Ricky Gervais's The Office: the perfect TV comedy?
The fact that The Office being remade in yet another country, for the sixth time and on this occasion in Israel, confirms once more the universality of Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's comic creation. That and the fact that, by now, they must be so stupendously rich that their recent Comic Relief sketch could only have been a tame understatement.
