The Office - Series 1

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 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.
4. Training - Rowan, a management consultant, has come to Wernham Hogg to give the staff a special training day.
5. New Girl - Even though some of the staff may be made redundant, Brent decides to take on a new secretary. Naturally, he chooses the prettiest woman.
6. Judgement - It's judgement day on whether the office is to be downsized...
