the recurring character Greg, was once comedy critic for Evening Standard before venturing into stand-up himself. He writes for They Think It's All Over, Never Mind the Buzzcocks and Friday Night With Jonathan Ross.
Andy's dreams teeter on the verge of coming true. If only he can just get along with Damon, the campest script editor in the world, and if only Maggie, for once, can avoid putting her foot in it, all might go to plan.
Andy's sitcom sounds oddly familiar. It's all about a former boss, called Ray, who has some quirky ways. Maybe we'll find out more in Series Two.
In this episode we discover Andy's first girlfriend looked like Ronnie Corbett. We also finally find out what Andy's Agent's name is: Darren Lamb.
