Yeah, Extras is finished. I remember reading somewhere that "Fawlty Towers" and its 12 episode run was a big inspiration to Gervais and Merchant, and that it remains timeless because all 12 episodes are great. There are no duds, and with the entire run at only 12 episodes, it left viewers wanting more; on a high point, if you will.
Hence, 12 episodes (+ 2 specials) for The Office, and 12 for Extras.
But yeah, Extras was great. The scene in the last (or second to last) episode with Merchant and the bikini pen brought me to tears.
