Original Office bosses Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant were so impressed by this run of the US incarnation, they penned an episode for season three. (They weren’t alone: JJ Abrams, Joss Whedon and Harold Ramis also added their expertise.) Once you get past the Dawn/Pam, Tim/Jim, Gareth/Dwight and David Brent/Michael Scott remodelling, you’ll share their adoration. Standout eps include Michael (Steve Carell, in tragi-comic mode) burning his foot (his foot!) on a George Foreman grill, he and Dwight (Rainn Wilson) fighting at the local dojo and the team enacting an action-movie script that Michael’s scribbled on the sly.
