I haven't seen this in years and since I'm re-studying the mockumentary style there's few finer examples. This series has inspired me to no end, and I believe it's the awkward humour and the way it tickles the heart that's absolutely seeped into my own style. There's something so admirable about the way that the British do their series, short and sweet, and never any waste. It's surprising to think that this is over a decade old now, or around that. I love the honest and simple closure that this gave the world and the characters we'd grown to love. David Brent doesn't ride off into the sunset, but we see he's grown a backbone and making choices he never would have made at the beginning of the series. It's simple and so effective. If you haven't watch this, the original version of The Office, I don't want to ruin anything for you. There's much debate over Jim and Pam Vs. Tim and Dawn - and while I love them both, it's hard to beat the original.
Please, if you've never see it, get on it. There's only 14 episode of the entire series - it's a crime not to give it that 7hrs of your life, even this many years later. Pretty please, with sugar on top, watch this!
