SERIES 2 - First broadcast 2002
|
 |
Episode One
Two weeks after the announcement that Slough has been saved
from the chop it is merger day and six new employees arrive
from Swindon along with Neil (who becomes David's dynamic
new boss). Unfortunately for David, the Swindon contingent
contains Oliver (a black guy) and wheelchair user Brenda -
problematic for a man with a terminally indelicate sense of
humour. It's therefore not a surprise David finds himself
in front of Jennifer Taylor Clark for exploring the outer
reaches of bad taste in record time.

Episode Two
Staff appraisals cue secret confessions - Tim still harbours
dreams of returning to university to study Psychology, while
Dawn reveals she always wanted to be a children's illustrator.
Keith on the other hand reveals only the immense vacuity of
his mind.
Meanwhile David is getting the feeling that he is not terribly
popular with the new employees.

Episode Three
It's Trudy's birthday and in traditional highbrow office
style she receives some sex toys, meanwhile David's radical
new made-up business strategy of "team individuality"
fails to impress Neil.
However David receives an ego boost worth £1200 an
hour when headhunters from the public speaking agency Cooper
and Webb lose their minds and think he'd be a good motivational
speaker.

Episode Four
Tim and Rachel finally appear to have 'done the deed' and
are confronted by a horrified Gareth, who is perhaps most
upset by the realisation that he'd still like to 'do' Rachel
even though she is now, as he so charmingly puts it, sloppy
seconds.
However Gareth finds comfort in the company of Simon the
computer geek who is installing a firewall.

Episode Five
It's Comic Relief Day in this legendary episode and the office
is awash with wackiness. All 19 stone of Keith is squeezed
into a bright yellow Ali G costume, Sheila has become Wonder
Woman and Gareth is hopping on one leg.
The hilarity climaxes when Neil and Rachel stage a truly
impressive dance sequence from Saturday Night Fever in the
reception area. David, desperate to outdo them, embarks on
his own spontaneous dance resulting in the now famous and
classic sequence.

Episode Six
David is made redundant in the last episode of 2002. The
news of David's redundancy is not having the devastating effect
on the office that he would have liked though but brighter
things are on the horizon as Inside Paper are writing a feature
on him.
Brent sadly leaves Wernham Hogg at the end of the episode
to search for new employment.
