"Remember... The Office" looks back on 25 years of the hit sitcom with stars Mackenzie Crook and Martin Freeman sharing behind-the-scenes stories about the show. The catch? Ricky Gervais is not participating – he's releasing his own documentary on YouTube.
Here's how to watch "Remember... The Office" online from anywhere with this VPN — and potentially for free.
"Remember... The Office" premieres on Wednesday, July 8 at 10 p.m. BST in the U.K.
• WATCH FREE — BBC Four / BBC iPlayer (U.K.)
• Watch BBC anywhere — try NordVPN risk-free for 30 days
This special documentary only runs for 29 minutes and discusses what went on behind the scenes on the cult classic show, including footage of audition tapes and a look at the way "The Office" – the British version, of course – impacted popular culture and spawned the even more successful U.S. version of "The Office"
There's some drama around the release of the show as David Brent himself, aka Ricky Gervais, has decided to skip this reunion and produce his own YouTube documentary to mark the big occassion. Some news outlets are calling it a 'snub' but it's more likely to do with Gervais' recent work with Netflix – home to his latest masterpiece, "Alley Cats".
If you want to go back and enjoy the show all over again, here's how to watch "Remember... The Office" online and from anywhere.
