TV on DVD: A decade of 'The Office'

THE OFFICE: 10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION

SERIES Faux pas, discomfort and humiliation have never been so hilarious as in Ricky Gervais' career-making mock-docusoap of workaday life selling paper under a gauche "seedy boss." The UK original, complete here in its two six-episode "series" and movie-length Christmas finale, is brilliantly awkward and real, uproarious and poignant.

EXTRAS New "extra bits" include rich contextual Series 1 intros by Gervais and co-creator Stephen Merchant (with cast members and admirers like Ben Stiller, Christopher Guest), plus rough first pilot with narration, "Comedy Connections" show history. Existing treats include retrospective half-hour "Closed for Business," funny 40-minute "How I Made The Office," commentary, lots more.

LIST PRICE $40 for 4 discs, out today from BBC.
