The Office (2001–2003) watch online

The Office is a British mockumentary television sitcom first broadcast in the United Kingdom on BBC Two on 9 July 2001. Created, written, and directed by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, it follows the day-to-day lives of office employees in the Slough branch of the fictional Wernham Hogg paper company. Gervais also starred in the series as the central character, David Brent.

When it first aired on BBC Two, ratings were relatively low, but it has since become one of the most successful British comedy exports. As well as being aired internationally on BBC Worldwide and channels such as BBC Prime, BBC America, and BBC Canada, it has been sold to broadcasters in over 80 countries, including ABC1 in Australia, The Comedy Network in Canada, TVNZ in New Zealand, and the pan-Asian satellite channel Star World, based in Hong Kong. It was aired in the United States on BBC America from 2001 to 2016, and later on Cartoon Network's late night programming block Adult Swim from 2009 to 2011.

Two six-episode series were made, followed by a two-part Christmas special. The series centres around themes of social clumsiness, the trivialities of human behaviour, self-importance, conceit, frustration, desperation, and fame. The Office is considered to be one of the best television series of the 21st century and of all time.
