Episode Four (The Office, Series One)

Episode Four is the fourth episode of the first series of The Office. "Training" is an alternate title for the episode. It originally aired on July 30, 2001.

Synopsis
It's staff training day at Wernham Hogg, and an outside facilitator has come in to educate the Slough branch about customer care. David Brent, naturally, is determined to undermine him at every opportunity. Meanwhile, Dawn Tinsley and her fiancé Lee are having trouble in their relationship. Is this Tim Canterbury's moment to make his move? The answer is tragically inevitable. During the training session, Brent breaks into song, singing self-penned titles such as "Freelove Freeway". He also comforts Dawn with a composition about Princess Diana.

Free Love Freeway
During the employee training seminar, Brent's singing/songwriting in rock and roll band Foregone Conclusion years ago becomes the focus of attention. Brent brings in his guitar to sing several songs, which were actually written by Gervais, including "Free Love Freeway".

In 2004, Noel Gallagher, the lead songwriter and guitarist for the rock group Oasis, recorded the song with Gervais in a professional studio. The new full band recording, which has an added verse, is available as a special feature of the Christmas Special DVD of The Office. A longer, one take version of the song is also available as an easter egg on the series one DVD.
