I had no clue what to excpect when I first saw this years ago but because it was Gervais/Merchant i gave it a go, and im glad I did. This show is absolutely hilarious. Warwick Davis plays hismself/character to perfection. They literally take the piss out of every single sterotype related to dwarves/small people and its brilliantly done. Having the famous actor in each episode also adds to the hilarity. if you liked Extras then you should love this!

There should of been a season 2. I Love the dry comedy of Ricky and Stephen...and the way Warwick portrayed "himself" is just hilarious but also lovable!
