Comedy star and writer Ricky Gervais has said he would like actor-turned politician Arnold Schwarzenegger to star in the next series of his hit show 'Extras'.

'The Office' creator has said that he hopes to make a third series of the show and has compiled a "wish-list" of celebrities that he would like to appear in upcoming episodes.

Speaking to the Daily Mirror, Gervais said: "People seem to like it and I think that there's some mileage in it."

"My wish list for guests to appear in another series is as long as your arm, but [California] Governor Schwarzenegger has to be there."

Gervais said he would also be interested in getting Meryl Streep, Bruce Willis, Dick van Dyke and Mickey Rooney to appear in the comedy show.
