The Office is a British television comedy that was first broadcast in the UK on BBC Two on 9 July 2001.
Created, written, and directed by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, the programme is about day-to-day lives of office employees in the Slough, Berkshire branch of the fictitious Wernham Hogg Paper Company. Gervais also starred in it, playing the central character. Although fictional and scripted, the programme takes the form of a documentary (a fictional documentary, i.e. a mockumentary), with the presence of the camera often acknowledged.
The show shares themes with a later social satire created by Gervais and Merchant, Extras, namely social clumsiness, the trivialities of human behaviour, self-importance and conceit, frustration and desperation and fame. Additionally, Series 2 of Extras features a workplace comedy ("When the Whistle Blows") created by the Gervais character that broadcasts on BBC2 and ends with a Christmas special, as did "The Office."
