The UK version of The Office first aired 25 years ago, catapulting Ricky Gervais to superstardom. To celebrate, we’ve created a 20-question quiz to test even the most dedicated fans.
What Happened?
The show that made Ricky Gervais a household name, The Office, marked its 25th anniversary in July 2026. Before Steve Carell played Michael Scott in the US version, Gervais brought the cringe-worthy David Brent to life in the BBC sitcom. Co-written and directed by Gervais and Stephen Merchant, the series last aired in December 2003.
Show Details and Impact
Shot in a fly-on-the-wall documentary style, The Office followed employees at a fictional paper company. It launched the careers of Martin Freeman and Mackenzie Crook alongside Gervais and Merchant. The show is remembered for classic cringe moments, such as Brent’s infamous dance and motivational quotes like, “Eagles may soar high, but weasels don’t get sucked into jet engines.”
