The entire first series of the award-winning spoof fly-on-the-wall docu-comedy set in the offices of Wernham Hogg, a Slough paper merchants. Ricky Gervais' excruciatingly funny...
more...portrayal of the tragically inept manager David Brent drew favourable comparisons with John Cleese's role in Fawlty Towers, and THE OFFICE is assured a similar place in the hall of fame of UK comedy. Whether dealing with his overly officious sidekick Gareth, the engaged yet lovelorn receptionist Dawn or Tim the disillusioned sales rep, handling the opposite sex, the potential redundancies as the imminent merging of two branches looms or the ultimate office cliche--the training day--Brent never fails to demonstrate his desperate inadequacies.
All six fantastic episodes:
1. Downsize - David Brent learns that his staff are threatened with redundancy but he's been promoted.
2. Work Experience - Donna arrives at Wernham Hogg for work experience.
3. The Quiz - It's the Annual Quiz night but it's also Tim's birthday too. Will the young Tim and Gareth beat Brent and Finchy

Well, where do i start...

"Money Don't make my world go round, i'm reaching out for a higher ground"
- David Brents favourite philosopher Des're!

"Ohh Kinky"
- Just another classic phrase of the Bernt Meister General

"What you gunna do? Phone Me?"
-Tim insulting Garath...again

Well, these are just a few of the classic lines in the series. These are just the ones that come to mind. I am sat their laughing every single episode of the antics of David Brent (Ricky Gervais), Garath (Macenzie Crook) and Tim (Martin Freeman)as well as the others

Well, David Brent is the manager of one of the Branches of Wornam Hogg, a paper Merchants in the UK. He believes laughter is the best way to be succesful...Well, maybe not. He spends all his time arseing around and not doing his job.Thats what makes it so amusing!

Garath, well what can i say. An ex Army member who is Brents right hand man. He totally Worships him! Their with his basin haircut and Hilarious lines he has got to be one of the stars of the episode.

Tim, is the other top guy in the series. He spends most of his time taking the total piss out of Garath...Who wouldnt! Anyway, some of the things he comes out with are great. Total Classic

This is just how i see the Characters. I am sure you will agree when you have seen it. It may sound stupid from this, but trust me. You will not be disapointed.

Pure Genius Acting from the whole Crew!

And just think...Series Two willl be avaliable on DVD soon!
