Martin Freeman hits out at Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant’s claim about The Office

Martin Freeman has said his recollection of making the hit show The Office is different from that of creators Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant.

Gervais and Merchant have long been adamant that the groundbreaking BBC sitcom was entirely scripted, but Freeman, who played the self-deprecating Tim Canterbury, has a different recollection, saying it was “looser” than they suggested.
