The IT Crowd THE IT CROWD

SERIES 1 - First broadcast 2006

1. Yesterday's Jam

The unloved, ignored, socially-awkward Roy and Moss make up the I.T. department of Reynholm Industries. Their world is shattered by the arrival of a new 'relationship manager', Jen, a young woman who knows as much about computers as your average 17th-century farmer.

Roy and Moss are annoyed by Jen's obvious lack of computer literacy, while Jen is equally gutted to be exiled to 'middle earth', a dingy basement where the I.T. department is located. However, it isn't long before Roy and Moss realise that a female presence in their team can have its benefits...

First broadcast: 3rd Feb 2006
