Heh, those Yanks are easily amused. :D

erm i would change the cast at all, they are funny as they are.

The scene with Keith, Tim and Gareth where Keith advises Tim to get out of the way as he's going to move in on Rachel...and makes a series of moves...classic...that scene is enough to make any woman fall for Keith...blleeuuughhhh :D

Can't stand the Office. That guy played by Ricky Gervais? really gets on my nerves. Maybe that is the point but i can't watch it.

I am of the same opinion or do I just not get it?

The Office is brilliant, absolute genius.

Gareth is sooo cringworthy he's hilarious.

I just can't see how changing the cast would work, but I guess they would suit an american audience and Ricky Gervais is directing some of it i think.

Great show:thumbsup:

I'd have Bill Murray as David Brent :D

American adaptations of British shows seldom work. The Yanks take a sledgehammer approach to most things they do. They did an unbelievably bad US version of Men Behaving Badly and I don't hold out much hope for the American adaptation of The Office.

Personally I rate The Office as the best UK TV comedy show since Alan Partridge.

I've noticed that it's usually women who don't enjoy shows with a high cringe factor like The Office, Alan Partridge etc. Whereas men generally seem to enjoy them more. Why is that, I wonder?

Ive just heard that David Brent is applying for the DG job at the B.B.C:D

Yeah, saw that on Question Time.

...but the DG's job is already taken....

... in Tony Blairs dreams at least.

Nomme

Isnt that terrific

I am very impressed, how did he do it?


(Now is she talking about AC or the man who did the doctoring job? you are wondering.....)

Kilroy is 500-1 for the job. Could be worth a punt....

What a relief that must be for dear Tony, at least now he get on with the job of running the country without that damned BBC sniping at him. What a really brilliant day for democracy.;)

According to Digital Spy (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/article/ds13271.html), David Brent is going to make an appearance in The Simpsons.
