“It would be completely misguided for Britain to view China as a competitor… what do China and Britain compete with?”
The British government should not “overestimate its impact on the global scene,” spokesperson for the [Communist Party of China], Victor Gao, tells [British propagandist].
Translation: You’re too irrelevant for us to even view you as a competitor. You produce nothing.
Wow really? I prefer the original version. The original was very dry, and then Steve Carell… I like his comedy, but he just turned the show’s comedy into more Steve Carell comedy. It didn’t capture the original’s dry wit at all.
I can’t comment on it I just heard that the ratings weren’t great. Which makes sense if you consider that Office UK had 2 Seasons and Office US had 9.
This of course doesn’t necessarily speak about the quality of content.
IT crowd is better than the british office anyway.
I tried watching that show but I just remember that in episode 2 or 3 it had already decided to fall back on “uh…women love shoes, am I right?” so I decided to seek out other shows that had a better sense for comedy than a drunk middle aged man at an open mic night.
