A perfect pairing of Sound & Vision - Dawn and Tim. The Office Christmas Special.


It was the moment we'd waited nearly 3 years to see. 3 years of watching Tim and Dawn flirt. 3 years of watching them in love but never being able to do anything about it as Dawn was engaged. Twice we'd seen Tim follow his heart and get blown out of the water. The 2nd series ended and we thought that was it, unrequited love, a story left hanging, never to be seen again. Then The Office came back for a Christmas special and we had hope in our hearts again. Tim was still working in the same office in Slough. Dawn was living in Miami with her fella Lee and they still hadn't gotten married. She was back for Christmas and she was coming to the Christmas do. They'd be together again. It felt like old times. Jokes, a little bit of awkwardness, Tim happy for the first time in years. Then she was gone. Our hearts broke again. But she'd left with a present. A present that made her realise where her heart really lay. Then to the sounds of Yazoo and Alison Moyet this happened.


 Ah jesus it was great. Hearts melted up and down the country as one of the best love stories ever on TV reached a climax. Dawn's appearance in the background would make you catch your breath and then that kiss would make you want to punch the air. Of course the song playing over it was called 'Only You'. What else could it be.

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you
TV heaven. A perfect pairing of sound and vision. The best thing Ricky Gervais ever did. Yeah he's turned into a toxic piece of shit but that doesn't take from this.
