NHPTV Airs "The Office" and "Monty Python"

(DURHAM, February 14, 2006) —Over-bearing and belittling bosses, irritating colleagues, dead-end jobs, Spam, dead parrots, and upper class twits…’allo blokes and birds; there’s some bloody good comedy on New Hampshire Public Television this month!The award-winning, attention-grabbing BBC series THE OFFICE, revealing 9 to 5 working life at its grimmest, airs Tuesdays @ 10 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. on NHPTV. The quirky "mockumentary" stars Rick Gervais as David Brent, arguably the world’s worst boss. Brent, a middle-ranking manager, brings out the worst in the workplace: backfiring practical jokes, petty rivalry, failed flirting and dubious work ethics. The result is a laugh-out-loud comedy that’s grabbing rave reviews from viewers and critics alike.THE OFFICE joins NHPTV’s Tuesday night line-up of British comedy, including Are You Being Served @ 8 p.m., Keeping Up Appearances @ 8:30 p.m., As Time Goes By @ 9 p.m., and To The Manor Born @ 9:30 p.m.
