Ricky Gervais talks to Jonathan Ross this Friday night on 大象传媒 ONE
Friday Night With Jonathan Ross -
10.35pm, Friday 8 September on 大象传媒 ONE
听
Jonathan Ross kicks off a new run of his multi award-winning chat show this Friday.
听
Tonight there's another visit from ubiquitous comedy actor-cum-movie star Ricky Gervais, about to return to 大象传媒 TWO with a second series of Extras.
听
"I think it's the funniest thing we've done. I never really cared how The Office was received - we really did it for ourselves. [With this new series] we just pretended it was the first time again, really."
听
The series includes guest appearances from David Bowie, Orlando Bloom and Keith Chegwin - "He's amazing" - but Gervais reveals that he was turned down by Keith Harris: "He said he didn't like it, wasn't comfortable with it. People either get it or they don't."
听
Jonathan also welcomes to the show one of Britain's best-loved actresses and national treasure, Julie Walters, whose latest film, Driving Lessons, opens this week.
听
Julie reveals that she is her own harshest critic: "I thought I was dreadful in Educating Rita. I couldn't wait to get out [of the screening] and sit in the toilet. I just remember thinking how ugly I looked."

And Big Brother's Pete and Nikki join Jonathan on the sofa for their first TV interview together, to talk about their BB experience.
听
About their future together, Nikki says: "We'll see. we hate each other really! I'm feeling quite content at the moment. They knew how to push my buttons in the house."
听
And Pete explains that his motive for going into the house was "To go in, sort out awareness of Tourette's, go home and go to bed."
听
The line-up also includes music from The Killers with an exclusive performance of their new single, When You Were Young, live in the studio.
