Moments in TV Awesome: The Office UK

When Tim finally got the nerve to tell Dawn how he felt, he took her away from the cameras and into an empty conference room, where he yanked off his mic and spilled his guts. Unable to hear their conversation, we could only watch breathlessly as Dawn absorbed whatever Tim said and hugged him in return. Then they exited and Tim calmly informed us that she said no. It was an exquisitely beautiful sucker punch.

So as not to end on a downer, I present you with another Tim and Dawn Moment in Awesome:

The Christmas Special our last chance to see the should-be couple get it together and make love work. After leaving the party with boorish perma-fiance Lee, Dawn opened her Secret Santa gift and found proof that Tim was the one who got away (more accurately, the one she tossed back in favor of day old cod). Encouraging her "pipe dream" with oil paints and a note telling her to never give up, Tim finally got through to Dawn and she quietly broke down in tears. I might have also...but that's not the point. The peak moment of awesome came when she strode into the party to claim her man and we knew, just a moment before Tim, that his life was about to change forever.
