I guess I have to move to England now, because I am duh-hiiiiying to see this retrospective special about the original British Office. Bring it!
Ricky Gervais writes on his blog, “Steve [Merchant] and I recorded a sketch to promote The Office repeats-with-extra-bits show. It’s called A Night At The Office by the way. They’ve done a great job and there’re some really funny interviews with people like Hugh Jackman, Matthew Perry and Ben Stiller, plus the cast back together for the first time. And of course me and Steve talking about it all — ten years after the event in some cases.”
I’m thoroughly devoted to the American version of The Office, but that doesn’t mean I can’t love the original. And this special looks both fascinating and riotously entertaining. Can I get an amen, PopWatchers?
I want to see it. I like the American verison but I love the original.
I’m totally with you. It will be available online (illicitly) within days I’m sure.
But are you saying you haven’t seen the original? It may very well be the perfect 12? hours of television ever created.
Did I mention I’m a Gervais fan?
Really though, you should check out his XFM and early podcast work. Or just google Karl Pilkington.
Best news ever! I can’t wait!
I have never watched the office but I love Ricky Gervais and Steve Carrell. I can’t wait to see this! Thanks for the heads up EW.
Won’t it be available on BBC America?
Gervais and Merchant FTW!!! I love these men. My heroes. I agree with Collin- the XFM shows are the most perfect things recorded. If it weren’t for Gervais and Merchant working at XFM, we wouldn’t have The Office. I hope Gervais sings Freelove Freeway… and of course, does the dance
