The Office
Created by Stephen Merchant, Ricky Gervais
On BBC Two
A sharp, mockumentary-style dark comedy that finds cringe and pathos in the mundane desperation of office life and a delusional middle manager.
Nightmare boss. Tedious colleagues. Pointless tasks. Welcome to Wernham Hogg. Fancy a tea break with David Brent? Classic comedy from the archive.
