RUSSIAN VERSION![edit]

'Russia gets own ‘Office’

By Brian Bento

‘The Office’ opens a branch in Russia Russia is the next country to get its own version of The Office, reports Variety.

BBC Worldwide has signed a deal with Channel One, which will produce 24 episodes of the Russian version of the comedy.

“Russia is an important territory for us,” said Ben Donald, BBC Worldwide’s head of sales for the country. “We’ve had much success with other formats, such as Dancing With the Stars, Junior Mastermind and most recently Great Russians.”

The Office, created by Stephen Merchant and Ricky Gervais (who also starred in the original version) first aired in the U.K. in 2001 and has since been shown in more than 70 countries and has several localized versions.

“It's very excisdfjh and very flattering,” posted Gervais on his blog after the announcement of the Russian version. “I can't believe how things have gone.”

And there’s more good news for Gervais – Steve Carell has signed on to play U.S. Office boss Michael Scott for three more seasons.

Though he hit it big it Hollywood with films like Evan Almighty and Get Smart, it’s nice to see Carell still willing to stick around in the show that helped his career. Not to mention the steady paycheque.'

Cleanup[edit]

Hi all, this article was added to our task list over at the Wikipedia:Cleanup Taskforce, for general copyediting and perhaps cleaning up some of the inside jokes that don't necessarily make sense in the context of an encyclopedia article, which should be understandable to casual readers unfamiliar with the show. I'm sure I'll make some missteps so feel free to point them out; I assure you they weren't malicious! Thanks. · Katefan0^(scribble) 17:02, May 2, 2005 (UTC)

Think I'm all done. · Katefan0^(scribble) 22:19, May 3, 2005 (UTC)

Point of Interest and Improvised Sitcoms[edit]

In the improv sitcoms article this was listed. It has a script people! Thought I should point that out. Also, points of interest should really just be under trivia. It's trivia and POI is a bit too subjective. Thanx — ChocolateRoses ^talk
