About The Book

From the makers of the chart-topping Out of Office podcast.

In 1998, a failed pop star (Ricky Gervais, obviously) and a BBC production course student (Stephen Merchant… it’s a good name), created the short film Seedy Boss as part of the latter’s coursework. Little could they have realised that within just three years the world would be introduced to Wernham Hogg, and The Office, a mockumentary that got worse test audience scores than women’s bowls. Despite that lukewarm initial reception, The Office would go on to win five BAFTAs and two Golden Globes, on its way to becoming the most influential sitcom of modern times.

The cultural legacy of The Office is undimmed by the passage of time, in shows such as This Country and People Just do Nothing, but also in the countless personalities forged by the socially awkward, fame-hungry middle manager David Brent and his staff. It would be no exaggeration to suggest it has permanently altered the way the best of us communicate with each other and the very words we use to express ourselves. In a way.

Now, 25 years later, three of those personalities (aka seedy little men with seedy little jokes) bring you The Office: a good idea FOREVER (a book Finchy would undoubtedly read in a week), your comprehensive guide to The Office from its early inception as Seedy Boss to the conclusion of the Christmas special, perhaps the zenith of British comedy in the golden age of television. Learn that.

This book is your essential critical study of the show, including guides to every episode and interviews with stars of the show (both in front of and behind the camera) courtesy of the Apple Podcast chart-topping “Out of Office” team. To these men, podcasting and writing are not mutually exclusive groups.

You will never read another book about The Office like this again. Is this the definitive text? That’s not for us to say. C’est la vie, if that’s true… excellent.
