The DVD release of The Office series two shifted more than 143,000 copies in its first week on sale, making it the fastest-selling BBC DVD title ever.

By comparison, the series one DVD sold 80,000 copies in week one last autumn, at the time setting a record for a UK TV show.

That record was broken just three weeks ago by Channel 4's Phoenix Nights, which managed a massive 160,000 copies.

In total, The Office series one DVD was bought by around 840,000 David Brent fansm, paving the way for the new release to top the 1 million mark.
