'Vulgar, bigoted, cynical': France warms to Le Bureau
"The gags include pranks with pungent cheese, racist comments and a grim office block in a riot-hit Paris suburb where the boss likes to say 'zat's life'.
Le Bureau, a French version of the hit BBC comedy The Office, has been greeted with rave reviews by television critics, who have fallen in love with the bigoted, chauvinistic boss from hell who they feel is the perfect portrait of modern France. Ricky Gervais's David Brent has mutated into 50-something Gilles Triquet, 'le boss trop cool' of the Cogirep paper company. He wears lemon-coloured shirts, sticks retro postcards of donkeys on his wall and has novelty facial hair - a tiny vertical strip of beard from his mouth to his chin."
