	BBC - Comedy: The Office - Character Profile - David Brent
		David Brent was the Regional Manager based at the Slough Office of Wernham Hogg.
		He is a philosopher to rival Descartes, a musician to rival Texas, a dancer to rival MC Hammer - and has an acute grasp of political correctness.
		Yet the BBC documentary crew that filmed him at work in The Office stitched him up and portrayed him as the 'boss from hell'.

	The Office (US TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Office (alternate title: The Office: An American Workplace) is a television comedy about the day-to-day lives of office employees of the fictitious Dunder Mifflin Paper Company in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
		Rounding out the office are the stern salesman Stanley Hudson, who barely stands for Michael's constant references to his African-American heritage; the free-flowing Creed (played by musician Creed Bratton, formerly of The Grass Roots); the innocent and timid Phyllis Lapin; the bubbly and talkative Kelly Kapoor; and the depressed alcoholic single mother Meredith Palmer.
		Dwight has on his office cabinet a bumper sticker promoting Froggy-101, a country-western radio station in Scranton, and on his desk are bobble-head dolls from the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons baseball team.

		The first was the UK version, which was initially broadcast on BBC Two on 9 July 2001 and ran for two seasons and a pair of Christmas specials.
		Both are set in the offices of a paper supply company, with a boss whose high opinion of his own managerial skills (and his sense of humour) are not shared by his employees.
		Both feature an irritating "assistant to the regional manager" and two characters, an in-house sales representative and a receptionist, who are good friends with an apparent chemistry between them that gives the viewers the impression that their relationship could go beyond friendship if it were not for the fact that the receptionist is already engaged.

		Basically, the Office is a comedy programme shown on BBC 2 that poses as a mock "fly on the wall" documentary about office Life.

		The Office was the surprise comedy hit of last year, a spoof documentary set in the Slough offices of a paper merchant called Wernham Hogg, which was so true to life that it was exceptionally difficult for the first episode or so to tell if we were actually seeing a real documentary or not.

		The Office is not actually a reality show, it is written as a spoof reality show, which is one of the many things that makes it such genius writing.
		I work in an office (which is different to the one depicted at Werham Hogg but is an office non-the-less) and I thought it insightful and on-the-mark.
		Two years on most of the office staff are still there, Gareth being a pain, David not able to completely sever the ties with his old life while pathetically trying to extend his five minutes of fame via his "personal appearances".

	The Office - Second Season
		The British series The Office returns to BBC America with six new episodes in its second season.
		A wickedly written, expertly acted take on self-deceptions born of class envy and sexual anxiety, and set in a sterile modern workplace, it’s a screamingly funny and often ferociously dark work that refuses to deal in easy answers or happy endings.
		David Brent (Gervais), the rotund office manager whose desperate congeniality barely masks a seething hostility, is still force-feeding himself with delusions of his own grandeur.

		Dawn in the original, was a mixed bag herself and HER reaction shots were filled with panicked avoidance because she hadn't confronted the lies (about her fiance and her work as an illustrator) consuming her life.
		As I write this midway through Season 2 of the Office I think it has improved 100% I am a GREAT fan of the British version and while I think the US version is inferior, I also recognize that it sets out to be a different show.
		Ricky Gervais was crude, bigoted, thin-skinned, and universally disliked in his office -- the picture of the woman with Ricky's face, having sex with two men said it all as to what everyone thought of him.

		The brilliant and devastating comedy of The Office is brought to a satisfying conclusion in The Office Special, originally a two-part Christmas special on the BBC, set three years after the end of the faux-documentary's second season.
		Okay, most offices don't have giant inflatable genitalia, or a comedy-for-charity day, but the core of it is frighteningly close to home.
		Clearly destined for cult status, this is "The Office" as it was meant to be, with a darkly funny storyline culminating in a satisfying finale.

	'The Office': NBC's Passable Duplicate Of the Brit Hit (washingtonpost.com)
		Largely faithful in tone to the BBC series, which concentrates on the maddening banality of workplace-as-microcosm, NBC's "Office" still fails to score a direct hit, settling instead for an amusing approximation.
		Back at "The Office,"' the central problem is the star of the show -- Steve Carell as boss Michael Scott is simply not as good as was Ricky Gervais as the boss in the British prototype.
		Others in the cast are nearly as good as their British equivalents, including sweetie-pie Jenna Fischer as wistful Pam, the office receptionist who dares now and then to dream of escape from this drably suffocating environment, and two competing salesmen, John Krasinski as the coolly flippant Jim and Rainn Wilson as the slimy little Dwight.

		The story of an office that faces closure when the company decides to downsize its branches.
		The humour of 'The Office' is varied and multi-layered - so varied, in fact, that it bears repeated viewing since there is so much there that is easy to miss.
		They have their ups and downs, like any real person, and the humour really is a case of not knowing whether to laugh or cry - such a dark distinction that very few comedies have ever matched.

	Another Day at The Office - The BBC series returns for a melancholy farewell. By Dana Stevens
		Not only do Office fans have to be patient about waiting for the next installment—it's been over two years since the end of the second season—they have to exercise patient attention in each individual episode, each individual scene.
		Last night's so-called "Office Special" on BBC America was not really a reunion show but a kind of coda to the second season, which ended with all the major story arcs unhappily resolved, leaving an aching void in the hearts of fans.
		Even though The Office specializes in what a friend of mine likes to call "cringe theater," and in almost unbearably melancholic tableaux of office life, the show is also ultimately very generous toward its characters and toward life.

		One of the major draws of the show during the first two seasons, besides the antics of Michael Scott and Dwight K. Schrute, was the Jim and Pam will-they-or-won’t-they relationship.
		Don’t forget, The Office is on at a “special time” tonight (8:36/7:36c) after My Name is Earl’s supersized “Laugh ‘N Sniff” episode.
		They sat down and decided that, although they'd set up The Office in a faux-documentary style and that the realism of the show was part of the appeal, the character of Michael Scott would be allowed to break down that wall whenever it was deemed necessary.

	Defending NBC's The Office - A British import the network didn't mangle. By Kera Bolonik
		And yet the writers at the NBC's The Office have done something unprecedented: With the exception of the pilot, which was a predictable re-enactment of the British script, The Office (Thursdays, 9:30 p.m.
		The latter is apparent as early as the second episode, "Diversity Day," in which Dunder-Mifflin employees are subjected to two excruciating cultural awareness seminars after Michael performs a Chris Rock routine on "the two different kinds of fl people." The second of the two seminars is an impromptu forum run by the clueless perp himself.

		That's been the general reaction from fans upon hearing that NBC was launching a U.S. version of the BBC comedy The Office (premiering Thursday, March 24, at 9:30 p.m., before settling into its regular time slot).
		The good news for fans — and neophytes — is that the new sitcom is clever and insular, capturing all the drudgery, awkwardness, and rivalry of cubicle living.
		But as every office drone knows, a copy is never quite as perfect as the original.
