This has to be one of the best comedies for a long time. The Office is a comedy show that has you in stitches. Filmed in documentary style there?s no background audience it follows the goings on in The Office. Written and directed by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Mercant. Ricky used to be in the 11 0?Clock show. He plays the boss

Ricky Gervais plays David Brent the boss. But he?s very unconventional. He plays jokes on his staff and tried to be their friend. One of the first episodes that I watched I came in half way through when he was telling someone that they had to leave, the poor girl was in tear. It seemed so plausible and it was all so serious. Only to reveal that he ?joking? after she had cried and cried. It was the best TV. He (Ricky G.) didn?t even move an eyelid-it was so funny.

I really like Gareth who is played by Mackenzie Crook, very slim build and pale complexion. He?s been in the territorial army and still things he?s in it. He?s one of them people who has to follow the rules, he?s second in charge so he thinks. There?s a lot of humour at his expense and half the time he hardly realises.
Dawn is the receptionist played by Lucy Davis. And is often the object of the Brent?s jokes. And there?s Tim, the more sane one out of them all. He?s always plotting to get at Gareth, hide his stapler something very tedious but very irritating.

There isn?t really a fixed story line but it?s just that the documentary style filming means that everything should be serious but thing happen in the Office that aren?t. David Brent is a boss that can?t help but get involved with the rest of the workers. The relationship between them all is really good and that?s what makes it all good. Gareth like Brent, who likes winding the Dawn up, she likes Tim and Tim with the help of her is trying to find something to irritate Gareth.

In one episode Brent has to inform the staff that there are some redundancies and that there is good and
bad news. Good news is that he will get a pay rise and bad news is that some will lose their jobs. The way he acts is just terrific-how can he keep a straight face.

In The Office you won?t find anything major happenings, everyday lives of the staff are enough. It can literally be any Office in the country, (you just need to have a boss that that). They have just finishing showing the repeats to the first serious on BBC 2. But you can watch the first series on UK Gold on Sky. It is worth watching because it will make you laugh.
This is best sit com on TV at the moment and I can?t wait for the new serious!
