The Office - finale

[andy hughes]

Was it fantastic or what! The moment when Dawn walked back into the office - I was busy concentrating on the conversation, and saw her about the time Tim did - it was an amazing moment in television. David has met someone who may bolster his fragile sense of self-worth, and he promptly defended her to Finchy - clasic! I do believe this series has reached closure in the best way possible - your thoughts?

Andy, I thought the scene when Dawn walked back in and Tim saw her and they kissed was brilliant! It's what I was hoping she would do as soon as she opened her Christmas present from him in the taxi! (Yes, I know it's only a television programme - but it was a very good one!)

This was the biggest pile of dross ever committed to brithish television....self indulgent pap that plays safe with slightly awkward office humour....I saw ricky gervais bomb every time he appeared on the eleven o'clock show and prayed that would be the end of him...why can this infantile fool get this type of recognition while the far better Ian Lee wallows in mediority is beyond me...so i suppose the answer is yes...it's fantastic that it's finished, the manner of it's passing matters little to me...let's hope it's creator finds his own back passage and crawls up it for good just as easily.

very nice to see the end of it. the boxing day episode was absolutely dreadful and not worth the time, effort or hype. the second one was better and yes it was nice to see dawn and tim get together after his nice note and present, and it was good to see brent finally have something good happen to him, but all in all it was a great disappointment based on previous episodes.
It was as if they just couldn't be bothered writing really quality scripts as they knew they were the last. In a way it would have been much more in keeping with the spirit of the previous series if they had not had such a twee ending and it made it all finish horribly with brent at the epicentre of the mess.
pleased that there will be no more of it at least as it would have been a shame watching it limp along badly as these two episodes did.

Extremely Fantastic!! Best thing to happen to British comedy for years, far better than the old rubbish we used to watch like morcombe and wise, terrible. Ricky Gervais is a comedy genuis, you should see his stand up DVD Animals - Classic! Also OFAH was good too.

Excellent comedy (of sorts) but i think the creators are right to quit while they are ahead

sft42 - I'm assuming your comments were tongue in cheek? Ian Lee better than Ricky Gervais. Ian Lee doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence. Ricky Gervais is one of the funniest comic talents to emerge of late. Watching the office, knowing full well it is a spoof, and yet still cringing/feeling embarrassed for the characters is just simply first class writing.

who is Ian Lee?! I thought the Office was a brilliant ending to a brilliant series, something that will definately be talked about in years to come, unlike this Ian Lee sft42 is crying about. Unlucky sft42, better luck next time ;-)

Very funny, but last two episodeswere spoiled somewhat by the elevation of the Tim/Dawn thing to the major theme of the show. Also no crude remarks from Finchy! Ending a little bit sentimental for my tastes ("Never give up" etc.) but nonetheless good stuff!

Does anyone remember the name of the song that David Brent covered in the final 'Christmas Special' episode? He does his own music video, very cheesey, I need to know what he covered. Help Please
