The Office, the hit show created and fronted by comedian Ricky Gervais, has been a surprise double winner at the Golden Globe awards.
The BBC show was named best TV comedy series and Gervais also picked up the award for best actor in a comedy.
"I'm not from these parts. I'm from a little place called England. We used to run the world before you," a delighted Gervais quipped on receiving his award.
The Office, in which Gervais plays the hopelessly out-of-touch boss David Brent, had been nominated alongside Sex and the City, Will and Grace, Arrested Developmentand Monk.
