A question about 'The It Crowd'. Any fans in?

[KitKat1985]

I think throughout all the series there's evidence that Roy is attracted to Jen and vice versa, but they never quite get it together. DH isn't so sure. Which one of us is right?

I love Black Books too - and Green Wing.

I love this scene - brilliantly written and brilliantly performed

The whole script is brilliant, a random comment early on always turns out to be really important later.

Oh and that song in the theater one got stuck in my head "I love willies"

Could you keep it down, please.

The theatre episode has just finished on 4Music.

"A gay musical.... called.... GAY!"

Where’s my heat?

No way! Jen was a bit of a mess but would NEVER have looked at Roy in a romantic way. She was fond of him & Moss but not in THAT way! Roy probably fancied all women but I got a brother/sister vibe. It was wonderful writing. The first episode I saw was the 'Gay' theatre episode and I roared. Fabulous programme. Fatheeeeer!

I’ve never watched it, so really can’t remember where I came across the scene (and the one leading up to it) which is at the funeral:

“I’m sorry for your loss, now move on”

I have no idea of the back stories or anything else, but I saw that one clip some time ago and it’s just stuck with me!

The theatre episode is ace - love Jen yelling 'Taxi!' The Countdown episode is inspired - Good morning. That's a nice tnetennba

I always find watching when Jen’s fringe is doing quite amusing. Her hair tends to be a little crazy at times!

She shouts taxi in every episode that season I think.

“I’m Peter File!”

When Denholm just walks out of the window as well it just cracks me up!

And Douglas’ exercise class!

I’m watching this later lol

No and only one thing to say about it:
“Is that shit on your forehead?“ 🤣😂🤣

We’ve been rewatching these and watched the one where Roy uses the disabled toilet and then pretends to be disabled to get out of it.
Couple of days later we go away and say at a hotel. DH and DS1 are put in an ‘accessible’ room and DH accidentally pulls the red string alarm thing / he said after words it did flash through his kind that he would have to lay in the floor and pretend to be disabled!!

I also love the one where Roy becomes a homeless down and out through a series of improbable events because Jen goes out for two hours to an interview.

Good morning that’s a nice tnetennba

It's chocolate!

Great to see so much live for this

DD (who actually is) often says "I'm disabled" in Roy's voice whenever we park or use an accessible toilet.

She says it to me, I mean

I find Matt Berry strangely attractive in this too

The one low point for me in an otherwise 100% outstanding show was the 'pun' where Roy's new date described him as 'being on the autistic spectrum' and he was really chuffed, because he thought she'd said 'artistic'

As if being autistic was supposed to be an insult and a great personal character flaw.

"They tell me that it's an outstanding department - it's run by a go-getter, a genius and.... a man from Ireland!"

"Are you doing a wee-wee walk?"

The look on Jen's face as she's determined to fit into the fabulous shoes that are several sizes too small.

Emailing the fire brigade.

"And finallly, let's hear it for.... the toilet cleaners!"
"To be fair, Roy, they do an amazing job. Have you seen how clean the toilets are on twelfth? I've started deliberately not going at home and saving it all up for when I'm here!"

"This calendar is in aid of me.... and I hate it!"
"Boxfressssh!!!"

"What is it, Jen? What's the problem?"

"Well, it's just that.... you look like a magician!"

"I see. Would it help if I trained and actually became a magician?"

"Maybe...."

I love the dinner party "act normal, no more normal, more normal!" and "Do you have absinthe? I only drink absinthe"
"Absinthe, no. Red wine, white wine, Carlsberg?" "Carlsberg, perfect"

Judy! Great character and I bet they had a good laugh with her scenes -

I never go that vibe, but I'm terrible at picking up on that sort of thing. I didnt realise when two of my work colleagues were in a relationship, apparently it was blindingly obvious to everyone else!

I had this actual conversation with DH yesterday:

Him - The laptop won't start.
Me - Have you pressed the button?
Him - Yes, it still won't work.
Me - Is there a little light on it?
Him - No, it's broken.
Me - Plug it in … does it start now?
Him - Yes.

I could get a job at Reynholm.
