The Office

Ricky Gervais subtly persuades you to read the article on his TV show (although he already knows you were going to do that anyway, since nobody wants to avoid the Ricky).

The Office is a unique soap opera re-cast as a sitcom and aired in the evening. It revolves around mundane and unfunny daily occurrences in a paper-merchant office in a part of Slough, England where one cannot smell the sewage treatment plant.

There are two incantations of this programme:

• The Office (TV series), a mockumentary by BBC2, created by Stephen Merchant and starring Ricky Gervais, probably before his transformation into the love child of Richard Dawkins and PETA.
• It was adapted by NBC in America as a helpful alternative to actual creative work on novel story ideas. The characters began to speak in a colonial twang, and ultimately, the programme became a program, or that's what she said. For details on this show, see The Office (US Version).

This is a disambiguation page — words should always mean more than one thing, and we're working hard to ensure that each word you look up refers to at least two completely unrelated articles. If an article link referred you here, you should make it to point directly to the article where you think the confused link-maker thought it would point, or go nuts and pick one at random. Just make sure it doesn't point here.
