Fawlty towers was the best and funnily enough only 2 series were made of that as well. Sometimes it’s better not to keep going with something so fantastically unique in comedy because it can become stale and a caricature of itself. A lot of the best comedies didn’t have long runs with the exception being only fools and horses , but even that I’d say the earlier episodes were much better.

Agreed. His character is perfect. He plays that go getter persona who never seems to reach his goals. He self sabotages in order to fit in. He is meek, easily manipulated, so desperate for respect. Yet has this border line personality disorder where he grows on us. Dwight was an aggressive person who would tread on his mother for more respect. Garreth wouldn't do that. Deep down Garreth has a big heart. English comedy is so much better than U.S comedies that use slap stick predictable punch lines. English humour is well thought out & the skilful art of comedy during the silence between the lines. For some reason Americans can't find the humour & they have to present it in varying ways. The token black guy, the gay person, more romance, quarrels, someone to hate , the dumb guy & the over the top fool

It's strange looking at the foreign versions of The Office, because, to me, the real genius of the original British version of The Office was its understated 'realness' and the downplaying of the over-the-top trying-to-make-you-laugh type of comedy acting that normally takes place in TV comedy shows. It seems like most of the other versions missed this vital point (including the American version).

I think an underrated piece of this amazing creation, The Office, (which as Stiller said basically gave American TV life for another 15 years and a new way of being funny) is how good Ricky and Stephen are as a duo, almost cartoonishly perfect together, that of course anything they make together will be hysterically funny, even if it's just a conversation. I hope that dynamic doesn't go unnoticed in history as it deserves to be nominated for proverbial Lennon/McCartney award

The Office was so special that German Television made their own version of it; in a similar style, but with other characters. The German `office´ wasn´t called `Büro´, but was named `Stromberg´ after the main character: Bernd Stromberg, a dastardly character who always gets his comeuppance, often falls flat on his face as a kind of higher justice; and in the end, he loses his job. I have watched most of the episodes and am a fan. watching both the English original and the German counterpart bought home to me, yet again, how far German humour has improved over the decades, but also how true Gervaises conviction is, that people are basically the same everywhere

There's no dispute about which version is best. It's like saying a cover band is better than the band they're covering, it's an almost impossible concept. The Americans are way more slapstick and less subtle but I thought the first few seasons of the remake was well acted and funny. Then you just have to stop, it becomes absolutely a mess and you can tell they had no idea where to go with it. It's like remaking faulty towers and making 120 episodes ... Why oh why?

Seeing it mean so much to the Actors is amazing, especially Mr Keenan, must have been hard leaving the TA's going into pirates of the Caribbean.

29:23. When Karl talks about only enjoying things in hindsight, Ricky and Steve rip into him. Martin says it here, and it makes sense. (Mind you Karl was on about a packet of Munchies).

This show is a masterpiece of comedy. I don't think there will ever be another one like it.
