Have you tried turning it off and on again?

The IT Crowd Aired From February 03, 2006 - July 30, 2010 On Channel 4.

The Plot:
The IT Crowd centres on Roy, Moss and Jen. They make up the I.T. department of Reynholm Industries. However, while their social betters work upstairs in fantastic surroundings,  Roy, Moss and Jen work in a horrible dark basement underneath it all. Jen knows nothing about computers whilst Roy and Moss are total geeks.

Jen is a career person who is looking to climb the corporate ladder. Unfortunately, due to fibbing on her CV (resumé), she finds herself the manager of the IT Department. The problem is, she knows nothing about technology! Roy and Moss make up the IT Department and share a love of technology, science fiction and not having to work if at all possible. What they don't like is the idea of being supervised by someone who knows nothing about computers.

Seeing that Roy and Moss may know a lot about computers, but very little about working with people, Jen takes on the role of "Relationship Manager" to help the guys and help herself in the process.

The second series continues on from where the last left off (with Richmond the goth remaining in the department), but there is one big change - Douglas Reynholm, son of Denholm, has taken over being the boss of Reynholm industries.

The IT Crowd is a playful and somewhat surreal look at what it's really like to be the underof every company - the IT Department.

The Cast:

Chris O'Dowd	Roy
Richard Ayoade	Moss
Katherine Parkinson	Jen
Christopher Morris	Denholm
