Summary
Ricky Gervais stars as David Brent, middle manager of the Wernham Hogg Paper Company, in this multiple BAFTA, Emmy and Golden Globe award winning comedy sensation which inspired the NBC series of the same name. The Office is a scathing satire of corporate life - full of backfiring practical jokes, failed flirting and all around bad behavior. Also starring Martin Freeman (The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy) and Lucy Davis (Shaun of the Dead), this mockumentary series is one of the most renowned comedies of all time.
