Question

In a Mitchell and Webb Situation sketch set in one of these places, a character played by Webb is incapable of understanding the concept of a “bigger spoon”. An Orion (15[1])Lee-played character in one of these locations says “Of course I can. I can do anything. I can do absolutely (15[1])anything” when asked to inflate a balloon (15[1])in the form of a kitten. In a short film set in one of these places, an absurd request of drawing seven perpendicular red lines is given to Anderson, who is the title “Expert”. After being told about “irregularities in the pension fund”, Denholm casually opens the (*) window in one of these places and jumps out, in a scene from The IT (10[1])Crowd. An object is described as “bone” with a font called “Silian Rail” in one of these locations where Patrick Bateman’s co-workers show off their business cards. For 10 points, name these locations in workplace comedies where bosses might talk with groups of employees. ■END■
