The last ten years saw the rise of two love-'em-or-hate-'em formats: fly-on-the-wall (Airline, Club Reps, The Osbournes to name but a few) and the new generation spoof treatment of staid TV formats (The Day Today and Knowing Me, Knowing You with Alan Partridge). It was inevitable that somebody would at some stage try to combine these ... Read the complete review

As the good people of dooyoo who make an effort to read my ops may have found, I have been inactive in the dooyoo world for a few months. I felt I was beginning to write ops for the sake of it. My first spurt on the sight consisted of many ?forced? ops-opinions with a subject matter that I was not really passionate about. I found myself ... Read the complete review

The Office takes everyday life behind a desk...and makes it side-splittingly funny. Ricky Gervais took a terribly mundane concept, and created a brilliantly captivating concept. Nothing much happens in the way of a plot in this series...we follow the lives of normal people working in a paper manufacturing office, in a fly-on-the-wall ... Read the complete review

The office. Quality Comedy or droll boredom? Well, I think it depends on your work experience. Basically, the Office is a comedy programme shown on BBC 2 that poses as a mock "fly on the wall" documentary about office Life. For 30 minutes per episode it shows various humourous goings on in an office, mainly around the ... Read the complete review

The Office is a situation-comedy, in the refreshing guise of fly-on-the-wall parody. But before I strain my vocabulary for words that mean ‘funny’ (I’ll need at least sixteen others to make it through this opinion), allow me to throw out some adjectives you weren’t expect to hear from this genre: Believable. ...

You might think that the television comedy market is already saturated, even with 'mockumertaries' or faked docusoaps. You probably would not have predicted that another one of these would appear, seemingly from nowhere, in autumn last year and blow our minds. But the Office, Ricky Gervaise's new project did just that. ... Read the complete review

I must be one of the many thousands of people or more that just love The Office. When it first came on our screen, it was the by far and still is the best comedy on TV. The first time I watched it I thought it was ?Reality TV? type film where they had camera?s in the office. But, no it was a comedy drama. I have just loved watching ... Read the complete review

If you work in an office you or you have done in the past you have definitely met one of these characters. Sarcastic, sharp and totally in touch with the modern day office. I think it was the same guy that created Black Adder who created the office. The comedy isn't as dark as Black Adder but it is twice as funny. I ... Read the complete review

If you didn’t catch the Office first time around then take a peak at the reruns on Monday nights at ten p.m. BBC2 .So critically acclaimed was the first series that the overly agitated TV critics who are forever moaning abut repeats have actually put a recommended next to this one second time around. Pretty unheard of for a repeat ... Read the complete review

Currently showing on Sky Channel Play UK, Friday nights 9.40. If you work in an office, you will find watching "The Office" very bizarre. It could be a fly on the wall in any office across Britain. The characters are VERY real and very funny. You can spot people from your own work or local pub. The main character in ... Read the complete review

Probably one of the best comedies to have hit the BBC in recent years. The Office is a superb comedy/docu-soap set in the office of a paper merchants in slough. The acting and comedy are equally excellent with everyone clearly playing particular sterotypes. Or showing signs of common personality traits, which can be ... Read the complete review

Ha ha ha - that is the first thing that pops into my mind when I think of this programme! This programme is on BBC2 at 21:30 or 22:00 (can't really remember) on a Monday evening. Ok, I'll first describe to you the programme itself. As the title states, this comedy is set in an office in Slough. It is set in the form ... Read the complete review
