The Office ‘Christmas Special’ on TVB Pearl

TVB Pearl are showing “The Office” Christmas Special just after midnight on Friday, but of course, no details are available on the TVB website or in the Sunday paper. What’s that all about, then?

As it happens, I recently managed to watch it on a plane, and I have no doubt that I’ll buy it when it comes out on DVD, so it doesn’t matter all that much, but I’m slightly baffled. You might think that TVB could manage even a tiny big of publicity for it, but it seems not (or at least it hasn’t got through to me). Mind you, I think that they showed the first half of the last ever episode of Friends on Sunday without any fanfare at all. What a bunch of clowns!!

Incidentally, Star World now has an excellent double bill of British comedy on Saturday nights – Coupling followed by The Office.

    The Office (second series, I think) is also being shown on Star on Saturday evenings at the moment.

    Yes, as part of an excellent double bill of British comedy with ‘Coupling’. I feel a strange sense of deja vu coming on. Or have I said that already?

    I believe it is part of a double bill with another British show – “Coupling”.

    I only got to watch the first half of the Xmas special on the plane, so I can’t wait to watch the second half (even though I read some spoiler on the web).
    I also got the 4th season of Coupling on DVD but there’s no Jeff in it unfortunately and the new character Oliver is not that great.
