The Office

Employees at Slough paper merchants Wernham Hogg receive the reality TV treatment and middle manager David Brent can't believe his luck – at long last the chance to show the world how cool he is. Except he isn't cool. He's a slimy, immature, unprofessional, pretentious tubby bloke with a blind spot the size of the Western Hemisphere. We might meet a David Brent at some point in life. Just like we might meet a Gareth Keenan. More wistfully, many of us deliberate another roll of the dice like Tim Canterbury and regard someone such as Dawn Tinsley a ray of sunshine.
