PLOT:
The comedic misadventures of Roy, Moss and their grifting supervisor Jen, a rag-tag team of IT support workers at a large corporation headed by a hotheaded yuppie.
season 1 -
Jen starts at Reynholm Industries as the IT manager. But it turns out she doesn't know anything about computers. Denholm invites a stress expert when he starts a war against stress. Jen has a shoe problem which has a serious effect. When Roy gets dumped after a date, he starts believing that girls go for "bad boys" and creates a fake profile on a dating site and, surprisingly, gets a response. Meanwhile, Jen starts flirting with a security guard. Moss puts a picture of his head on his cup to make sure it doesn't get lost. Curious about the red door behind Roy's desk, Jen ignores the boys' warnings never to open it, and goes in. She finds the vampiric Richmond inside. Jen goes on a bad date with a colleague, Bill. Not wanting to ever see Bill again, she asks Moss to come up with a lie that would send Bill away for good if he comes to visit her. Moss panics under pressure and tells Bill that Jen is dead. Jen has her period and she starts to see the same symptoms in the boys. They say it's impossible but they reconsider after they start having the same symptoms as Jen. They're even given their own website after talking about it online.
season 2 -
Jen's new boyfriend invites Roy, Moss and Jen to a controversial theatre play, which creates a series of misunderstandings that end up having unintended consequences of epic proportions. Denholm dies and they have to go to the funeral and Roy is worried about dying. Jen complains that Roy and Moss spend too much time together, so Moss takes a German cooking class. Jen has met someone normal, and plans for a nice dinner party. Things go awry when Jen invites her workmates after her original male guests cancel. To help Jen with her bra discomfort, Moss miraculously invents the most comfortable bra in the world, so the gang decides to patent it without fully testing the product first. Moss also invents an alter ego to promote the product. Jen is offered a promotion but can she trust Douglas. The boys see this as an opportunity to goof off.
season 3 -
Moss is menaced by a gang of bullies at the park, Roy is forced to lend Douglas 20 pounds and becomes obsessed with getting it back, and Jen's home is worked on by someone Roy suspects to be the infamous Builder from Hell. Roy and Moss' attempt to bluff their way through conversations using generic football-guy-talk goes catastrophically out of control when Roy befriends the wrong crowd. Meanwhile, Jen dates a man who looks like a magician to everyone. Douglas is forced to wear anti-sexual arousal pants after an incident with Jen. Jen looks for work elsewhere. Beyond his control, Roy finds himself shirtless and thrown out of the building. Annoyed by the fact that Jen has inexplicably been declared the Employee of the Month, Moss and Roy play a prank on her to expose her ignorance about the internet. Douglas and a hot newswoman with a secret past fall madly in love. Friendface: a place to make new friends on the internet, or is it? Jen gets seriously hooked and gets Roy and Moss to join her after mentioning Scrabble and women. Roy makes a move on a girl on the 7th floor. He ends up fund raising for people with her brother's condition. She suggests a nude calendar with girls of the 7th floor. Roy'll take the photos. Jen doesn't buy it. It doesn't go as planned.
season 4 -
Jen has to entertain a group of visiting sexist yuppie executives looking for a raunchy good time. Her solution is a role playing game with the IT crowd. Moss also uses the game to help Roy get over his breakup with the love of his life. Roy tries to locate a window cleaner who left his ladders in his flat, Moss becomes a member of the strange, secret, elite club of Countdown champions, and Jen investigates what's going on in the Heads of Department meetings. Douglas falls under the spell of a crazy mystic, and Jen falls under the spell of a geeky keyboard player. Moss finds it all most entertaining and worthy of popcorn. Meanwhile, Roy is forced to sue his masseur for sexual harassment. Moss is obsessed with an iPhone in an arcade game. Roy is obsessed with a water park fire. Jen is obsessed with speaking Italian. Moss and Roy blow off work and miss a party at work they really, really needed to attend, especially since instead they wander into a restricted zone where police suspect an abandoned package is a bomb. Douglas' dead wife returns and sues him. Jen acts as his defense council, and Roy and Moss as his character witnesses. Moss discovers the power of women's slacks. Roy's problems with a little-person barista turns him and Jen into social pariahs and global hate figures thanks to the internet.
