EP1 Episode 201 Feb 23, 2006

It is three months since the accident and Anika is praying that her boyfriend Oliver will wake from his coma. Oliver is stuck on a life support machine after the car crash that killed Michelle but at least it means he's off the coke. Sinister Nurse Dunkley can't believe her eyes when she spots Anika at Oliver's bedside - she's the spitting image of her older sister Tanya Turner. The once 'hot new talent' of Earls Park, Seb Webb, is fighting to stay out of Division Two after being dumped from the Premiership and sold to ailing City. His girlfriend, Yasmin, turns up at the City training ground to watch her man play after a holiday abroad with her best friend, Chanel. But when Seb gets tackled by one of his team-mates, Yasmin can't resist having a go and soon the fists are flying as she and another female spectator come to blows. Later, she and Seb argue about the incident and their relationship - Yasmin is fast losing interest in Seb and the constant self-pity trip he's been on ever since being dumped by Earls Park. Yasmin and Rees are furious with their mum Joly when she drops her latest bombshell - she and Bruno never divorced - they're his legitimate kids after all. Yasmin can't believe that her mum brought them up in poverty on a rough council estate when they could have been living a life of luxury with Bruno. Unable to take her mother's lies anymore, she chucks her out of the flat. At least Joly can count on the welcoming arms of Matt. Together, they move into a hotel as a temporary measure. Rees is mad about Yasmin's feisty mate Chanel. She's a man magnet and with her fun-size stature and good time attitude, there's nothing she likes better than a good bonk, and Rees is bowled over when she suggests a quickie in the back seat of her clapped out car. But Chanel isn't interested in a relationship - she just wants a regular shag. Oliver's dad, Earls Park Chairman Garry Ryan is sick of prolonging the inevitable and decides it's time to turn his son's life support machine off. Anika is distraught, she can't believe Garry could be so heartless, but as long as the doctors insist that Oliver is never going to recover, there's nothing she can do. In desperation, she begs for Nurse Dunkley's help. During Oliver's next bed bath, Dunkley puts her magical healing hands into action and with the aid of a rolled up towel, manages to stir him out of his coma

EP2 Episode 202 Mar 02, 2006

Seb is down in the dumps after being shafted from Earls Park, now he can't even get on the bench at City. In a bid to cheer himself up, he decides to get wasted, only thing is, Yasmin's not interested and instead, gives him a long lecture about how he should be putting all of his efforts into impressing his new boss. And anyway, even playing for City he earns more in a week than most people earn in a year - it's time for him to put up and shut up. Seb starts to phone around, but he soon discovers that nobody is interested in hearing from a has-been. Funny how the "hangers-on" disappear the moment you're dropped from the Premiership! It's a miracle! Coma victim Oliver is awake and now sitting up in bed, proof that Nurse Dunkley really does have healing hands. Luckily for Oliver, he can't remember anything about her very peculiar methods beyond the odd, very confusing flashback. But he's got more important things on his mind, namely, how he's going to support himself and Anika now that his so-called friend Ed has run Chukka Ent. into the ground. It's official, Matt and Joly are a team. They're going into business together, opening a restaurant. With his fantastic reputation as a top chef and her business mind and front of house skills, it can't fail. Matt excitedly shows Joly the premises he has found. It needs a lot of work, but this is it - their future. Although Joly is excited, she's still preoccupied with the fact that Yasmin still refuses to talk to her. But Matt's got an idea that might work to get Joly back in favour with her kids, beginning with offering Rees the role of second-in-command in the kitchen. Rees is ecstatic and Joly is made up for him, if only she could get Yasmin to work at the restaurant too. Now that Joly's gone, there's a spare room in the twin's flat and Yasmin doesn't waste any time in offering it to Chanel. Although she's well up for the idea of living in her best mate's luxury apartment, Chanel is a bit concerned about how Rees is going to handle the idea - it's obvious he's head over heels in love with her. But Yas is insistent and before long, the girls head back to the estate to pick up Chanel's gear. As she's struggling across the catwalk with Chanel's toolkit, Yasmin spots a familiar face from the past amongst a passing funeral cortege - it's her ex, Cash. Anika is delighted that Oliver had been brought back from the brink and can't thank Nurse Dunkley enough. Neither can Oliver's father, Garry who presents her with a huge bouquet of roses and an envelope full of cash to prove his gratitude. Never one to miss an opportunity, Garry has also turned up with half of Fleet Street in tow and plans to milk his son's miracle recovery to the full. But his story backfires when Anika tells them the truth - only the other day, Garry Ryan wanted to turn his son's life support machine off. Seb and Darius are both depressed - kicked out of Earls Park and with no future prospects, life is grim. But when Seb visits Darius in hospital they lose their minds on a mix of vodka, morphine and cocaine. Soon their day becomes a riot of pumping music, Class A drugs and a high speed wheelchair race down the hospital corridors. Life never seemed so good... right until the moment when a high-speed collision with Garry Ryan brings them crashing back to reality. Garry was being photographed by the press handing over a vast cheque to the children's ward and he's livid. Darius and Seb both need teaching a lesson! Although she knows he's bad news, Yasmin is worried about Cash when she discovers that his dad has just died and can't stop thinking about him. It doesn't help that she's completely losing interest in Seb who arrives home from the hospital drunk, coked up to the eyeballs and in an aggressive mood. Later, when he's crashed out, there's a knock at the door - it's Cash! Yasmin knows that she shouldn't give into temptation, but she can't help it and in a matter of seconds, they're ripping each other's clothes off.

