Recap of Sunday's Britflix marathon, which involved buying massive amounts of beer and ordering in food while testing the endurance of our buttocks:
- The Office Episode 1: everyone's favorite ennui-laden mockumentary on the mundanity and inanity of corporate life.
- The Office Episode 2
- Get Carter: the original version with Michael Kane. Disturbing and violent.
- The Office Episode 3
- Dr. Who: "The Pirate Planet": low-budget effects and a script by Douglas Adams makes for campy-but-heady fun.
- The Office Episode 4
- Whitnail and I: a.k.a. fear and loathing in the English countryside.
- The Office Episode 5
- The Bridge on the River Kwai: this clash of antiquated cultural stereotypes makes for compelling drama.
All-in-all, eleven hours of wry, dignified, anglophilic entertainment.

No Mr. Bean? And Benny Hill? Very disappointing.
Redemption: Douglass Adams + Dr. Who. Wicked!!!
