Classic British sitcom The Office is being remade in Arabic, with 20 episodes of a new series airing in the Middle East later this year. The original British version of The Office was written and directed by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, with the first episode airing on BBC Two in July 2001. Revolving around the employees of Slough paper merchant Wernham Hogg and their awkward boss David Brent – played by Gervais – the show ran for 12 episodes, plus a two-part Christmas special. That original series was exported to more than 80 countries, but there were also remakes in France, Germany, Canada, India, Israel, and many more.
