"The Office Christmas Special."

Nothing special, really.

Had to force myself to like it at times.

Tomorrow's episode better be good.

I liked the happy ending. Dawn and Tim getting together and Brent finding love and finally putting Finch in his place.

Makes me all warm inside.

Now that was the way to end a series.

That was his real life girlfriend/wife wasn't it?

Bought his Animals DVD today...Only £9.99 in Woolies and I had a gift voucher and discount so I couldn't resist.

i really enjoyed how they showed Brents character growing up in the last few minutes (telling Finch off), he was actually quite likeable for the last 5 minutes or so. it's like he was a compulsive tw@, yeah, but it stemmed from insecurities, once someone gave him some confidence in himself then his outlook on things changed and he moved on...
genius.

call me sentimental but i liked how they wrapped it up. the Tim and Dawn ending was cool :)

Incredible last two episodes and a brilliant end to a fantastic run. While the comedy is different to the legendary US-sitcom Friends, it is on just as high a level. Now that we have something to equal that, it makes me proud to be British.

Best part? The ending. Completely satisfying, and some good news for David Brent - a character I never hated, but felt sorry for.

Blind Date on stage = Cringe-genius

Sorry, that was a crap comment really.

Yes, Friends is brilliance (and probably the best sitcom ever), but I completely forgot about all the other incredible British comedy. Fawlty Towers, Monty Python's Flying Circuis, Only Fools & Horses (minus the latest three of course) and more.

Apologies.

Fawlty Towers, Monty Python, Alan Partridge, Peep Show, Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights; all of them dump on Friends from a very great height,

I have seen all of them and I must say none has the consistency that Friends has. To remain hilarious and incredibly watchable after it's ninth series is astounding. I know it's mainstream, and I know it's new, but it's honestly my favourite comedy.

Oh, and peep show? My God that's poor. Yes, it's innovative and it has it's moments now and then but for the most part it's dull and boring.

Friends is very funny...

But so very american.
