    Brilliant isn't it?!

    The reviews tonight say it's the best yet. We've been watching series 1 on DVD ... superb.

    Francois, it's a sit com based on everyday life in an office. But it's the whole way the program is made that's brilliant. It's very English, very dry, some mundane, some ironic. Something we can all relate to filmed documentary style with no canned laughter etc. Appears off the cuff.

    Fantastic.

    The first time I watched it, I thought it was a fly on the wall documentary like 'airport'. It got funnier and funnier as it went on until I realised it was actually a comedy.

    Some of it is so cringingly embarrassing that it really makes you squirm.

    It gets my seal of approval - after working in an office of a similar texture & design, I appreciate the subtle relationships and attitudes.

    Very cool indeed and very scary ... glad I'm outta the office !

    I have just cut around my face and pasted it onto that picture above and sent it into their brent-alike competition. I don't look anything like him but did it for a laugh. I'm also drunk and half asleep in the picture. If it gets on the site I'll post a link.
