It's far from genius, but the cast is good and it's refreshing to see a BBC comedy that at least raises a few laughs - and to see one of Britain's 'Celtic nations' able to laugh at itself. Catch Scotland doing that! I'm afraid the Ronnie Ancona character is all too accurate....
As for the Office, it's no more an Office clone than The Office cloned I'm Alan Partridge or The Royle Family; 'fly on the wall' is an established sitcom style now. It's much more like 2012 and W1A, but better I think.
