More like this. Watch options. Storyline Edit. A mockumentary about life in a mid-sized suboffice paper merchants in a bleak British industrial town, where manager David Brent thinks he's the coolest, funniest, and most popular boss ever.

He isn't. That doesn't stop him from embarrassing himself in front of the cameras on a regular basis, whether from his political sermonizing, his stand-up 'comedy', or his incredibly unique dancing.

Meanwhile, long-suffering Tim longs after Dawn the engaged receptionist and keeps himself sane by playing childish practical jokes on his insufferable, army-obsessed deskmate Gareth. Will the Slough office be closed? Will the BBC give David a game show? Will Tim and Dawn end up with each other? And more importantly, will Gareth realize what a hopeless prat he is?

The brilliant new comedy on BBC America. Did you know Edit. He came up with the idea for making a documentary style format as it would be easier for him to film. He and his colleague Ricky Gervais came up with The Office idea and used a local University to film it.

Upon seeing the short video the BBC requested that they make a series out of it. Many of the jokes from this original film are recycled during the proper series for example, David Brent's opening speech about making employees' dreams come true.

Quotes Tim : The people you work with are people you were just thrown together with. User reviews Review. Top review. The most funny, truthful and profound TV series for many a long year. A TV crew move in to the Slough offices of paper wholesalers Vernom-Hogg to focus on how the ordinary British work place responds to change and business upheaval. What a surprise this series was when it first came on the TV. Given that it was on BBC2 and not given much promotion you didn't expect much, but boy is this series good.

Not only is there moments of absolute comic genius, but it is also very profound. Stand assured I have met all the characters on this show in real life - I have even worked alongside a few of them! It is impossible to know what foreigners make of lead and star turn Ricky Gervais playing boss David Brent.

Although he thinks himself an incredible, funny, and musically talented boss, he is cruel, obnoxious, and snide to everyone. Even when he strives to be politically correct, his behavior only becomes even more offensive. It is unclear how he achieved or manages to maintain his position, as he seems to have little understanding of Wernham-Hogg's inner workings.

Driven by a need to always be the center of attention, he tells unfunny jokes to the camera crew. This may be to avoid the fact that has hardly any social life; at one point Dawn Tinsley calls him "a sad little man. In the series two finale, he is fired, causing him to melt down and start an unsuccessful music career. He finally finds love in the "Christmas Special.

Gareth Keenan is Tim's deskmate and nemesis for most of the show. He is boring, shamelessly lacking in a sense of humor, and has few if any redeeming qualities. He takes considerable pride in being "Team Leader" or "Assistant Regional Manager," refusing to realize that the position is just a title and constantly trying to throw his weight around, to no effect. Tim and Dawn amuse themselves by winding an oblivious Gareth up, frequently playing on his alleged service in the Territorial Army. He sucks up to David Brent throughout the series; however, this gets him nowhere as David treats Gareth, for the most part, like a dog.

When David is fired in the series two finale and Gareth is chosen to replace him, Gareth humiliates and tortures David in retaliation for his years of mistreatment. Tim Canterbury is a funny, unpretentious sales representative at Wernham-Hogg. He is witty, outgoing and friendly, the polar opposite of his boss, David.

He frequently voices dissatisfaction with his life; he still lives with his parents at 30, and he hates his job. He stays at the company because of Dawn Tinsley, whom he loves. Dawn and Tim are good friends, especially in their shared love of playing pranks on Gareth. While Dawn is engaged to Lee, Tim starts going out with Rachel, although he doesn't really love her, and breaks up with her to get with Dawn; however, he is turned down.

He is insecure, and thus doesn't go back to college to study psychology; when offered David Brent's position in the series two finale, he turns it down and gives it to Gareth. He attempts to ask Dawn out several times during the show, striking out each time. Once installed, select the location of your home country and simply click connect.
