IT Guys

[Dos_Box]

Channel 4 are now showing trailers for this show, all about tech support staff. It looks dammed funny, but I can't find any mention of it anywhere. I'll let you know more when I find out about it.

[john]

[mac_shinobi]

The I.T. Crowd is the new sitcom from Graham Linehan (Father Ted, Black Books) and produced by Ash Atalla (The Office).

 

The I.T. Crowd centres on the worlds of Roy (Chris O’Dowd, Festival), Moss (Richard Ayoade, Garth Marenghi, Nathan Barley) and Jen (Katherine Parkinson). They make up the I.T. department in a glamorous office. But while their beautiful colleagues work upstairs in fantastic surroundings, Roy, Moss and Jen work in a dark basement dismissed by their colleagues as geeky idiots.

 

Roy and Moss are your standard I.T. nerds. Jen is their boss - she thought she had applied for a job upstairs. But gradually, Jen becomes part of the strange world of Roy and Moss. Things will never be the same again…

Nice to be back

 

This look good thanks for the info

[sahmeepee]

I saw a forum where people who'd been in the "live studio audience" were discussing its merits. Mostly they were slagging off that guy out of Nathan Barley though. I will try to dig out a link.

 

EDIT! It's in a thread on the Cook'd and bomb'd forum - The first review is on page 2 (of 19!)

[GrumbleDook]

I don't know ... I am the one who spends 4 days walking around handing out flyers ... drumming up support ... chatting with people at SSAT, MS, Apple ...

 

and what do I get ... a few WiFi Trekkers ...

 

and what does Russ get ... a MacBook Pro to review and early access to TV shows ...

 

Something is wrong here

 

I'm off to sulk somewhere ...

[russdev]

lol

 

and we are very grateful for all you do....

 

anyway reason get all this is due to in previous life did lot work for websites from reviews of tv programs to writing articles so still have quite few contacts
