"The high-rise towers of Reynholm Industries are full of go-getters, success stories, and winners... apart from in the basement. While their beautiful colleagues work in fantastic surroundings, Jen, Roy and Moss lurk below ground, scorned and mocked by their co-workers as geeky losers, doomed never to make it back into normal society" says the intro to Channel 4's new sitcom, The IT Crowd. You can watch it online now (wmv stream works fine), or wait until it's broadcast on February 3.
Sounds ominous, but the programme's writer and director, Graham Linehan, is credited for Father Ted (sounds even more ominous) and wrote for Harry Enfield and The Fast Show. And it's produced by Ash Atalla (The Office).
The British Sitcom Guide has the details. There's also a Media Guardian story.
