Funnyman Ricky Gervais has his sights on a new target for his hit TV show Extras - Hollywood legend Al Pacino. The British comedian has convinced a string of A-list stars - including Kate Winslet, David Bowie, George Michael, and Orlando Bloom - into agreeing to appear on the program in the past.

Now he wants to land his biggest ever target, by luring the star of The Godfather onto the show for a one-off special episode on the TV series, about a struggling actor who rubs shoulders with the stars.

Gervais writes on his blog that he is penning a new episode with comedy partner Stephen Merchant, adding: "Does anyone know Al Pacino?"
