It's time to clock off and clock into The Office: Season Two - the US spin-off of the hit UK version that has now become a comedy hit in it’s own right. Reaching it’s 4th season stateside and racking up and incredible 3 Emmy’s ®, 1 Golden Globe ®, 1 Screen Actors Guild Award & 2 Writers Guild Of America Awards,. The hilarious and witty TV-mockumentary stars Steve Carell (The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Evan Almighty). in this, his Golden Globe Award-winning role. Witness the cringe worthy comical behaviour of the employees in this ‘fly-on-the-wall’ series which delves into the lives of the workers at Dunder Mifflin paper supply company in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The Office: Season Two is available to own on DVD from Monday 28th January from Universal Pictures UKPlayback.

Since its premiere in the US in March 2005, The Office has established itself as a genuine hit, earning many prestigious television honours, including three Emmy’s, one Golden Globe, one Screen Actors Guild Award and two Writers Guild of America awards.

The second season builds on this foundation, with each episode displaying moments of subtlety, awkwardness, and vulgarity. Sexual politics, performance reviews and email espionage are all explored, while the workers at Dunder-Mifflin are trying to get the job done. Join earnest but clueless boss Michael Scott (Carell), assistant to the regional manager Dwight (Rainn Wilson), receptionist Pam (Jenna Fischer), sales rep Jim (John Krasinski), and the office temp, Ryan (B.J. Novak), as they make the daily grind a lot more entertaining.

Fully staffed with 22 outrageous episodes which include Christmas Party, Take Your Daughter to Work Day and Drug Testing where a joint is found in the parking lot; Season Two’s humour brilliantly parody’s the foolishness that plagues the 9-to-5 working world.

With hours of side-splitting bonus features, The Office: Season Two delivers one huge laugh after another. A hysterical comedy with terrific characters and touching sentiment, this series makes going to work a lot more bearable.

The Office: Season Two is out to own on DVD from Universal Pictures UKPlayback on Monday 28th January 2008.
