The Office: The Complete First Series (DVD, 2003, 2-Disc Digi-Pack)

Extremely funny and as the Brits would say, "Spot on!" The dry wit of the British original is something to see and will have you laughing constantly. A bot more sharp and cutting than the American version, the documentary style filming is more realistic and the characters are larger and better acted. There are only six episodes in the first series, but each is fantastic. The length is just under three hours and it is a great way to spend any boring afternoon and it is funny no matter how many times you've seen it.

I think the American copy is also hilarious, but you lose something in the copy. Where the first season of the American version needed to work out the kinks, this is a hit throughout!

Get it and have your friends over for some warm beer and hearty laughs!

The original British series is extremely funny, yet painful to watch. It's a bit more edgy than the American version. The show features a unique brand of humor that may not be suited to most tastes. It's dry, subtle, and very intelligent. Filmed as a documentary, it comes without laugh tracks.

This is the only television show besides Seinfeld that I can watch over and over again. The characters in this series are much more believable than the U.S. version. I think everyone has encountered people like the office workers in this show at one time or another in their own work places. These six episodes feature some of the best comedy writing and acting in television history. Many TV shows require a great many episodes to connect with an audience but The Office sucks you in within the first five minutes.

Very funny show. Even better as the British version! I always thought that the American version would be better, but I was very wrong!

British comedies get away with more and are more realistic. It doesn't get any better than this with Ricky gervais as David Brent as the self absorbed (in denial) office boss.

This first series started a cult following here and in Great Britain and the boards were burning as the Brits gor the second series sooner and the excitement forced US producers to come up with a version suitable for the US.

David, Tim, Gareth and the gang will have you laughing so hard you will have to watch it 3 times to get all the inuendos.

bought for my daughter for Christmas at her request. Happy with the condition of the DVD/cover. Delivery was quick. Very satisfied.

If you are a fan of the American version of The Office starring Steve Carrell, this is a must see. You'll have to brush up on your Slough Slang (or use sub-titles) to catch what they're saying...but once you know you'll be rolling on the floor.

This is the FUNNIEST show ever made (UK version)
The writing of this is on the same level as Shakespeare and Keats.
I have never laughed harder at any television show EVER!
GENIUS.............

This Product was received in timely fashion and was in good condition. Thank you very much. It was a pleasure doing business with you.

Funny but hard to understand. The british accents are very thick. I had heard it is funnier that the US Office but the language barrier is tough.

Like the American version and wanted to see the British version. A lot of the show has the same feel and characteristics of the American version, but in the end I still like the American one. I know that's controversial to say. ha

Great show.
