Two comedy The Office has been sold to more than 60 countries,
including Bosnia and France.
While the US will be doing their own adaptation of
the series, the rest of the world will see the original version.
The programme, a mock
fly-on-the-wall
documentary shot in a paper supply company in Slough, stars Ricky
Gervais as inefficient
manager David Brent.
The first series of the show has also been sold to
Finland, New Zealand, Iceland and The Federated Republic of Yugoslavia.
It is also being shown on BBC America, part of the
corporation's
international division, BBC Worldwide.
Rupert Gavin, Chief Executive of BBC Worldwide, said:
"The Office works across all countries and cultures."
"The work environment may differ from country to country,
but there are comic scenarios
in this series that workers from New York to New Zealand will recognise."
