Original Stars To Visit 'The Office'


The British stars of the original The Office show are set to visit the US version of the hit comedy to shoot cameo roles. Ben Silverman, who executive produces the American version of The Office for NBC, claims employees of Slough, England paper company Wernham Hogg could find themselves sharing an office with Scranton, Pennsylvania company Dunder Mifflin. Silverman tells the New York Post newspaper, "There's a lot of love between (the casts and crews) of the two versions of the show. Expect some cameos from the UK paper company." While Silverman refuses to name which stars will be appearing, he does say the show's creator Ricky Gervais, who played cringe-worthy boss David Brent in the UK version, won't be on the US comedy anytime soon. He says, "We're going to save the big man for now."

I haven't seen the US Office. There can't be any way this Dwight trumps Gareth of the territorial army.

The second most annoying thing about this board is people saying something's already been posted in a Bendis made thread.
The first is, of course, that Bendis doesn't read or even check the board for news.

But am I calling attention to Bendis' inability to use the simple search function, or the previous discussion that was already engaged on the exact same topic?

Ricky Gervais & Stephen Merchant are writing an episode for the 3rd season. Even money says that the Martin Freeman et al cameos will be during that episode.

US Office smokes the UK version. I've watched seasons of the UK version and didn't care for them at all.

I find that they are like comparing apples and oranges. I love them both for different reasons.

He doesn't, he's pretty much your basic "wacky & weird" sitcom character.

Yeah, the US version has really come into its own as a separate show. They both started off pretty much the same, but they've grown much differently, so it's hard to compare.
