Bit of a slow start, but I'm really enjoying this show now.
Noel Fielding guest star last night.

"And this one...flash...flash...flash...and wait for it, nothing for a while, here it comes...double flash...brilliant."

michael_horse  said about 5 years ago:

has its moments, but i was left unimpressed


tilljames  said about 5 years ago:

what horse said.
more irritating than funny....


PunchDrunk  said about 5 years ago:

I think its a great show, not quite as good as Darkplaces, Nathan Barley etc... bit more Black Booksy in its humour.

"Cradle of Filth's Coffin Fodder got me through some tough times"
hahaha

I really like the stress episode - where Moss was stabbing around his fingers with the knife - exceptional

Moss


MrsGideon  said about 5 years ago:

Come on, Noel Fielding last night!

And Moss is fantastic. "Four! I mean, five! I mean, fire!"


iamthewalrus  said about 5 years ago:

last night's episode was the best so far.


triptolemus  said about 5 years ago:

Wasn't too bad...I'll watch it again.


Godzilla  said about 5 years ago:

i thought last night's wasn't as good as the previous week where she bought the shoes 2 sizes too small because that was all the shop had.


PunchDrunk  said about 5 years ago:

Roy: (singing) We don't need no education.
Moss: Yes you do, you've just used a double negative


k2  said about 5 years ago:

The whole show is based around how non-IT people see IT people - which is lame for a real IT guy. Tepid jokes, stereotypes, cliches..

seven thumbs down.


michael_horse  said about 5 years ago:

"bit more Black Booksy in its humour."

gee, ya reckon ?

they just took the black book characters and put them in a basement IT department .. it's a direct rip


paulie  said about 5 years ago:

still funny though. at least it's not the 'comedy' on the commercial stations.


PunchDrunk  said about 5 years ago:

Well its done by the same guy Graham Linehan - who did Father Ted, Black Books, IT Crowd etc, so its no wonder


damselfly  said about 5 years ago:

my fave is also the shoe episode.


RoastOxCrisps  said about 5 years ago:

uber lame.


versionsporadic  said about 5 years ago:

>has its moments, but i was left unimpressed

too close to home?

I thought last nights episode was the funniest so far


michael_horse  said about 5 years ago:

no, too far from home ... as someone else said, it's a comedian's idea of IT, so it doesn't even come close


versionsporadic  said about 5 years ago:

from my side of the office it looks pretty accurate


michael_horse  said about 5 years ago:

oh, well then i change my mind, it's hilarious


versionsporadic  said about 5 years ago:

sometimes michael you can be a bit of a miserable sarcastic little cunt

C4 sitcom to end, says Graham Linehan

The next series of the IT Crowd will probably be the last, writer Graham Linehan has revealed. Linehan, who is also working on a TV project with Radio 4 favourite Count Arthur Strong, says he topes to write the fifth series of the Channel 4 sitcom this year, but then intends to call it a day.

‘I think one more series to really say goodbye to the characters and the fans. I’m not rushing into it because I don’t want it to be a zombie series where the show is dead but its body is still moving around.’

The show, which launched in 2006, has grown into one of Channel 4’s most dependable comedy hits, attracting a record 2.17million viewers for the last episode in series four. Twitter was recently awash with rumours that Osama Bin Laden was a fan… which Linehan subsequently admitted were started by him. Meanwhile, Linehan has been working on a new stage adaptation of classic Ealing comedy The Ladykillers, set to open in Liverpool in October.
