Title: "The IT Crowd" and "Countdown"
Post by: narzo on July 02, 2010, 01:46:08 PM

apparently on the new episode of "The IT Crowd", that runs in the UK tonight, Moss is a contestant on "Countdown".  Not that I encourage posting of copyrighted material but if anyone happens to stumble upon an upload of my favorite brit-com meeting my favorite game show, this yankee would be most appreciative.  

If you haven't seen "The IT Crowd", do yourself a favor and find the show, it's BRILLIANT.  First 3 series' have run here and number 4 is under way in England.

Just snagged it from, um, not just any box dot co dot uk.

I've never seen the series before, so some of the character development was lost on me. The Countdown bits started weak but got progressively better with a laugh-out-loud topper at the end. The rest of the show ... well, meh. A laugh track? In 2010?

Not the first, and likely not the last.

It does actually have a live audience (I know people who have been to the recordings), although presumably it's sweetened.

If I'd known the 8+ club existed, perhaps I would have risked more words in my appearance :)
