It's time to clock in for Season Two of The Office, the hilarious and witty fly-on-the-wall TV docu-reality starring Steve Carell in his Golden Globe Award-winning role.

From sexual politics to performance reviews and email espionage, the employees at Dunder-Mifflin are there to get the job done...or not. 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 laughable.

Based on Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's award-winning BBC hit 'The Office' delves into the lives of the workers at Dunder-Mifflin Paper Supply Company in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Regional manager Michael Scott is a single, middle-aged man (the boastful tour guide for the documentary).

With unshaken enthusiasm, Michael believes he is the office funnyman, a fountain of business wisdom and his employees' cool friend. He has no clue that his employees tolerate his inappropriate behaviour only because he signs their paychecks.

Painstakingly trying to be liked and look cool, Michael comes off alternately absurd and pathetic. His prize possession is his "World's Greatest Boss" mug which he had to buy for himself.

The Office is a comedy not for everyone...just anyone that works...Season 2 coming to Showcomedy from January 26 Saturday through Wednesday at 9.30pm.
