    I don't find it funny at all. Mind you, I didn't think much of Father Ted at first and then ended up loving it.

    May be it's because I used to work closely with an IT department and can see what potential this programme could have. It just seems really lame and OTT witout being funny and the writer has wasted such a good opportunity.

    It'll probably settle down eventually. Watched the first episode and think it tried to cram too many laughs in, but the sterotypes are recognisable... apart from the nerdy one.

    I only saw one episode and I wasn't impressed. I was expecting a lot with Graham Linehan at the helm and Chris Morris in the cast, but it was a bit of a disappointment... and was it just be or was the laugh track more annoying than usual? Maybe it'll get better as the show progresses, but I'm not holding my breath.

    Also, a friend commented on the irony that the downloadable episodes are DRM-encumbered, while the show has EFF stickers visable in the background.

    Such a funny show. I love it. I went on work experience at an IT department and they answer the phone like Roy!

    Anyone spot the Commodore PET in the office?
    Rarely laugh out loud at the TV but did with the last two episodes, I don't think it was Elton John.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    Hahaha! Got me lol'ing at that :)


    Great show, it's clearly way OTT and silly but that's why I think I like it so much. I had a cold last week and could do a great impression of the guy with the curly hair :D
