Jonathan Ross kicks off a new run of his multi award-winning chat show this Friday.

Tonight there's another visit from ubiquitous comedy actor-cum-movie star Ricky Gervais, about to return to ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ TWO with a second series of Extras.

"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."

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."

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.

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."
