Series Two of the Golden Globe-winning comedy from Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant.
Swindon have merged with Slough. Manager David Brent has to assimilate the new intake, a group of well-trained and motivated personnel. It should be an easy job. Sadly, someone forgot to tell them that they're meant to laugh at everything David says.
Neil, the new guy in charge, is Brent's worst nightmare: younger, better-looking, multi-skilled - and here's the killer - more popular.
Meanwhile, unlucky in love Tim finds his fortunes changing, we discover there's more to demure Dawn than first meets the eye... and even less to Gareth.

A colleague's birthday provides a welcome distraction for the employees of Wernham Hogg and leads to a series of practical jokes at the expense of David and Gareth.

David's preparations for his first motivational training seminar that evening don't get off to the perfect start when he first discovers the staff's new nicknames for him that are doing the rounds and then receives another reprimand from Neil for neglecting his duties.

5. Charity (10/28/02)
It's Comic Relief Day and the staff of Werhnam Hogg all do their bit to raise money including Dawn, whose 'kisses for £1' stand finally provides Tim with the opportunity he's been waiting for.

However, when David is told that his services as a motivational speaker are also no longer required he sinks to his lowest ebb and begs Neil to reconsider the dismissal. But is it too late? |
