The Office

John Uskglass

Venerable Relic of the Wastes
Got the 2nd season on DVD for CCR-day, as we could'nt find the first on DVD.

Among the funniest thing's I've ever seen. I'm a little confused by what a "breadbox" is, but damn, that's hilarious.
 
I actually was told the same thing by a colleague today, so it seems to be very good indeed.
 
I've seen quite a bit of it, mainly because some magazine said it was brilliant.
Personally, I thought it sucked major ass. It is positively one of the most boring and uninteresting pieces of British television I have ever seen.
 
I've seen it on TV a few times, it's great fun. The boss is so pathetic. He gets what he deserves later though.
 
I own both seasons, it's excellent.

Also, I noticed that they'll be showing the last episode (unavailable on DVD, at least not yet) on my plane to London this Wednesday. That rules.

CC - you really should get the first season. I think it's funnier, and gives a lot of good character background/set up for the second season.
 
I've searched every Borders, Best Buy and Barnes and Nobles in thirty miles, and I have'nt seen it. Getting it on Amazon.
 
A bit of spoilers...

The final episode was a two-parter, here are the descriptions:

Episode 1: It's been three years since the BBC documentary crew first turned up at the office. Back for one last visit, they find Gareth Keenan now in charge and as the staff of Wernham Hogg know all too well, he runs the office with a military precision. Since we last saw David Brent he has become a sales rep for a cleaning products company, released his own pop single and has acquired a showbiz agent to look after his celebrity appearances. He visits his old place of work regularly, despite him successfully suing Wernham Hogg for unfair dismissal. The big news as far as Tim is concerned is the imminent arrival of Dawn. The documentary crew has kindly offered to fly Dawn and boyfriend Lee from Florida back to Slough for the office Christmas party - an event that may well have a wet T-shirt competition if Keith has anything to do with it.

Episode 2: Tim's world is rocked when Dawn turns up at the office to say hello. Despite a stern warning from Gareth and wise words from Keith in Accounts, Tim can't help but get his hopes up again. Meanwhile, David Brent secured the services of a dating agency and, in between making celebrity appearances in nightclubs for £500 a go, he met up for drinks with a rather disappointing selection of single women. The office Christmas party kicked off like any other but there were a few surprises in store. The first was the arrival of David Brent's date, who turned out to be a very attractive and intelligent woman (almost as intelligent as David). The second involved Dawn, who had left early with boyfriend Lee, but who later returned alone, marching straight into the arms of Tim.