EP3 Episode 203 Mar 09, 2006

Whoops! Yasmin shagged Cash on her living room floor whilst her boyfriend Seb slept next door. Luckily, hangover Seb doesn't suspect a thing, but he would have to be blind not to notice the cut on her lip caused by an overabundance of passion. He assumes that he must have hit her when he was drunk the night before and is mortified when she confirms that it was him. Seb is hugely apologetic and, although it allows Yas out of a tight corner, it does leave her feeling very guilty. But there's another shock in store for Seb when he leaves the flat and sees Cash's very distinctive yellow sports car. Chanel wakes to find Rees in her bed gazing at her like a love sick puppy - he's got to stop that - it's enough to make her puke. But soon the flat is full of the sounds of a loud argument as Seb arrives back to confront Yasmin about Cash. She hands Seb the keys for the sports car and he is forced to explain that he bought it for Cash in exchange for him promising to leave Yasmin alone. Yas is furious - she can't believe Seb swapped her for a car! Anika wants to strike a deal with miracle healer Nurse Dunkley. She and Oliver want to act as her managers and market her "healing hands" by making a DVD called "Awakening with Jeanette" - she could be bigger than Jesus! The whiff of money certainly gets the naughty nurse's attention, but how can she pull it off? And of course, she also has her other patients to think about, namely Darius. The young striker has hit rock bottom - without football he's nothing. Luckily, Jeanette seems to be more than eager to look after his needs. Now she's his personal carer, she'll be on hand whenever he wants. And it isn't long before Darius is pleading with her to lay her healing hands on him. Thanks to his drunken and drug fuelled antics at the hospital, Seb has been dumped by City. He turns up at Garry's office and pleads with him to help - he'll work for half-pay, play for the reserves - anything for a second chance. Garry's not interested. As far as he's concerned, the only person Seb has to blame for the mess his life has become is himself. Garry has set Anika and fully fit Oliver up in a luxury flat. He's impressed by the way that Oliver has sorted himself out and kicked the coke and the flat is his reward - he's even put Oliver's name on the deeds so it's his for keeps. Oliver and Anika are happy to oblige - they can flog the place and use it to finance "Awakenings"! Rees is depressed when he learns that Chanel is seeing her ex, Jimmy, but his feelings of jealousy turn into something else entirely when he witnesses just how badly Jimmy treats her. Afterwards, Rees has it out with Chanel, he can't believe she would rather someone like Jimmy treat her like shit when Rees himself would treat her like a princess. But as Chanel is quick to point out, she wants a man, not a love sick little boy. Seb is amused by Rees's obsession with Chanel - he's got the perfect relationship if only he could see it - no ties, no commitments and plenty of sex! Yasmin goes to confront Cash about the sports car. She knows he's bad news, but within minutes of walking into his flat, she's in bed with him. She resolves to finish her relationship with Seb until she discovers that he's been sacked by City. Now he's lost everything he needs her more than ever. Yas is torn - what is she going to do?

