The Christmas Specials.

Dawn and Tim
Piers claims that he hates TV Christmas Specials. Up until about a month ago I would have agreed with him. Then I "accidently" obtained copies of The Office: The Christmas Specials. Those of you who have seen the Office before know whether you love the show or not. However, this two part series is at a whole new level.

David is at his peak, cringe factor 11, I almost died from a heart-attack watching this show. I spent most of it hiding under my quilt desperate to survive. On the other hand, at the climax of Dawn (Lucy Davis, who also played Maria Lucas in my favourite TV show of all time) and Tim's story line, I bawled my eyes out like baby. I think the last time that happened was when I was 10 years old and Forest Gump told Jenny that he knew what love was. Talk about an emotional roller coaster.

I'm not the biggest fan of the Office and haven't seen every episode of the regular series. However, a reasonable context is essential for you to truly appreciate these extra shows which are set some months after the final episode. They essentially wrap up the story-lines in christmas paper that you were left with at the end. It is defiantly some of the finest TV i have ever seen.
