 * I've been thinking that. why is everyone so quick to link it to dinnerladies? Except perhaps for the setting (although i didn't realise that when the whistle blows was in a canteen) and the style of the themesong. it feels much more Hardware to me...user: amoammo

Why not to delete
Of course When The Whistle Blows does not exist. Neither do, for example, Lady Macbeth or the land of Narnia. WTWB is significant as an entity within Ricky Gervais' work. It demonstrates what Gervais is against, and thus what Gervais is for, and therefore needs to be considered separately from Extras. It's also likely to become a popular cultural reference, and people will want to come and look it up without going through all the Extras stuff.

If you think Extras itself is too minor and transient to warrant multiple articles, that is a reasonable position but many will differ. Personally, I think the character descriptions in WTWB are currently too detailed and should be replaced with references to stock sitcom characters, but the article itself has value.

I read on holy moly that Ricky and Steven used to do impressions of Ken Morley in Hardware and used that as the basis for the character 164.143.240.33 13:45, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