Unbeknownst to Seb, his days are numbered now Cash has got it in for him. What Cash wants, Cash gets - and there's no way he's sharing Yas with Seb.

Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
OChrist This spin-off manages the tough task of being just as entertaining as its glamorous mother show "Footballers Wive$"-- in some ways it's even better, since its compact episode lengths (22m for Series One and 33m for Series Two) allow for a faster pace. "Extra Time" really deserves to be judged on its own. It carves out a unique identity, grittier, raunchier, less suburban, yet absolutely in keeping with FBW's high standard of unpretentiously heightened drama.Among the many pleasures of "Extra Time"'s all-too-brief two seasons: expertly crafted plot lines involving Anika Beevor, Tanya Turner's ruthless baby sister, and her whorifying simultaneous relationships with Earls Park owner/pervy ex-pop star Gary Ryan and his hot son Oliver, and the murderous love triangle between Bruno Milligan's housing estate love child Yasmin, doomed footballer Seb Webb and fascinating roughneck sociopath Cash Brown; and the return of sick bitch-nurse Jeanette Dunkley, whose antics with Darius are so wrong they're right.Add to this the best cast since FBW Series One. Sarah Matravers has the gutsy, commanding quality of Rachel Griffiths-- Joly Salter, her hard-luck mum abandoned by Bruno years before anchors the show with real family heart much the way Jackie is the moral center of FBW. Marc Bannerman is the manliest slab of FBW beef since Jason Turner-- helping spike the hunk quotient are the enormously appealing Marc Hendrey as Rees, Jack Pierce's psycho-sexy Cash, and Travis Oliver, who provides the best nudity in FBW history as Anika's troubled toy-boy. His and hers scene-stealing top honors go to Ross Finbow as Cash's put-upon, affecting accomplice Woody, and the outrageously charismatic Dominique Moore. Playing Yaz and Rees's trashette pal Chanel, she's hilarious, shameless and bubbling over with entitlement. In short, she's what FBW has always been all about.Sod off, naysayers. Now I want to watch every episode of EXTRA TIME again.
markwilliams91983 Footballers Wive$: Extra Time is the unnecessary cousin to the superior Footballers Wives. It seems like a collection of deleted scenes that ITV did not seem good enough to put on the main show. Characters are poor, including those god awful twins belonging to Bruno, and the story lines are mediocre at best. Seb Webb (great name there) is a miniature version of Bruno Milligan with same mannerisms and vacant look. Anneka or Anika or however you spell her name is a diet version of Tanya Turner but crap. The first episode of the second series had a psychotic nurse called Jeanette Dunkley hitting a coma patient's genitals in order to gain a response. She said it was part of "special treatment" - surely the NHS has not gotten that bad? Watch it if you have not got a total fix of Footballers Wives but do not expect anything of the same quality.Rating: D
Jenna (hayden-panettiere-ukfan) Okay, I love Footballers Wives as much as the next person (Assuming the next person likes it too, that is.) But it's led me to think - was Footballers Wives - Extra Time really necessary? The plot lines are really weak, and the acting of the new characters is very wooden.The old cast - Helen Latham, Jamie Davis and Ben Richards to name but a few - are still good, of course, and always will be in my eyes. But the newer cast- Bruno's children and Tanya's sister - are dreadful. I really hope they're not going to be on the actual programme when it is brought back on ITV.All this series is to me is a desperate attempt to milk more out of a show that sadly, seems to be coming to an end in itself.
