I missed it. How was it?

Does anyone know if it's going to be repeated on BBC America? Will it be released with the Christmas specials later this year?

Any help on helping me see this would be great.

Thanks

No trees were killed in the sending of this message. However, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

The Office is a sitcom from England. If you have never seen it, I highly recommend it. It is a hilarious comedy - after I saw one episode I ran out and bought the DVD because it is that good.

I have seen all the episodes when they were first shown here in the UK... if it is one of these 'UK' specials and not something new, I am sure it will be well worth the wait. An amazing program!

Only problem is that when I watch it, David Brent *is* my old boss, and horrific memories are brought to the surface...

I doubt there would be any seeders any more - but there are torrents:

There is a new DVD coming out this Christmas - Prolly including the Christmas special.

The special that is being shown at the moment on BBC America is the Christmas special from last year. (Dawn had moved to Florida)

it's in two parts - It seems to be shown on BBC America on 21st , 23rd & 24th. Not sure how that works.

I heard yesterday on the radio that they are releasing the box set of all 12 episodes this month or next. I haven't seen them yet, but friends tell me it is hilarious.

Oh, ok. I have seen this via the Internet.

This is only new for American viewers. I was under the impression it was a new episode.

I was concerned about how they were going to expand on it.

Thanks anyway.

Yeah, what is the deal with a new box set?

I had heard about it. And then a friend of mine had me over one night
and we watched part of the first season on DVD--she has the first two
season's, I believe--and I was hooked. Unfortunately I don't have a TV.
But I do have a DVD player.
One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.
