Office, the

British television comedy series broadcast by the British Broadcasting Corporation (2001–03). A mock documentary on office culture, the series depicts the dreary routine of office life at Wernham Hogg, a paper manufacturer in Slough, an industrial suburb of London, England. Comedian Ricky Gervais (1962– ) was the writer, director, and star.

The series was created by Gervais and his former assistant Stephen Merchant. Gervais's character, regional manager David Brent, is the smug, incompetent, buffoonish boss, and Mackenzie Crook (1971– ) co-stars as the territorial, self-important office manager Gareth Keenan. The series won the 2004 Golden Globe and British Academy Television Awards prizes for best series and best actor (Gervais) in comedy television. The series also achieved some popularity in the USA, and a US version was commissioned by TV network NBC.

Other characters include Martin Freeman as underachieving sales rep Tim Canterbury, Lucy Davis as Martin's love interest receptionist Dawn Tinsley, Ralph Ineson as unrefined traveling sales rep Chris Finch, Patrick Baladi as popular senior manager Neil Godwin, Stirling Gallacher as serious head office boss Jennifer Taylor Clarke, and Ewen MacIntosh as socially-challenged accounts worker Keith Bishop.
