The first series of Channel 4’s highly amusing IT Crowd is over, with an unlikely but brilliant cliff-hanger (of sorts). Anyone who enjoyed Father Ted will enjoy this series, coming as it does from the same creators. Chris Morris also does a good line in lunatic boss, and there’s much to like about any comedy that takes the piss out of a) office environments and their absurdities, and b) tech support geeks (the moment where Moss e-mails the Fire Department to tell them the office is on fire is inspired).
There are links to download each episode from the Geeks are Sexy blog, appropriately enough…
I just can’t get two lines out of my head – they make me giggle on a daily basis.
Irish accent – "have you turned it off and on again"
and "you don’t know anything about computers".
episode 1 was one of the funniest things i’ve ever seen.
