British shows like Coronation Street? Reruns of the British version of The Office? Doubt that'll ever happen....)
According to NPR, NBC is indeed considering airing the British "The Office."

It's not quite that simple. They are writers-producers, so while they are bound by the strike they are also under contract to come to work to produce the shows. When they wear their producer hats, they have to bear in mind all of the other workers on the show -- cameramen, techies, make-up people, etc. -- who can't afford to go without paychecks. I don't know if they will cross the line or not , but Johnny Carson did in 1988, and so did David Letterman.
