This holiday season, in celebration of the 10th Anniversary of the BBC premiere of the original Ricky Gervais comedy sensation, The Office, BBC will release The Office Collection Special Edition featuring the complete, original UK series plus an assortment of new bonus features. The inspiration for the long-running NBC comedy, The Office garnered tremendous critical acclaim when it originally premiered on BBC AMERICA, including being declared the "best comedy on television" by The New York Times and "pretty much the funniest show ever" by Newsweek.
Only twelve episodes and a 2-part Christmas Special were ever made, but its influence on television comedy is unparalleled. New bonus features include the original pilot, six specially recorded episode introductions by co-creators Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, and two BBC specials, Comedy Connections: The Office, and Heroes of Comedy: Ricky Gervais.
Before there were Michael, Jim, Pam and Dwight, the BBC brought us David, Tim, Dawn and Gareth. And now the original program starring Ricky Gervais returns to DVD on November 22nd with The Office - Special 10th Anniversary Edition, a 4-DVD set priced at $39.98 SRP! As the quoted studio description above says, you'll get both 6-episode seasons (or series, as they say across the pond) of the show, plus the Christmas Special (which aired in two parts), and a nice list of extras:
- All New Bonus Features
- Episode Introductions to Series One and Extended Interviews with Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant and Special Guests Matthew Perry, Ben Stiller, Richard Curtis, Hugh Jackman and more!
