Product Details
Every episode, plus the two Christmas specials, from the BBC's award-winning,
faux documentary comedy series starring Ricky Gervais as David Brent, the
manager of paper merchant Wernham Hogg's Slough office, who, in his own mind, is
not so much the boss but 'more of a friend'. Unctious and ineffectual in equal
measure, he turns the life of his staff into a neverending round of irritating
mini-dramas. In the first series, David is informed that company downsizing
means that the Slough office might have to close. In a moment of gauche
managerial bravado he promises his staff that there will be no redundacies - a
promise he might not be able to keep... In the second series, the office has
been merged and new staff from the Swindon office arrive to feel the benefit of
David's managerial skills. Tim (Martin Freeman) finds himself going out with new
girl Rachel (Stacey Roca), whilst still in love with Dawn (Lucy Davis). After a
series of mishaps, David is finally told he is to be made redundant - and in the
final episode Tim tells Dawn how he feels.
In the two Christmas specials, first screened in December 2003, three years have
passed since the BBC documentary crew first began filming at Wernham Hogg. When
they return for a final catch-up visit, they find Gareth (Mackenzie Crook) in
the boss's chair. David Brent has become a travelling sales rep for a cleaning
products company, blown his redundancy payout on releasing his own pop single
('If You Don't Know Me By Now'), and taken on a showbiz agent to book him a
string of Z-list celebrity appearances. Despite his successful sueing of Wernham
Hogg for unfair dismissal, Brent pays frequent visits to his old workplace with
his dog in tow, much to the annoyance of boss Neil (Patrick Baladi).
In 'Part 1', Tim is flustered to hear of the imminent arrival of Dawn, who along
with her fiance Lee (Joel Beckett) is being flown back from her new life in
Florida by the documentary crew to attend the office Christmas party.
In 'Part 2', Tim's world is rocked when Dawn turns up at the office to say
hello, but he tries not to get his hopes up, particularly since Lee is
accompanying Dawn to the office party. Meanwhile, David Brent has joined a
dating agency and, in between making his celebrity appearances in nightclubs, he
meets up for drinks with a disappointing selection of single women. However, he
hits the jackpot when he meets his dating-agency date for the office party, a
very attractive and intelligent woman, Carol (Sandy Hendrickse), who seems to
bring out the best in him. Meanwhile, Dawn, who had left the party early with
her insensitive pig of a boyfriend Lee, later returns alone, much to the
surprise and delight of her real soulmate Tim.
