British 'Office' cast won't appear on American version after all

by Anna Johns, posted Sep 1st 2006 11:06AM

the office british castDamn! In his post-Emmy Q&A, TV Guide's Ausiello dashes all hopes of an American-British face-off of The Office casts. He says Ricky Gervais told him that rumors are false of the British cast appearing on the American version of The Office this season. Boo! I wanted to see Tim and Dawn revived... and a face-to-face with Gareth and Dwight would be priceless. Of course, it would also mean the show totally jumped the shark so (secretly) I'm a little glad it's not happening.

Gervais also told Ausiello that he's writing an episode for this season of The Office in which Michael tries to be PC, while Jim and Dawn mess with Dwight. Um. Yeah. That's what happens in every episode. I guess that's Gervais' way of not telling what's happening this season.

I think you mean Pam, and not Dawn, in your last paragraph. :)

Darn, I think it would've been funny...but I don't think half the audience would even understand it and they'd wonder why some English people are on the show now.

Really don't know why the office doesn't get more people's attention. It's a funny show and I guess it would be even funnier with some British accents.
