(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.
