 In a BBC Radio 1 "Newsbeat" interview, Gervais asked for a newspaper or magazine to buy the scripts and return them to the BBC as "a little Christmas present to the nation".The second series of "The Office" averaged four million viewers per week when it was broadcast on BBC Two.To get as many viewers as possible for the Christmas specials, the BBC's director of television Jana Bennet allowed it to be moved to BBC One.
