British Invasion

///

I've heard great things about the U.S. version of The Office, with Steve Carrell, but as of yet I've been unable to set aside my massive adoration of the British version, with Ricky Gervais, to give it a chance.

This bit of news might change that:

"A little bit of England will be visiting "The Office" next season.

Ben Silverman, the executive producer of the hit NBC comedy, says that there will be something of a cross-over episode of "The Office," with some of the cast from the U.K. edition making an appearance at the dreary factory in Scranton, Pa., where the U.S. version takes place.

"There's a lot of love between [the casts and crews] of the two versions of the show," Silverman told The Post, declining to reveal plot details of the upcoming episode so as not to spoil it for fans.

"Expect some cameos from the U.K. paper company," says Silverman.

It was not immediately clear if the British cast members will be reprising their roles from the original U.K. version of "The Office" or simply popping up in other roles."

Oh God, if Martin Freeman shows up as Tim I'll die, I love him so much. And if he and Dawn (the wonderful Lucy Davis) are together? My heart might explode from happiness.

Most likely candidate, in my opinion, is Gareth (Mackenzie Crook), though - he is chasing his wooden eyeball around in the #1 movie in America these days.
