You’re muckin’ about at work, yeah? Whilst gettin’ the job done you’re havin’ a laugh, yeah? Well, according to The Office’s spectacularly ridiculous protagonist (antagonist?) David Brent, that’s precisely the way it should be. If you’re fixin’ to have a go at a quiz based on the original British version of the Office, then you’ve come to the right place.
How much do you know about season one of the show that spawned Michael Scott, Pam Beasley and Jim Halpert? That David Brent is refreshingly laid back for a man of such responsibility. He’s basically a chilled-out entertainer, so…
Take the Quiz: The Office (UK Edition)
Considering I haven’t watched this all the way through in about 2 years, I’ll take my 8/12 and be pretty happy with it.
Good quiz! Nice to see the original (and better, in my opinion) version get some love.

I haven’t been able to find the original version on TV for a while. Does it still run in the US, maybe on BBC? Also love other Brit shows like Ab Fab and Keeping Up Appearances (hence, the Hyacinth moniker).

Since this is from season 1 does that mean we have season 2 and the Christmas special quizzes to look forward to?
