Starting this week on BBC 4 is a four party documentary by Liz Mermin on Office Tigers, an organisation set up in India by an American company to provide office services to multinational companies around the globe. These services includes report writing, creating PowerPoint presentations, and so forth.



Liz Mermin's documentaty style has a light touch, and doesn't force any paticular political message about either the employees, many working ludricoulsy long days to join the Western dream, nor the (hyped up) American managers.

There's plenty of humour, especially around one of the managers (whose been living in a hotel room for 6 years since arriving in India) has a touch of the David Brent about him - when in his hotel room he couldn't resist showing where he did his pull ups. He's also obsessed about people wearing their ties.

I had heard nothing about this programme before hand and now can't wait to see the other three parts.
