The Call Centre

(This does have spoilers if you have not yet watched.)

Did anyone else watch this?

I only watched on iPlayer after seeing Ricky Gervais tweet about it, I thought it was another "mockumentary" but now I have read some reviews and apparently it is real which I find quite a shock or have I just been duped?

When the blokes were talking about one of the other guys' dance moves it looked like a scene straight out of PhoneShop, and when the boss, Nev said "I don't need thanks" then waited as if he was expecting her to thank him anyway I thought oh they have made him to similar to David Brent, but if this guy is real this looks set to be one of the funniest documentaries ever made.

Sorry for posting in the wrong area mods, I was unaware Welsh would count as foreign comedy (:

I commented exactly the same in another thread. Buggered if I can remember which one it was though.

From the excerpts beforehand I was convinvced it was a comedy.

This is brilliant - exactly what sitcoms like "The Job Lot" should be and aren't. Hugely exaggerated characters, like the boss, girl who was obsessed with tea and the office Lothario who is actually pretty unattractive.

Also a lot funnier with a welsh accent! Excellent TV

It appears to be a genuine documentary. Which is worrying.

I watched it, but I'm still not ensure what my reaction is.

I thought so. I haven't seen it but who needs a real life "The Office"?

I missed it! Only saw the trailers. Can someone confirm if this is a genuine documentary or a mockumentary with actors playing the parts?

It's apparently a genuine documentary, but I would expect somethings are set up purely for our entertainment.

Cynic!

Realist!

Fun sponge!

Who's laughing now?

Why not invest the money in a good new sitcom instead of this "reality" shyte?
