At the Ovalhouse theater in south London, Sanjeev Bhaskar, then 31 years old, was performing a two-week run of The Secret Asians, his comedic duo performance with the musician Nitin Sawhney. Anil Gupta, the future producer of The Office, and a group of BBC officials decided to flip a coin to determine whether they should watch the program after work or go to the bar in response to Bonnie Greer’s unexpectedly positive Time Out review. Fortunately for Bhaskar, he won the coin toss.
