Does anyone else watch this show? Its a great little UK comedy about people who work in the IT department of a very large corporation and the ridiculous shenanigans they get into.

The first ep of season 3 was just brilliant, I thought. The last ep of S2 was a little disappointing, but I found S3E1 to be absolutely hilarious!

English television, meh...

[Trotts]

You know you have a gem of a program when the episode ends with the geeky IT guy waving a gun in the face of his bullies. A mother flippin gun!

[Dr Trouble]

I'm a fan. I wasn't expecting this to be released, so it came as quite a surprise.

And of course it was hilarious!

[Aleksandrov]

Wow, Deja vu.

I first watched this 2 days ago, have no idea what series that was. (It was the one when the dude with the frizzy hair finds out how many days he has to live from those online questionnaires.) It was before Fawlty Towers, so I figured why not.

It's okay, better than the crap comedy we get here normally. But it's on at like 11pm at night so I might have to pass on it.

I've only ever watched the first series. Maybe I should have a look for series 2 somewhere, see if it's worth taking it up again. It was funny in parts, but a bit hit-and-miss, I thought. Mostly through lack of any actual coherant stroyline that I noticed.

Series 2 was much better than 1, although I didn't see it all and I was drunk for a lot of the bits I did see - the curse of Friday nights. The guy who plays Sange in Garth Merengi's Darkplace is in it now and he just has to speak to have me giggling. "Faaaaatheeeeeeeerrrrrrrr" Series 3 started well. I read somewhere that they've gone more silly with it this series. It's written by the guy who did Father Ted, if that will persuade anyone to watch it.

EDIT - Changed season to series! Damn these Americanisms slipping into my vocabulary!!!

Yup.I'm a big fan and have worked in an IT department and used those exact same words to some dick in the 4th floor. Just turn it off and turn it back on again...Quality!

[Sir Thursday]

The first episode of the second season is one of the funniest episodes of TV I've ever seen, on par with Arrested Development's Pier Pressure. The situation just keeps getting more and more absurd...it's not normally the sort of thing I'd find hilarious, but for some reason it struck a chord and by the end I couldn't stop laughing. Brilliant.

Plus it has an awesome theme tune .

Right, time to go and find this new episode.

[Trotts]

Yea I think that ep was the Work Outing one right? That is one of my favourite episodes

[frookenhauer]

I'm watching season 2 right now on movie forumz and nothing beats the bra on fire scene...

But what about "I'm disabled!" ?

That's definitely the best episode from series 2!! I also really liked the one with the cannibal.

[frookenhauer]

Sorry...It was awesome! somehow you managed to convey his voice perfectly ...Damnit season 2 episode 1 is WIN,

But come on the bra on fire in Dragons den was delicious

[Trotts]

The best scene from Work Outing was when Jen was backstage and then Roy was there, "....red bearded man......acid......" and then turning around to find Moss right there serving drinks ahahah.


The bra one was great too, but really every scene with Moss is the best scene Four, I mean five, I mean fire!

[frookenhauer]

Actually all three characters are well thought out...But Moss is greeat!

"Ah Paris!" ..."Never been there!" Brilliant

And his bollocking to the people who turned off the anti virus while Denolm falls to the ground was simply inspired!

[Sir Thursday]

I wish they hadn't killed off Denham elder - he was far better than the younger guy.


Sir Thursday

[frookenhauer]

Yup, the new one is a complete idiot with no redeeming features. The old one was a complete idiot with no redeeming features. I like the old one for obvious reasons.

[Trotts]

Yea, I really preferred the Denholm elder (Its a party, hes a hitlerogram!) But apparently the Denholm younger is quite well known for his comedic acting. It just feels too over the top, and not in a good way!

[frookenhauer]

Lets all hate denholm the younger!

Man, I can't find any streams of series 3 anywhere and series 2 episode 3 and 6 are not working wherever I go...Damn you internet!
