The Office UK
I have been re watching this:
Dawn and Tim, are much less sympathetic.
Tim, spends his time tormenting Gareth, but he is never really called on it. Yes Gareth is a moron.
Yes David Brent is a moron. Well that is life. See the little clip of Gareth and David, humming the Muppet's phenomenon . Its a brief little intrusion grow up. That is actually my problem with Tim. We keep being told he lacks confidence? Why exactly-Tim is somewhat successful in his job. Yes he dropped out of university. Okay fine, and for five years he was working and earing in his job. For five years he was seeing graduates come and go. Probably people with psychology degrees, and they did what? The same job as he would do. Tim has a reasonably good, white collar job. Finally they offer him Davids job, and he does what? Gives it to Gareth. Basically he plays wrecker with every other person in the office.
Oh Tim, makes a crack about the warehouse workers being working class. Which sits odd with Gervais who is a builders son.
In actual fact the character relies on Martin Freeman's performance to make him sympathetic. In fact looking again at the show. I would wonder if was all about class. Tim, and Neill who are clearly middle class. Brent-Gareth-Lee less so.
Dawn-Basically wants it all. She wants to giggle with Tim, and torment Gareth and then come home to the physically bigger Lee.
