When the product arrived I was very happy. The quality of the actual box is great and looks really smart. Then when I started to play the first episode I hit the major fault. I clicked play and the first thing that appears is Steven Merchant and Ricky Jervais. I thought that it seemed reasonable for them to do a small introduction as its the anniversary edition but for some reason it was actually all of the extra content. Each episode contains the extra content at the beginning of the episode so you either watch it and ruin the episode or skip the chapter and have to come back to it afterwards which is a bit of a fuss.
However, once the annoyance of Ricky Jervais' face popping up at the beginning of every episode wears of you start to appreciate the excellent humour they have created and a truly excellent couple of series. So, my advice would be, unless you want to listen to Ricky Jervais talking about himself, choose a bog standard version.

The hugely popular US Office series is funny, granted. But the UK version is in an office of its own. Not only does Gervais give a very funny, if totally awkward performance, but Freeman is the most outstanding of them all. I think, (correct me if I'm wrong,) this was his first big break, and he certainly hit the ground running. It is commonly thought that The Office is simply funny, but in my experience of the UK Office, there is huge passion throughout. There is love, loss, realism and a strange development of character. The character of David Brent is an interesting one- Gervais pulls him off incredibly well. And the psychological breakdown of Brent is one of the most sad and moving things I have seen on screen.
This is the most worthwhile thing I have ever seen- funny, awkward, realistic yet sad and emotive. I would not recommend this to the lighthearted slapstick comedy lover of something like "The US Office."
A MUST BUY.

Yes theres some new stuff on this release, more talk about how great the series is and how it was made BUT most importantly the excellent/fascinating internal pilots here, great stuff. Sadly though the full follow up pilot ISNT on this set, has never been released but we see the odd clip (should have been in the set for it to be considered complete) and also despite Amazons entry for it saying the 2 Microsoft training vids featuring Brent are included there is no mention if them on the packaging and Ive not found them anyplace, so unless they are well hidden easter eggs they too are absent. In short, without the second pilot / microsoft training vids this set is a bit of a let down for fans, still worth getting for internal pre-pilot though.

Brilliant - if you don't own it, or haven't seen it, it's pure class.
And the introductions by Ricky and Stephen are cool.

A classic of television comedy, in a satisfying box set..
Let me start by saying that I have never owned any previous Office dvd releases, and I hadn't watched the show for a good few years before I got this set. Read more

They have ruined it!
You cannot watch an episode without having to trawl through a load of boring talking heads first - and then another one at the end. Nauseating.

Ignore the nitpicking - this is a great box set!

No MS training videos and no pilot. Pre-pilot is fine BUT where's the transmitted pilot? I guess that is being saved for another money-making Gervais 'special'. Read more
