Information on the UK TV comedy series from Channel 4, The IT Crowd
"Have you tried turning it off and on again?"
The IT Crowd is a UK sitcom that started its run on Friday February 3rd 2006 on Channel 4. It's now into its third series.
The IT Crowd centres around the lives of an IT support staff working away in the forgotten dingy basement of a large company, Reynholm Industries. Roy (the slob) and Moss (the geek) lurk in the basement fielding support calls in the tradition of IT department the world over... "the beatings are bi-weekly". Jen's been recruited by the big boss Denholm, to manage the department... but her lack of knowledge of anything computer-ey may hinder her career development path...
This comedy is written by Graham Lineham, the co-creator of Father Ted, and our personal favourite - Black Books.
