If you work in technology, or even if you don’t, the Channel 4 sitcom The IT Crowd will have resonated with you. Friday saw the airing of a final one-off episode of the sitcom about the geeks in the IT department at Renholm Industry.
I have always loved the show, but as a reporter with CBR, I work with computers and funnily enough, like Moss, Roy and Jen, I am stuck in the basement office of our building, so I had more empathy for the characters this time round!
Here’s a look back at who said what about computers, the Internet and RAM in The IT Crowd:
Roy: Hello, IT. Have you tried turning it off and on again?
Roy: Don’t Google the question, Moss!

Moss: Unbelievable! Some idiot disabled his firewall, meaning all the computers on floor seven are teeming with viruses, plus I’ve just had to walk all the way down the motherfudging stairs, because the lifts are broken again!
Jen: Oh my God.
Roy: What?
Jen: Denhom’s dead!
Moss: Oh yes – and Denholm’s dead!
Jen: Keep the conversation about things that would interest everybody. You know, nothing about memory or RAM.
Moss: Memory is RAM!
Jen: With all due respect John, I am the head of IT and I have it on good authority that if you type "Google" into Google, you can break the Internet. So please, no one try it, even for a joke.
Jen: IT, what does I.T. mean? Someone’s just asked me.
Moss: You don’t know what it means?
Jen: No, I never thought to ask.
Moss: This must be Jen!
Moss: My mum’s on Friendface! My mum! I’ve opened up another line of communication with her!
Roy: I don’t want Anonymous after me, I’m in Anonymous.
Douglas: How goes it in the world of computers, or PC World if you will?
