The reason why The Office was such a success and subsequently has gained a cult following with websites like this one and Facebook pages like these is because the lead character, David Brent, is supported by a really strong stable of other office characters.
Some of these characters like Tim, Gareth and Dawn are pivotal throughout the series, where as others like Chris Finch, Simon the computer geek, and Jennifer Taylor-Clarke have more fleeting appearances throughout the series.
Each of the supporting characters persona’s had a great deal of depth to them, were relatable, and had traits and behaviours we all could identify with in one way or another.
