Although the subtitles were added by the poster, apparently the video itself is a 1990s BBC production for English learners. And the name of the company in the video appears to be spelled “Bibury”, at least judging from some of the stuff I found online about this.

I want to see more! The sexual tension is palpable. I swear I've seen Don before.

I keep imagining a group of foreigners walking around and slowly annunciating GOOD MORNING and I'M THE HEAD OF THE ADMINISTRATION IN THE MARKETING DEPARTMENT.

How very weird, that they all stand so intimately close when saying “good morning”.

Frankly the “Good morning” and “here's your newspaper” bits were a bit repetitive.
I do like how she smacks the blinds and strokes the plant seductively, before she goes “here is the photocopier” though.

Well there are a lot of difficult silences considering it is a language lesson, but this is more like Howard's Way, Triangle and The Brothers all rolled into to one.

I reckon, right, that Mr Harris is actually having an affair with Jenny and all that 'did you have nice weekend stuff' is for show so Geraldine doesn't dob him in to Mrs Harris.

I watched this with growing discomfort first, then read your comment underneath -yeah, spot on! At 4:27, Kate holds Mr Green's gaze for just a delicious beat too long before she speaks.

If you thought the mispellings here were good, 'engrish.com' will blow your mind, Mr. Popper. That site is possibly the greatest thing on the internet; no joke.
