The IT Crowd is a British sitcom by Channel 4, written by Graham Linehan, produced by Ash Atalla and starring Chris O'Dowd, Richard Ayoade, Katherine Parkinson and Matt Berry. The "IT" in the show's title can be pronounced as either the word it /ˈɪt/, as in "the 'it' crowd", or as the letters IT /ˌaɪˈtiː/, as in the abbreviation for information technology. Set in the London offices of the fictional Reynholm Industries, the show revolves around the three staff members of its IT department: a geeky genius named Maurice Moss , the workshy Roy Trenneman , and Jen... Barber , the department head/Relationship Manager, who knows nothing about IT. The show also focuses on the bosses of Reynholm Industries: Denholm Reynholm and his son Douglas . The comedy premiered on Channel 4 on 3 February 2006, and has run for four series of 6 episodes each. Although a fifth series was commissioned, Graham Linehan announced on 20 October 2011 that there won't be a fifth series, only an extended special in 2012 with the possibility of a film afterwards.
