Product Description The IT Crowd sitcom 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... Is it in, on, out or it? There's a lot going on behind the scenes of the software development community! This fab Channel 4 comedy continues into its second series and is written by Graham Linehan, the co-creator of Father Ted, and Black Books. The IT Crowd Cast: Roy - Chris O'Dowd (Red Cap); Moss - Richard Ayoade (Nathan Barley); Jen - Katherine Parkinson (Doc Martin); Mr Denholm - Chris Morris (Brass Eye and On The Hour). All episodes in series (version) 2 are on this DVD. Amazon.co.uk Review In the cluttered basement of a corporate skyscraper dwells the IT department of Reynholm Industries, composed of three misfits: Slacker Roy (Chris O'Dowd), technogeek Moss (Richard Ayoade), and Jen (Katherine Parker), an ambitious but incompetent executive who knows nothing about technology yet wound up as head of the department. As the second season begins, these three have settled into a friendly relationship, but the revelation of financial misdoings turns the corporation itself topsy-turvy. Each episode takes a simple premise and escalates to absurd heights. Moss decides to take a cooking class and ends up friends with a German cannibal; Jen finally gets a new boyfriend... who turns out to have an extremely unfortunate name; Jen's bra doesn't fit well, sending Moss on an inventing spree that may skyrocket Jen up the chain of command. The best episode opens the season, when a trip to the theater turns into a festival of appalling misunderstandings; it's a perfectly orchestrated farce that culminates in Roy trapped in a wheelchair despite having no injuries at all. Perhaps the only off-note is a goth IT guy named Richmond who recurs but rarely meshes with the rest of the tightly wound plots. But that's a minor quibble, as the rest of the cast is excellent. Ayoade turns introverted genius into comic gold, in a similar vein to Jim Parsons on The Big Bang Theory; fans of that show should definitely give this British cousin a look. Created by the delightful writer/director Graham Linehan, who previously worked on Father Ted and Black Books. --Bret Fetzer, Amazon.com
