 It's the only choice with any artistic integrity.
 
 As for the Office, Ricky's laughing all the way to the bank about slow death of the U.S. version.

  Well sure, but the way he played that anyone with half a brain knows he built his name with the UK Office (and Extras- 2nd season perhaps best comedy show ever) and ensured his ancestors will be rich forever with the US. I could guestimate an assumption that Americans are stupid enough to watch it, but When The Whistle Blows points to a similar believe about the UK audience. 
But see, Ricky has kept himself sort of distant from the US and when I think of his work I think UK O and Extras.
