It's about a guy named Andy Millman (Gervais) who wants to make it big in the movie business but is forced to take on little roles as an extra in films with well-known actors.
Basically, they have a new Hollywood or British a-lister in each episode (Patrick Stewart, Kate Winslet, David Bowie, Orlando Bloom, Samuel L. Jackson, ...) who plays a slightly twisted version of him-/herself; in this case, Dan Radcliffe as a sex-obsessed teenager who wants to impress ~~people~~ girls with his smoking. That episode also stars Warwick Davis, by the way. Very very funny!

So yay for this award, although I can't remember offhand if this really was the best episode.

[edit]
And yes, there are snippets on YouTube.

Thank yo ufor the explination.

It sounds good, so I'll definitely check it out somewhere. Sounds like Dan had an...interesting role.

And Warwick Davis, too? I'm there!
