I think douglas as the boss has some ace lines.........the bit about losing the pension money, were LOL moments for me.

The whole gun storyline was a bit forced....not all that funny.

The thing about a character like douglas or the chris morris character is that, like the Alan Johnson character in Peep Show, they are such wonderfully absurb characters that their cameo appearances tend to be the highlight of a series. As soon as they become more central to the success of a comedy then it doesn't work.

Chris morris as renholm sr. was superb in those cameos......watched the visite of the japanese businessman from a previous series where renholm presents him with a pair of doc martens and it was hilarious.

I suspect the more lines the douglas character gets the more the 'joke' starts to wear a bit thin.

As for the first episode as a whole, other than the bits with douglas there were no LOL moments for me.......i'm wondering if it's not a case of this series being funny as six seperate episodes condensed into one such is the lack of genuinely funny bits. It has to get better than episode 1...shurely.

Was fairly funny but i'm of the same opinion that it's an office based comedy program rather than an 'IT' comedy program but then again the stuff we find funny with (l)users wouldn't entertain the masses so i suppose we're just not a big enough audience *sniff*
