The IT Crowd

Anyone in the UK watch the pilot tonight? New comedy about IT people (I know you techies who work the helplines can tell some funny stuff) written by Graham Lineham and has Chris "surreal/satire comedy god" Morris in as well as Dean Learner from Darkplace.

Have to say, I see this being a good series. Hilarious opening double-bill.

Was wondering when they'd do a show on the hell IT technicians have to go through.

Yea, I saw it. I could see it was going to be good from that first "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" line, and that taking the prostitutes to the fair story was great.

I was really glad to see that Green Wing's coming back too.

You can watch the next episode online (legally). Channel 4 are putting them on the web before they're out on TV.

Edit: Well.. nevermind. I'm a very silly boy and C4 have taken the link down. Apparently the third episode (50/50) will be up on the website later on in the week though... umm (shuffles off)

Yeah, Green Wing season 1 will be on DVD when the second season starts I see.

Shame, I'd have liked to have been able to download them all. Would have saved forking out for the DVD when it comes out.

Sounds about right. The DVD is out on the 3rd or April I see.

Was it wrong that I got kinda turned on when that really hot woman from upstairs came down and started beating the shite out of Roy?

The red head beating the shit out of Roy and the girl actually in the basement with them are both exceedingly hot, yes.

The one who was beating Roy with her shoe had black hair, the redhead is Jen.

No, the girl that beat him up was a readhead too, but more darker red than Jen.

Yes, yes she is.

I liked it too. Chris Morris is brilliant. And i can see many helpdesk lines being in the upcoming episodes.

"Its not working"
"riight. Wanna tell me the problem?"

Really? Must be my shitty TV ariel playing up again, I'm stuck without any digital at the moment. Anyway, I concur, yes, they were both extremely hot. But then I guess that goes back to Chris's line "We're all hot, young, sexy people here having affairs!" or whatever it was...
