The
Office two-part special to air on BBC ONE at Christmas
BBC
Director of Television Jana Bennett today announced that the forthcoming
two-part special of The Office - to be shown at Christmas - will
air on BBC ONE.
She
said: "The
fantastic writing and characters of The Office won a huge and loyal
fan base when it appeared on BBC TWO and we wanted to make sure
that the widest number of viewers got a chance to watch the last
two episodes ever, so we agreed that David Brent, Gareth and the
team in Slough should make an appointment with BBC ONE this Christmas.
"This
is in the great tradition of BBC TWO growing and nurturing strong
comedies, like Absolutely Fabulous, which are then offered to a
wider audience on BBC ONE - and we hope the viewers will enjoy a
toe-curlingly funny Christmas."
All the
BBC's digital services are now available on Freeview,
the new free-to-view digital terrestrial television service, as well
as on satellite and cable.
Freeview
offers the BBC's eight television channels, interactive services
from BBCi, as well as 11 BBC radio networks.
