| Quote: django "Black Books was great, the first series of the IT Crowd, however, was a total miss for me. Thats because the writers appeared to know sod-all about IT departments so all the attempted "IT jokes" fell flat. Series 2 onwards, however, they've seemed to shift their attention to places of work in general so actually know what they're joking about. The episode where the smokers end up "banished to siberia" was pure genius!
Being an IT professional I would agree with it from what I have seen. Though can't remember ever laughing at it.

| I like The IT Crowd though it has improved with each series. The best episode was when they're at the musical "Gay!"
Of what's discussed so far I don't get the following, somebody must like 'em but it sure as hell ain't me.
Bo Selecta
Mighty Boosh
The Inbetweeners
Gavin & Stacey
Jimmy Carr
Flight of the Concordes
All that other crap like X Factor, I'm a celeb, type crap is for kids and fekkwits.
As for soaps I haven't watched Corrie since the Ogdens were in it. T'wife watches Enders as a guilty pleasure but it sends me running for another room.
I do get The League of Gentlemen though, that's pure quality.

I saw that a few weeks back and did think it was very good. Had never seen it before. The following week I got our lass to watch the IT Crowd telling her it was really good but thenext episode was really week in comparison. I do quite fasncy the bird in it though.

She's the one in the matleser ads isn't she?
I quite like the IT crowd but don't watch it religiously.

The Inbetweeners is great, give it a few episodes and you will like it.

I'm not sure. One generally tries to avoid commercial televison doncha know.
She falls into the 'pretty fit but attainable' category that I do find endearing.

I don't get why they do it, I have no interest in any of the exercises on show, I am not fit, I don't go to a gym, they're Aussies......

That's just because you don't have a system or understand the power of psychic projection.

| The Day Today was genius, but I couldn't watch Brass Eye. It was too much and only funny in a cringeworthy sort of way.
I never got Fawlty Towers. I have tried and tried to watch it but I find it tiresome and predictable. There are some great scenes, "what do expect to see from a Torquay hotel window madam..", but most of it was unwatchable and irritating.
