Was The Office A Documentary?

The Office.

No, not the American rubbish, the original British classic.

God, what a show … hysterical, cringeworthy and with something that anyone who has ever worked in an office, would relate to.

Then there was David Brent.

Good natured but utterly delusional.

A terrible manager who thinks he’s a brilliant manager.

While there were elements of his character that I am sure viewers recognised in their bosses, you would never imagine one real-lif person could
contain all those traits.

Well, that’s what I thought as well until I watched this old video of English cricketer, Ian Botham.

It’s 16 minutes long … but if you need an added incentive to watch it, here’s one of the amazing quotes Mr Botham says to a TV audience of students.

“People don’t realise there are more deer in this country now than there were in days of Henry VIII. Fact.”

Sit back. Enjoy. Cringe.
