BBC’s The Office Reunion Trailer
Despite the massive success of the original BBC series The Office, up until now Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant have admirably resisted exploiting the show and stretching it out beyond what was originally intended. They maintain that two 6-episode seasons and a finale is all that will ever be produced, and you have to respect that even if it can be a little disappointing as a fan. Of course, with the number of remakes happening in other countries, it’s not like Gervais and Merchant need the extra cash anyway.
Here’s the good news: apparently the BBC did finally manage to get Gervais, Merchant and the rest of the cast to return to The Office in a slightly different way. They are putting together a reunion special called The Office Night on BBC Two, which will feature retrospective interviews, followed by a marathon of the entire series. Sounds kind of cool, right? I don’t think they’ve set a date yet, but they’ve released a short teaser trailer online. Check it out after the jump.

There’s already been at least two specials about The Office with cast and creators, do we really need Matthew Perry telling us it’s funny? I’ll watch this, but only out of my unyeilding devotion to Ricky and Steve.
