The Richmond scene with "oh look Richmond's still alive" line seemed rather forced with his appearance being for the sake of proving him still being in the series.


Almost like they were mocking various other sitcoms...

Did last Friday's episode get any complaints at all from anyone? I could see how some people (with little humour) may find something somwhere to groan about.

Oh don't, I can just see the headline in tomorrow's Daily Mail..

I love The IT Crowd. It is so bloody funny and I do not think the show has gone downhill at all.

So be it, what is wrong with that. I thought it was nice to see him back. I didn't think it was 'forced' at the time (and still don't now), and even if I did, why would it be a bother? He was in more than just the "Richmond's still alive" bit - he did the "an ill wind is blowing" bit, convincing them that something bad would happen, because of the crow and the TV reception, and he lost his copy of Heat. You could just as easily say that the three main characters seemed forced, "just to show that they were still there".

The office doesn't seem to have as many 'props' in it this time around, it looks slightly empty.

- Perhaps Jen got them to tidy it up!

I quite enjoyed last night's episode, I found it much better than last weeks. I guess with Chris Morris apparently working on a 'secret' project he wasn't able (or willing) or take part in the entire second series.
