Editorial Reviews
In celebration of the 10th Anniversary of the BBC premiere of the original Ricky Gervais comedy sensation, The Office, BBC releases The Office Collection Special Edition featuring the complete, original UK series plus an assortment of new bonus features. The inspiration for the long-running NBC comedy, The Office garnered tremendous critical acclaim when it originally premiered on BBC AMERICA, including being declared the best comedy on television by The New York Times and pretty much the funniest show ever by Newsweek. Only twelve episodes and a 2-part Christmas Special were ever made, but its influence on television comedy is unparalleled. New bonus features include the original pilot, six specially recorded episode introductions by co-creators Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, and two BBC specials, Comedy Connections: The Office, and Heroes of Comedy: Ricky Gervais.

First of all, far too few episodes!
This show mastered the "let's see how long an uncomfortable moment be funny" department. I can't really tell you my very fave moment from the whole thing...there were so many. Like when David does his...uh "dance" in an effort to upstage Neil's SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER tribute. See, I can't even get started.
Of all of my American friends who are fans of the US version, only a very few have seen the UK version. It's a shame.
BUT, at the end of the day, this is a classic and is def in my top 5 fave comedy shows!

Wouldn't say it's better or worse than the US version, just hilarious on it's own merits. Disc labeling was a bit weird--if I remember right, disc 4 had the Xmas special as opposed to disc 2 or 3. I forget how it works, just didn't make sense when I actually watched through.

I was looking for the BBC version of The Office (the original). I had a difficult time locating it in any of the local stores. I found it in less than a couple of minutes on Amazon. My son was really surprized and pleased with the gift.
