the office, is an absolutly hilarious situation comedy created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. it was actually broadcast on bb1 in 2001, and after only managing to see the last episode of series one, as soon as this came out on dvd i was one of the first to buy it.
the main concept of the office is that it follows working people in their every day working life around the office. however they are all actors. david brent ( ricky gervais) is the boss of a paper merchant who kind of fancies himself and thinks hes really funny. all of this just makes the office so good because doesnt everyone know sombody like this? and doesnt everyone hate working in an office? the office is definatly the funniest sitcom iv come across and proably will be for some time. so i advise all of you office newbies to go out an get this fantastic piece of comedy.
the first series has 6 episodes on disk one, and on disk two there is an exclusive documentry and deleted scenes. it runs for aprox 174 mins and is rated 15. thanks.
