The Office UK S1E1 - Downsize
Back To The Office
04/05/21 • 69 min
Welcome to the first episode in our new podcast series reviewing The Office UK. Chris and Dave loved talking about this amazing show when it first arrived on UK TV. It was the thing that brought them together as friends whilst travelling up and down the UK in their band Whatever. We have some stories from the guys about working in offices themselves as well as dissecting each episode.
"Downsize"
A documentary crew films the activities of the Slough branch of paper merchant Wernham Hogg. The regional manager is David Brent, a 39-year-old man who arrogantly thinks he is likeable and entertaining. Among his employees are Dawn Tinsley, his receptionist; Tim Canterbury, a sales representative; and Gareth Keenan, his sycophantic assistant. David's boss Jennifer Taylor-Clarke tells him that Wernham Hogg cannot run both Slough and Swindon branches, and that the more efficient will incorporate the other. David panics at the prospect of his branch being closed and his employees made redundant, but promises to keep it secret; rumours spread around the office. David hires a new forklift driver and shows new temp Ricky Howard around the office. Tim annoys Gareth by putting his stapler inside a jelly, and later dropping it out of a window. After being confronted about redundancies, David holds a meeting and explains the situation; employees are immediately worried for their jobs. David pretends Dawn is being fired for stealing Post-it Notes, but his joke backfires when she starts crying.

Synopsis:
About 13 years after his appearance in the documentary series The Office, a documentary film crew is once again following the life of David Brent. He now works as a rep for a cleaning goods distributor, but he still harbors dreams of making it big in the music business. Acting on this, he takes three weeks off work and tours with a new-look version of Foregone Conclusion, the band he was part of in the 1990s--he's the only remaining original member, for various reasons.

Time to see out the last of the second series and Brent has had his marching orders!.
Interview
It's David last day and he is outwardly very calm about it all. The company has sent a writer to interview him for an article on leadership and his idea is to dictate the contents rather than answer any of her questions. He thinks he has a bright future as a trainer but gets bad news on that front as well. He tries to reverse Neil's decision but to no avail. Tim decides it's time to have a chat with Dawn. Gareth is convinced that he's in line to replace David.
