I'm watching it air now on the BBC, and they've edited the two Christmas episodes together. They cut out the closing credits at the end of the first one, so the final shot feels weird, because it's supposed to be a stinger, and there's an abrupt transition between the two episodes.

If the DVD is gonna be like this, as opposed to as two seperate parts, I think I'll order the R2. Call me anal about "artist's original intent", but ...

I have a copy of the check disc, and they aren't edited together. Each part has its own end credits and is individually launched from the menu.

So I'm a little confused. I had always heard that there were two Christmas specials (which is what you guys are now confirming for me, thanks.) But I was always under the impression that the first special supposedly aired between Seasons 1 and 2, then the second special aired after the series finale. Is this true?

If so, then I don't understand why the currently airing BBC double-bill version begins with David Brent after his redundancy. Wouldn't that be strictly post-Season 2?

UKingdom

no; the two specials were AFTER season two

Count de Monet

Ahhh, okay. Now it makes sense to me. Thanks, UKingdom.

Just curious, but how did the first special end? Where is the break between the two?

If you've watched it on BBC-America:



It'll really stick out to you, knowing where to look.

ugh.

too many drugs.

i thought the thread title said "will the Office Space Special DVD be edited together."

Thanks, TGG. I know exactly what you're talking about. Man, what a downer way to end a Christmas special! At least the end of the second special makes up for it.
