Office wins yet another honour

David Brent's assessment of one of his employees in The Office has been named the funniest scene on TV last year.

The awkward conversation with office dullard Keith, played by Uwen Macintosh, earned its honour at last night's 2002 TV Moment programme, hosted by Jonathan Ross.

In a viewers' vote, the scene beat the embarrassing dance routine Ricky Gervais performed in the BBC2 comedy.

In the same poll, best entertainment moment was the ribbing Angus Deayton suffered at the hands of Paul Merton and Ian Hislop on Have I Got News For You after newspaper revelations about his private life.
