British [[Mockumentary]] [[Work Com]] (2001-32003) in the style of a fly on the wall, created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant.
 
The main setting is the administrative office of [[Incompetence, Inc.|paper supplies company Wernham Hogg]], presided over by [[Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist]] David Brent. His [[Number Two]], Gareth Keenan, is an unpleasant, pathetic loser with a military obsession. The most sympathetic character is Tim Canterbury, the witty clerk (see [[Tough Room]]) whose relationship with receptionist Dawn Tinsley seems to be an example of [[Star-Crossed Lovers]]. The series was met with great critical acclaim and won several awards, hailed for its original style and subtle, insightful humor.
