Those outside the UK could try using a VPN, like https://vpnuk.info/

That’s too much hassle …

it is out in the torrent world as well … not that I would ever use that …

…and that torrent might, theoretically, be called “The.IT.Crowd.S04E01.WS.4oD.XViD-COWARD.avi”. :D

The important question here is which – if any – proxy services are actually worthy of a subscription?

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

I’ve just re-watched the entire series on casttv.com in anticipation of the event. “The Work Outing” episode is possibly the best piece of comedic timing I’ve ever seen.

The first three seasons are can be streamed on Netflix, so this season should end up there too if you don’t want to torrent.

Thanks CJP. Great clip. I watched the first year after being turned on to it by Cory, but lost interest during the sophomore season. This I now realize was a huge mistake.

For the record: IMHO the prize for all-time best comedic timing is shared between Bob Newhart and Betty White.

A year and a half since the third season?

Six episodes a season?

Who does Channel 4 think they are? HBO?

Yeah, I’ll be watching. No, I won’t be paying for a VPN. :D

Thanks for the heads-up Cory, I can’t wait. I guess I’m one the few people who can deal with delayed gratification, I’ll wait for the Season 4 box set to come out and complete my collection.

cjp, you are 100% correct. That is the funniest episode of the series, imho.

k88dad, 1.5 years is nothing. Boondocks fans wait about 3 years between seasons. Totally worth it tho. It’s the best animated show ever.

BBC was doing the quality over quantity thing long before HBO picked it up.

And personally I,ll take the wait and the short seasons over the stream of pale insipid watered down pap that often passes for a sitcom in the States.

By: Rider

Rider — Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000

People eat the pap up though, Smart sitcoms sink in the ratings while mindless drivel like Everybody Loves Raymond and Two and Half Men are huge hits. The networks just give the drooling masses what they want.

Could someone please explain the appeal of this show to me? The wife and I tried to watch it after hearing many good things, but gave up after three episodes. We thought it was absolutely awful, just as cliched, lazy, and and obnoxious as “Everybody Loves Raymond,” “King of Queens” or “The Big Bang Theory.” The latter has also been recommended to me due to my undeniable nerdiness, but I don’t believe a bad comedy becomes good simply because the poorly written characters happen to share, nominally, certain interests with me.

I admit the set designers are talented and passionate, but for me, this was exactly the kind of banal “Britcom” that Ricky Gervais pilloried so brilliantly in “Extras.”

I wanted to like the IT Crowd, and feel like I went in with a more than open mind. So tell me, fellow mutants, what am I missing about the “IT Crowd?”

You have to remember that unlike the mass produced stuff on the US networks sitcoms in the UK are written by individuals or (more normally) pairs of writers. They can’t and don’t churn out a whole ‘season’ of blandities… you get a series of 6

Most British TV works in series of 6, ‘seasons’ are something different

‘I admit the set designers are talented and passionate, but for me, this was exactly the kind of banal “Britcom” that Ricky Gervais pilloried so brilliantly in “Extras.” ‘

I think that’s part of what Graham Lineham was aiming for; a traditional studio based sitcom performed in front of an audience.

japroach, I’ll share with you the mad hacking skills I used to find it:

I went to my browser whatseewhosit, and typed in “youtube.com.” When the magic youtube picture loaded, I typed in “IT Crowd Series 4″ in to the little white rectangle. (Actually, I only had to type in “IT” before it popped up in the suggestion list.) Then I pressed return.

It was a little less satisfying than just dropping an f-bomb at some other poster, but it achieved the desired results.

I agree with you.

And I hope the last scene of the very last episode involves the inevitable Yakkity-Sax chase scene, a la Benny Hill.
