* HumbleBeginnings: The series started as a small, home-made video by Creator/StephenMerchant when he was trying to get a job at Creator/TheBBC. He came up with the idea for making a documentary style format as it would be easier for him to film. He and Creator/RickyGervais came up with the idea for the series and used a local university to film it. Upon seeing the short video the BBC requested that they make a series out of it. Many of the jokes from this original film are recycled during the proper series for example, David Brent's opening speech about making employees' dreams come true.
* OneTakeWonder: Creator/RickyGervais hoped that the scene where [[spoiler:Brent is made redundant]] only required one take, as it was so draining.
