Series 1 and 2 (DVD), now on sale at Wal-Mart. I paid $23 for series 1 in Calgary, and it was worth every penny in laughs. I have never seen it before, but after hearing about it non-stop from friends back in England, I had to get it. I haven't laughed so hard in ages.

You could have just downloaded it ( yes you heard that right, since a judge said p2p is not illegal ), that is what i did, and you will be surprised at what yo can get.

It has a big following back home, and that silly dance they do, has been done at many an office party. So i'll take it you will be buying the other series then.

On a different office ( the white house ), what do people actually think of those pictures coming out of Iraq, regarding the prisoners? Its like slavery all over again, its amazing that rumsfeld ( who probably had relatives that went through the holocust, should know better ), will come out trying to cover up the blatant pictures. Now if that was the UK, Geoff Hoon will have gone the same day the pictures surfaced.

Stupid guy

.........with this how the hell are we gonna label em blinking Islamic freedom fighters "Terrorisits" anymore...
...now that the cats out of the bag and they have proven who the actual terrorists are ....our brave US army!!!

How the hell can we justify robbing their oil anymore..!! under thepretext of spreading "Democracy" man this sux !! We need to think of another plan ASAP to keep that oil flowing....

...any body got any ideas...???

One word: awful. By the way, mickj, there were similar pictures of Brits abusing prisoners which turn out to be a hoax (and not very well put together). All that talks of bringing democracy and all that. Sickening. No excuse at all. And to think about it, they are trying to stop a new Michael Moore movie from being screened. Freedom of speech, my foot.

BBC comedy at Wal-Mart to torturing prisoners...sorry I brought it up (I did get series 2 today though).

As someone who has worked in the corporate environment, The Office is .... priceless. Best thing to come from BBC2 since This Life.

Cheers, Iain

I absolutely agree with that. It's a shame that there are no more episodes to come but I think it finished at the right time, while it was still top quality.

I understand that a US version is being made with US actors. Somehow I can't imagine it being as good. Who could possibly be as perfect in the role of David Brent and Gareth as the originals?!

mickj

I don't think a US version can be made, don't forget it was shown on US TV, and he won an award for it, well...they all did ! The guy did the right thing, quit whilst you are ahead, he made enough money out of it, got a bigger house, still can't drive, but it doesn't bother him, because you can pay someone else to do it.

Bring back Simon Templer, upstairs downstairs, are you being served, rising damp, carry on episodes with all the hot totties.

The xmas episode with Brent's music video is classic cringeworthy Office! Fantastic stuff!

CalgaryAMC

So is there a special Christmas episode not on series 1 or series 2!?! I shall have to find a way of getting hold of it!

stepnek

Absolutely right. To have the two extra Xmas episodes were a treat and they wrapped up the conclusion quite nicely.
