I also asked Reddit, who predictably started arguing over which version of The Office is better.

Ricky Gervais is my lifetime idol. I've exchanged twitter banter with him a couple of times and naturally I infinitely prefer the original Office. It will forever be one of the best sitcoms in my eyes. However, I also enjoy watching the US version and I often try to treat is as it's own programme in it's own right. Both are good pieces of television, but for me, the UK version is at the top.
Edit: After reading your Reddit threat, Meech, I saw someone posted a link to a Wikipedia article with a list of US - UK adaptations. I had absolutely no idea that University Challenge was originally American. I mean, it feels so quintessentially British!
