"The Office Christmas Special."

Nothing special, really.

Had to force myself to like it at times.

Tomorrow's episode better be good.

It's testament to how well the characters have been written that the funniest bit in the whole thing last night was Brent's music video. No jokes, no obvious stupid behaviour, but it still made me wet myself laughing.

"I bought five."
"Yeah, but they were for your mates."
"They're still in my garage."
[pause]
"Why d...."
[sigh]

You sort of feel sorry for Brent really, selling cleaning products and all to companies

My fav scene, as a lot of you have said is the blind date, well the bit afterwards where David gets the girl's and his own drink thrown at him. There's a silence after and it just makes you cringe. Great programme!

Does anybody know when this is repeated? I forgot to tape it. T'was funny though.

You'll never know

I liked the way it was done, everything was excellent.

" That's just with tap water... "

" Who does your tampons? "

Did I read right, at the very beggining?
Are these 2 episodes really meant to be 3-years-after the original documentary on Wernhamm Hogg??

With the way they all were towards them, it was like he'd been going back every-single day... I even found it annoying to seem him back there, so-much!

Everything else, though, was great.


Good to see some things never change - like Tim and the jokes he STILL plays on Gareth; even though he IS "higher-up" than Tim (for once!). :)


I'm glad there will be no third-series, though. I really don't see how they could make it work as-well without milking the series, now Brent's been fired. All we really wanted to see after series 2 was where `Brent is now´, and - only briefly - what it's like in The Office, with Gareth in-charge.

Without David Brent, it just wouldn't be the same. And having him stop-by - every-5-minutes - would only make things worse, for an all-new series.

Yeah. The way they said it in the show was also a big hint.

;)

it was ok

2 things about that scene;
1. It was genius.
2. I was watching it with my granddad

Another thing, the bit where he's wagging around the vegtables in the store place?

Granddad was there to.

*shudders*

Well, Series 1 was, what, 2 and a half years ago?
