The Office Australia, based on Ricky Gervais’ winning The Office format has arrived on Amazon Prime.
A new version of the classic comedy series The Office has arrived our TVs and people are mad because the boss is a woman.The actor playing the new incarnation of the David Brent character initially played by Gervais says people aren’t happy that it delivers a female lead.
“When I got the job, I just cried because I was so happy. To get the lead in any sitcom is very, very exciting, but to get to be a part of The Office ! It’s like forever, I will be a part of The Office . Some fans were hopeful the show would deliver in its own right, despite the heavy burden of comparison it carried.
“And so of course they’re gonna come for me because it’s a double whammy because it’s The Office and because I’m a woman and I don’t say that as a victim. It’s just like the facts.“Also, I know what it is to love something and have it remade and feel furious about it. Now that sounds insane to me saying out loud, but I absolutely have felt furious about some things.
“The American Office came out and people were mad. They were like, ‘You can’t touch this British legacy comedy, it’s an institution.’ And it is.
