I've seen both first seasons now, and they compare favorably in both directions. The US version takes some scenes verbatim from the British one, but adds it's own which are also very funny. It's obvious that Steve Correll has watched the British version many, many times in order to get nearly the same mannerisms his counterpart uses. Summary: Both good, the boss is much more unlikeable in the British version though. -- Tyler Trafford If you live to the age of a hundred you have it made because very few people die past the age of a hundred. -- George Burns .
