The Office Edit

(2001-2003, United Kingdom)   |   |   | 

( fr ) The Office is a Golden Globe Award and Bafta Award-winning British television comedy that first aired in the UK on BBC Two on 9 July 2001. Created, written and directed by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, the program is about the day-to-day lives of office employees in the Slough, Berkshire branch of the fictitious Wernham-Hogg Paper Company. Although fictional and scripted, the program takes the form of a documentary (a fictional documentary, i.e. a mockumentary), with the presence of the camera often acknowledged. After the show's critical success an American version was launched an entire four years after the original, premiering on NBC on 24 March 2005.
