[kj] The IT Crowd

[Antoni Adamiak]

Interesting ... with Nathan Barley I came in at episode 3 or 4 (by which 
time it was obviously rocking) and saw 5 and 6 on TV ... then picked up on 
the first couple via a bootleg ebay CD ahead of the DVD release ... the 
Barley DVD contains a pilot episode which is less funny though includes 
several ideas developed in the 6 main episodes ... I need to rewatch 
episodes 1 and 2 of the IT Crowd as I've only seen snippets so far (managed 
to tape them though) but it seemed unfunny ...
