Amazing that they sort of stumbled across the slow motion ending quite by accident. I don't think it would have had quite the same impact without it. It really created the perfect, if heartbreaking, ending with the slow mo included.
I fully expect Edmund and the gang to be dishing out 'six of the best, trousers down' to The Office. Tough draw for Brent. I feel like him against The Fast Show would have been a very close tie.
