I believe that this is one of Glinner’s few sources of income. I don’t think he gets any money from Ted on C4.

Has nobody ever pirated?

I certainly hope not. After all, they wouldn't steal a handbag, car or baby; or shoot a policeman, steal his helmet and then go to the toilet in his helmet....

Thinking about it more, I suppose the groups who actively seek out offence in every possible corner will probably also have 'issues' with the gay man in denial who 'thought that things might work out' as Jen 'looks quite like a man'.

I don't know if they would think it more or less bad, from their pov, if Lucy Montgomery or Katherine Parkinson did look remotely like men (let alone if they were actually biological males).

The dinner party. Classic
RAM is memory!! 😅 😅😅

the browser scene when Jen gets a virus on her pc.

The best part of that isn't even the dinner party itself. It's the moment when Jen gives a big speech about how they're more than just co-workers, they're friends. Followed by her dinner party guests cancel on her and she turns round to see them all waiting. "But it's my home!"

Also, I adore the "Oh my god! Social situations!" woman.

Oh my god the gay musical. When Jen turns around after all the madness and then Moss is keeping bar. I howl every time! We watch it on a loop so I'll be gutted when it comes off!

The absolute best bit. Breaks me.

Tigresswoods · 16/04/2023 22:24

Ha! Memory IS RAM!

Look normal, more normal.

DON'T BE STRESSED!!

Pete File?

We're just like you, except we listen to cradle of filth.

Leg disabled.

I could go on.

The episode where Moss snogs Roy behind the wheelie bins, just kills me every time 😂 also I can't eat mashed potato without thinking of the fire at seaparks

Childrenofthestones · 16/04/2023 12:41

Even not available it is still funnier than that gobshite Nish Kumar 😆

SheldontheWonderSchlong · 16/04/2023 09:36

It is a sublime series and I love it almost as much as Father Ted.

On my Netflix is doesn't say anything about leaving - it actually says it's 'one of the most rewatched programmes by members' so I'm hoping this means they're keeping it 🤞🏻

I love it too. Street countdown is a favourite here. I don't really get why the "infamous" episode is so terrible....compared to all the other episodes which are just as terrible to just about everyone. 😂

Because trans are a sacred caste. Not allowed to make fun nor criticise the ideology or I individuals. Not even fictional characters.

dunBle · 16/04/2023 08:49

I've not rewatched for a while, but all this discussion of favourite episodes is making me think it's time to dig out the DVDs again. Might go for some Black Books afterwards as well.

OldGardinia · 16/04/2023 08:38

The cast in this show were superb as well as the writing. Tiny things like how Douglas Reynholm says "fenimists" instead of "feminists". Or Jen's string of random sounds in an Italian accent.

Roy is actually the worst of them. Douglas is wildly inappropriate but at least he's sincere. Whereas Roy has no problem being underhand when the opportunity presents itself.

orangeflags · 16/04/2023 07:49

I'll get it ordered on dvd. Hard to pick a favourite episode. Anyone mentioned when Moss met the cannibal? And Peter File?

potatowhale · 16/04/2023 07:28

My faves are when Moss has a fire, when they convince Jen the Internet is in a little box and the fire at a seapark.

Fiftyisthenewsixty · 16/04/2023 07:23

I still see the 25th of April message.

Been binging on this on Netflix and I see now the message about leaving 25th April has disappeared, so I assume it's now staying, good. Can anyone else check to confirm?

IcakethereforeIam · 12/04/2023 21:25

He should write a book, I'd buy it even if it was just a shopping list compilation. He'd find a publisher somewhere.

Pudmyboy · 12/04/2023 21:18

Anyone know of a way of buying the IT Crowd and Father Ted so that Glinner gets the money?

ZombieKettle · 12/04/2023 19:27

Love the IT Crowd! Glinner is a genius. Love the Countdown episode ("I came here to drink milk and kick ass. And I've just finished my milk"), The Haunting of Bill Crouse (wonderful sleazy performance by Adam Buxton) and the episode where Jen takes up smoking and ends up like a Russian peasant 😂

"TAXI!!"

On a serious note, Father Ted and IT Crowd got me through some bouts of depression, which is why I'm happy to pay a subscription for Glinner's substack as a thank you for all he does. Please do consider doing the same.

CatsAddictedToDreamies · 12/04/2023 19:14

13 year old DS has just discovered them and keeps quoting it at me.

It's lost on me but I am supportive because it's Glinner.

TWETMIRF · 12/04/2023 19:11

I started watching from the beginning and have just started the work outing. Jealous much?

Ah, I wasn't sure if a Memory Hole meant that something that's been disappeared can still be found with a bit of digging. Instead it seems it's just to remove something and pretend it never happened

Correct. To Memory Hole something is a reference to the media simply burying a story and not referring to it anymore. It's done when something is inconvenient and can't easily be shot down.
