Welcome to The Office, a place of petty rivalry, bad flirting, and easily-bruised egos. Meet David Brent, the worst boss you'll never have. The wince-worthy regional manager thinks he's the funniest bloke around, and territorial yes-man, Gareth Keenan would undoubtedly agree. Self-proclaimed team leader Gareth is constantly bickering with witty nemesis Tim, an apathetic sales rep who wears his boredom on his sleeve. The complete BBC collection includes all twelve episodes plus the special. The Office is filmed in the style of a reality television show, with subtle writing, wonderful acting, and beautifully drawn characters - David Brent (Ricky Gervais), team leader Gareth (Mackenzie Crook); sales rep, Chris Finch (Ralph Ineson); and Tim (Martin Freeman), whose ambition and imagination have been crushed out of him by the banality of ! the life he dreams uselessly of escaping. In series two, David Brent's management qualities and executive capabilities are seriously challenged when the Slough and Swindon branches are merged and his former Swindon equivalent Neil (Patrick Baladi) takes over as area manager.
