The Office Christmas Special part 2. First aired 27/12/03

in this episode...

Tim's world is rocked when Dawn turns up at the office to say hello. Despite a stern warning from Gareth and wise words from Keith in Accounts, Tim can't help but get his hopes up again.

Meanwhile, David Brent secured the services of a dating agency and, in between making celebrity appearances in nightclubs for £500 a go, he met up for drinks with a rather disappointing selection of single women.

Brent-ism of the episode
"Don't Assume. It makes an ass out of 'u' and 'me'."

The office Christmas party kicked off like any other but there were a few surprises in store. The first was the arrival of David Brent's date, who turned out to be a very attractive and intelligent woman (almost as intelligent as David). The second involved Dawn, who had left early with boyfriend Lee, but who later returned alone, marching straight into the arms of Tim.

too good to miss out...

Tim: "Gareth, are you still in the TAs?"
Gareth: "Yes."
Tim: "What rank are you?"
Gareth: "Lieutenant."
Tim: "Are you? Because I was thinking, if you ever take an enemy soldier prisoner, right, would you have to search him?"
Gareth: "Yeah, it's possible. Yes."
Tim: "Right, so let's just say you've taken him prisoner, you're doing a full body search, you find something hard, you can feel it, you know what it is. Do you just say to him, 'I know you've got a big weapon, give it to me now'?"

David: "In fact, for me to be attracted to a woman, she's got to be as intelligent, or slightly less intelligent than me. She is."
