Havent had this much fun since AbFab. As a neophyte 3rd world denizen, a sitcom as brilliant as IT crowd certainly lights up my fire. Please keep the BitTorrent streams comming. If you think China is far away, then you should try LA. The cello performance was absolutely brilliant :) Absolutely love this show. Havent had this much fun since AbFab.
