Advantages: Combines Paracetamol with Caffeine for fast action Disadvantages: Price
Whilst working in an over-crowded, stuffy and cacophonous office headaches have become an unwanted occupational hazard. As a result I've been trying all sorts of different medication to try and help ease my way through the day in fact this is something like the fifth over the counter product I've tried in recent weeks. One of the most expensive was PanadolExtra (funnily enough it was also one of the most heavily advised by the shop assistants...funny that isn't it), I got an 8 tablet packet of the product for around £2 with the idea that the product was the quickest acting due to mixing caffeine with paracetamol.

Andy Millman is very different to David Brent, sharing only a couple of facial expressions. Millman is more down to earth, a very cynical guy with a biting sense of humour and a vulnerable desire to achieve.
Each episode sees Andy working as an extra on a film ...
