I saw the first season on VHS with a British friend here in Thailand. It is an absolutely brilliant show. The wit is super sharp, the concept (a show about an office but no one ever does any work) is great and the rapport amongst the actors is top-notch.

I am not sure if it will work in America or not. The closest thing I have seen is the better improvised bits in Christopher Guest films (Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show). If the Americans can find good improvisational comics, and keep the genuine feel that the British show has (nearly every actor is only average looking, for instance), they might pull it off.
