is that the uk version they r showing over there?? its not a hard accent at all by our standards!!! apparently though the americans are gonna make their own version of it pretty soon it is quite funny, series 2 is funnier than series one... kinda like 'spinal tap' comedy... |

I watched the repeats when I was in London over xmas - that is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Absolute genius. Also watched "Phoenix Nights" on DVD. Almost wet myself laughing, although I suspect people who have not lived in Britain would not understand the humour of that at all... |

Cockney? It isn't cockney there are more than three accents in England you know :) Everytime an English person is portaid on US series or comedy it is either cockney, really fake posh, or a beatles liverpool accent. |

It is a sort of general sort of southern accent, that they speak around that part of the country. It probably has some sort of name but being an ignorant northerner I don't know. |

Most of the character have pretty bland and normal standard southern English accents - this is called received pronunciation (RP) I think.. Gavin has a bit of west country accent though - probably from Devon or Somerset or somewhere... Really none of these accents are hard to understand... |

The Office is based in Slough / Swindon, and there are no strong accents here. If you're having trouble understanding then avoid Scouse, Geordie, Yorkshire, Manc, Glaswegian, Welsh, Brummie cos you ain't heard nothing yet. |
