Are you talking about IT information technology crowd or IT as in spending the afternoon in Prada before posing for paparazzi outside a Mayfair bar crowd? I've just gathered it's probably a TV show!!!!!

Even the non IT "gags" were rubbish.

Nope, I thought they needed a few more one sided geeks - I think they credited those two with far too many personalities for such a small dept and they needed a few more 'normal' people to show what its really like. sayng that, I did recognise some of our tech team in those two!!

On a sacle of 1-10 i would give it a 5

It was predictable, funny in parts but mostly old gags and predictable. There is much better comedy out there

yup agree as well.
when you work in IT and a comedy comes along, you think, mmm could be a laugh and then you get presented with that pile of poo ...
jesus the guy with the glasses just spoiled the whole thing.

waste of program space IMHO

I must be the only one who quite enjoyed it - yes it was ridiculous but WHO couldn't find a laugh at Chris Morris in that lycra cycling outfit declaring a 'war on stress' or that new emergency number ad - Just call ' 0118 999 118 991 7523' - nobody giggled at that ??

but...my feeling is that they used Father Ted as a character template...

F-site better than a lot of stuff out there purporting to be comedy.
Certainly in a different league to the one episode of Chris Evans' OFT sh*t I saw, where he used the program as a public vehicle to drag his ex over the coals - had a nerdy sailor review plastic tiawanese sh*t and a funny gay indian sidekick to choose which member of the public to humiliate next -

Thankfully that must have been canned after two awful episodes cos it's disssappearedd!!!

I wasn't impressed at all. I was sitting there watching it and thinking "when am I supposed to laugh, where are the funny bits".

There weren't any.

I thought it was quite funny, Jen's quite easy on the eye though, bit of a Scully clone.
