Who was the cinematographer credited on The Office (UK)?

The story behind the answer

The cinematographer credited on The Office (UK) was Andy Hollis.

Hollis is listed in the series credits for the BBC sitcom, which was created and written by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. His cinematography helped support the programme's documentary-like visual style as cameras observe the employees of Wernham Hogg's Slough branch.

The credit is easy to confuse with several other names in the production information. Jon Plowman was an executive producer, Ash Atalla was a producer, and Nigel Williams was the editor. They were all important contributors, but none is the credited cinematographer.

The Office deliberately used a single-camera setup and no laughter track, choices that helped create its uncomfortable, observational tone. Filming took place in an office at Teddington Studios. The series originally ran for two six-episode series, followed by the two-part Christmas finale in 2003, making Hollis's credit part of a compact but highly influential production.
