Gareth Keenan Investigates!
I love Martin Freeman, but it turns out that the only way I can stand to watch The Office (UK) on DVD is to turn on subtitles, play at 2x (the subtitles are still visible), and then hit Play at normal speed when Tim comes on. The US Office falls in to the same uncomfortable-to-watch category as Seinfeld for me. I figured that the UK version probably would, too, but that maybe I could distract myself while watching to make it bearable. No such luck. And annlarimer's observation on British DVD menus still holds.
