'The IT Crowd' UK Sit-com

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the waiting-for-the-torrent dept.

Nigsy writes "The Register reports that "A new sitcom - set among IT workers in the dingy basement of a glamorous company - is due to arrive on the UK's Channel 4 next month. The IT Crowd, written by Graham Linehan (the scribe behind Father Ted, Black Books), will debut on the internet on 27 January, a week before its terrestrial broadcast on Friday, 3 February at 9.30pm."" Here's hoping that they have a consultant on the show to make it technically accurate.

    If past performance is any indication, it should be spot on. Father Ted was the most accurate depiction to date of the priest's life.

    It's a recipe for wackyness when a linux vs. bsd flamewar breaks out and the flamboyantly gay sidekick has a date with two men on the same night at the same time! Bronson Pinchot guest stars.

    Where does the school board find them and why do they keep sending them to ME?

    Let's just see how geeky you think the IT department is after I format your drive, toss the backup, and submit your 'candid holiday snaps' to a few dozen gay singles websites, along with your name, address, work number, and personal cell number, shall we?

    I think you got "geeky" confused with "fired".
