It's been three years since the BBC documentary crew first turned up at the office. Back for one last visit, they find Gareth Keenan now in charge and as the staff of Wernham Hogg know all too well, he runs the office with a military precision. Since we last saw David Brent he has become a sales rep for a cleaning products company, released his own pop single and has acquired a showbiz agent to look after his celebrity appearances. He visits his old place of work regularly, despite him successfully suing Wernham Hogg for unfair dismissal. The big news as far as Tim is concerned is the imminent arrival of Dawn. The documentary crew has kindly offered to fly Dawn and boyfriend Lee from Florida back to Slough for the office Christmas party - an event that may well have a wet T-shirt competition if Keith has anything to do with it.

The MC at the night club says Sarah Whatmore was from Popstars. She was actually from Pop Idol.
Interviewer: When was the last time you had an actual girlfriend?"
David: I don't look on it as when. I look on it as who, and why.
Brent: You always get the odd person who doesn't appreciate what you're doing, shouts silly things.
Interviewer: What sort of things?
Brent: You beardy twat. Pug-nosed gimp. Lard Boy, and I go Yeah what have you ever done on telly? nothing, so don't.....Absolutely flabulous!
Tim: (talking about Dawn's return) Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing her again, of course. She's my friend, and she's a good friend, and no, I don't know exactly how I'll feel. I'll feel like a friend feels, whatever that is, you know, but as I said, I'm not going to ask her again! Come on! (pauses, grins) I might ask her again. No, I won't, I won't. She would have to do the asking.
Interviewer: So, you're not looking for a relationship?
David: I'm not shopping for a relationship. I'm browsing, looking around. If I see a bargain, I've got the money. So... it's very much a--. That's a metaphor! I'd never pay for it.
David: Ask me no questions - I'll tell no lies.
Tim: Actually when that bi went out on Telly I was watching it with my family and I was mortified obviously, and my Grandmother said "I'm not surprised she chose the other fellow, I wouldn't kick him out of bed." (laughs, turns to the camera) So, Lee, um, if you're watching and you ever get bored of being with someone with their own teeth, nana is up for it.
Gareth: I did learn a lot from David. I learned from his mistakes. Okay. We were very different people. Um, he used humour where I use discipline. And I learned that nobody respected him. And in a war situation if you want your platoon to go over the top with you to certain death, it's no good saying to them, "please come with me lads, I'll tell you a joke." You know, it's a direct order: "Come-with-me" and they'll go "Yes, he's got good leadership skills, let's all go with him to our certain death." And if-- Also if you're laughing in the jungle, you're gonna give away your position to the enemy.
