Office, The (BBC)
The Office is a BBC sitcom that first aired in the UK in 2001. The series was written and created by Ricky Gervais and regular collaborator Stephen Merchant. Gervais stars in the series as David Brent, office manager of a paper company in the city of Slough.
Shot in a style that suggests a documentary is being made about the office and the people who work there, the series immediately stood out as a fresh approach to making a television sitcom. As such, successful and very similar versions of The Office have since been made in the United States, Germany, France, Brazil, and Canada
Ricky Gervais decided to move on to other projects after two series of The Office, citing a desire to quit before the format become stale. As such, the quality of the show remained high throughout its run, making The Office a modern day classic of British television comedy.
Gervais went on to create another BBC sitcom, Extras, in conjunction with HBO. He has more recently appeared in Hollywood films, including Ghost Town and the upcoming This Side of the Truth.
