Sony SAB TV to re-run ‘Office Office’ in UK during lockdown

Sony Pictures Networks has confirmed that it will be re-running the popular sitcom ‘Office Office’ for UK viewers during lockdown.

As of Thursday 30th April, the broadcaster has scheduled the 2001 Rajiv Mehra series in the 18:00 slot. The show stars Pankaj Kapur as Mussaddi Lal Tripathi, a common man who struggles to get his work done in different corrupt offices in each episode. He is accompanied by Deven Bhojani, Asawari Joshi, Sanjay Mishra, Hemant Pandey and Manoj Pahwa.

Deven Bhojani was ecstatic at the launch, he said, “It’s a great feeling that Office Office is coming back. We made the show in 2001-2002, and after almost two decades it will go on air again. The show is still relatable the way it was then. It is about how a common man suffers when he needs to get something important done amidst the offices of corrupt people.

He added, “In the period of lockdown, when the whole world is going through tension, pain and sadness, the re-run of Office Office will divert their minds and bring smiles to their faces. I myself am looking forward to such a show.”

The show’s re-run is rather apt with most work offices currently closed due to the coronavirus lockdown.
