The Office Christmas specials The Office Christmas specials "The Office" Christmas Specials are the two-part final episode of the British mockumentary comedy television series "The Office". The specials were commissioned after the series' creators, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, announced that they would not write a full third series of the show. The first 45-minute part was broadcast on BBC One on 26 December 2003, and the second 50-minute part was shown the following evening. The episodes are presented in the style of "revisited" documentaries common on British television, in which popular "docusoaps" (e.g. "Airport"), are brought back for one-off specials several years after
