The Office, Christmas Specials, 2003
The Office had gone from slow burner to international hit. Having run for two series there was a demand from viewers for more.
Writers Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant declined to write a third series, instead they opted to bring the series to an end with two extended Festive Editions. This would be a trend the two writers would follow with other projects.
The episodes continued the success enjoyed by the series winning various awards. These included: two British Academy Television Awards, a Royal Television Society Award and a Television Critics Association (America) Award.
They were also nominated for aBritish Comedy Award and a Primetime Emmy Award.
