Intelligent comedy May 4, 2009

Gosh! What an extraordinary creation. Brilliantly written, superbly acted - the cast play together so well that the script almost disappears. So funny I hurt from laughing so much. Didn't like it at first. But now, goodness me, I belly laugh at the sweet comedy!! I have fallen in love with it!!
Wonderful Linehan Comedy August 28, 2009

Graham Linehan surely must be one of the most talented comedy writer/directors of recent years. Father Ted, Black Boooks and then this - top quality stuff and good enough to keep you crying with laughter.
I can remember that the first series got a rather tentative write up when it was first aired, and in an interview on the 3rd DVD Linehan even admits that the 1st series didn't quite hit the mark. I can't see it myself - the 1st series is as funny as its successors and benefits from a fair degree of freshness - it's hard to find any reason to criticise it. Perhaps the rather conventional sitcom settings that Linehan produces in his comedy might seem rather unadventurous to the more demanding audience members, but the writing is what makes this so special. Linehan also seems to have a knack of bringing high quality performers into his productions and O'Dowd, Ayoade and Parkinson work wonderfully together. They are well supported by a number of other actors, including Noel Fielding who plays the gloomy goth Richmond and Chris Morris and Matt Berry who play the trio's successive (and appalingly overbearing) bosses.
There are a few extras, including outtakes, deleted scenes, set tours and the like and the Ken Korda (Adam Buxton) documentary on the first disc had me aching with laughter. The 3rd deries interview with Linehan suggets that there's at least one more series to come, which will keep this idiot in suspense fora while.
This stuff just doesn't get old.

Graham Linehan at his best ... August 8, 2009

This show is a must for lovers of Father Ted, Black Books and Big Train. Graham Linehan combines the silliness of Father Ted, with the wit of Fawlty Towers. The show revolves around three IT workers: Roy, a slobby comic book reader, Moss, an 'uber-geek' who lives with his mother, and Jen, the opposite of both of them, who knows nothing about comp-uters.
Graham Linehan's best work, the show is not a repetition of Father Ted or Black Books. Linehan has not recycled his past work, and has given the show a modern twist. All the episodes are unique, and I can hardly say a critical word about them. Series One and Two are the best ones, the third is a little more average but still hilarious. Everyone's favourite seems to be 'Work Outing' in which Roy, Moss and Jen get dragged into a gay musical, and end up impersonating the theatre staff and pretending to be a disabled homosexual just to get home. The worst episode is probably 'Return of the Golden Child', simply because there is more plot than there are jokes.
The episodes are so funny, even the extras are fantastic. The only problem there is is that Richmond, the lovable goth and my favourite character, was absent from the third series. But still, all episodes are certainly worth watching. The DVDs include loads of extras, so once you've finished with the episodes there is still much more.
This is a bargain for the amount of enjoyment you will get out of this, and I would definitely recommend it anyone who enjoyed Linehan's past work.

This is another display of comedy unlike other shows. It's got the feel of Black Books combined with the nerdy and geeky ways of an IT department with a department manager that knows nothing about computers and a general manager that's insane!
I defy anyone not to laugh at the wheelchair scene, or marvel at the genius of the "April" episode.
If this show has a flaw it's that there were so few episodes. If you're a fan of Graham Linehan's Black Books, then you'll love this series. Buy it. It'll make you happy.
