As much as i love this show, I have to say I absolutely hate the christine episode!!
They all prove to me that they are all an evil bunch of bitches!!!!!
Even Bren, i cant stand any of them in this (except anita) and they are all disgusting to Christine. If she gets on their nerves, fine but there was no need to be so vile and disgusting to her. Dolly needed a disciplinary for the way she spoke to her. Even bren called christine thick, twinkle told her to shove it. Stan gave her a bollicking, it was painful to watch.
If I was tony, I would have had every one of them in my office with an official warning.
Evil, nasty disgusting bitches of hell, every one of them, in *beep* hate them all in this episode.

Don't take comedy so seriously.

Not to mention Christine wasn't very pleasant towards them, she was just much more passive aggressive about it and would smile afterwards.

If you've ever worked with "a Christine" you'd know - this is the type of overprecious, usually fairly selfish and lazy person that drip-drips toxic comments and condescension like water torture. These people really bring out the worst in the nicest of folk - I've witnessed it. I'll grant you that these can be hard-done-by and damaged people - the one example I worked with had just been divorced from her wealthy partner but she channeled her snobbery and presumptions onto colleagues in a gently damning way and needed a talking to.
This type are condescending, eccentric (in a bad way!) and rude. I saw this episode and although we could never be as forthright as Bren and the girls were (we don't want to be sacked for bullying!) I showed the DVD to my colleagues and we could laugh more about this. Eventually our "Christine" moved to another office but her reputation went viral.
