The IT Crowd - Friday C4 9pm

For anyone who watched and loved Garth Marenghi's Darkplace (I feel like I'm the only one in the world who saw it) ... the IT Crowd is on tonight on Channel 4 9pm starring Richard Ayoade (from Darkplace)

"The unloved, ignored, socially-awkward Roy and Moss make up the I.T. department of Reynholm Industries. Their world is shattered by the arrival of a new 'relationship manager', Jen (Katherine Parkinson), a young woman who knows as much about computers as your average 17th-century farmer..."

I loved the "RTFM" T shirt (oh how I wish I'd had one of those when I worked on an IT helpdesk!)

The different sized glasses were pretty good

And emailing emergency services about the fire made me chortle

I was disappointed too sd. S few funny moments but overall, not great was it. I liked the fire email too

WideWebWitch · 04/02/2006 07:52

Hadn't noticed the t shirt and just had to think what it stood for, got it now, doh!

VeniVidiVickiQV · 04/02/2006 23:05

This is on again now - its quite amusing for those of you who are in the IT trade......

I liked this, made me laugh a lot. But I'm sleep-deprived.

pesme · 08/02/2006 20:23

i am pretty tired too and it made me laugh i loved the whole clanking 'i am about to make a joke now'. i am getting abit tired of clever comedy thsi was just funny.

motherfunkerhunkermunker · 08/02/2006 20:25

I loved "oh I am a giddy goat" - they're just so "Blue Peter" about things.

And the getting to the front and sitting down in the stress conference made me laugh, as did the stress man losing it with them.

Oh, am def sleep deprived!

Loved "have you turned it off and back on again" and "are you from the past?!" too

Well for the first episode I thought it was quite good. I did find it funny and even laughed out loud at some points. Especially when she was on the phone and one of them came in and waited before saying 'do you want me to connect you phone now?'

lahdeedah · 08/02/2006 21:54

I really liked it too - esp the second episode with Jen's deformed feet - laughed out loud at that! Also loved Chris Morris in his skintight cycling outfit

spacedonkey - I loved Darkplace too, hope it gets another series. Dean Lerner is fab

lahdeedah - I hear tell that Darkplace is coming out on DVD (at last!). Not sure if another series is planned though.

I did love "FIRE exclamation mark FIRE exclamation mark HELP exclamation mark" - have kept chuckling about that all week, so it can't have been that bad!

oh how marvellous - that will be an essential purchase!!

IT Crowd last night was disappointing. Only seemed to hit its stride about 3 minutes from the end, with the bit in the restaurant! Shame. Hopefully Chris Morris will be back next week.

My Name is Earl was hilarious though, so made up for it. PMSL when he woke up to find Randy cutting his toenails!!

cupcakes · 11/02/2006 19:59

Only saw the end of IT but lol nonetheless. Earl was v funny too.

TambaTheDragonSlayer · 11/02/2006 20:01

I thought it was totally crap

BearintheBigBlueHouse · 15/02/2006 21:51

Urgent request - anyone got last Friday's (11th Feb) episode (Episode 3) on dvd or video and could lend it to us - we were all too under the weather to watch or tape it and despite the listings mags saying it's repeated tonight and tomorrow on E4, Channel 4 has changed its schedules so that it's not - durr! TIA

monkeytrousers · 15/02/2006 22:12

I loved Darkplace - we have them all on CD! (Hint- look on ebay)

Thought this was okay, not as good though. Good to see Chris Morris turn up though the material seems weak for him. Thingy was in Nathan Barley too wasn't he? Don't like th irish fella, too much like Dylan Moron, ahem Moran, who I hate!
