Cory Doctorow of boing-boing introduced me — and I believe a whole bunch of other boing-boing readers — to the BBC comedy series “The IT Crowd,” from which I learned the most important lesson for all IT work: “IT – – have you tried to turn it off and on again?”

In the beginning, Cory had been very good at reminding us all to check the torrents whenever a new show had aired. Poor people outside the UK had to resort to that sort of piracy as the BBC online viewing was confined to the UK.

After quite a bit of a hiatus after the end of the second season, I was ready for my third season, and I immediately found the first show of season 3 and enjoyed it immensely.

But, Cory, either I did not read Boing Boing with enough attention, or you slacked off — fact is, I did not learn of the release of the following episodes.

Finally, I remembered the other day; went ISO hunting and found out that the third season was already over. Sad in a way, but good in another because there was a torrent with all six episodes in one file.

Believe it or not — I had an IT Crowd marathon that night, and it was so good that now I am revisiting the first two seasons again. For all of you, to save you the searching, here are all three seasons in one place…

Update 2026: The torrents I had linked here were not working anymore – who would have guessed after so many years? But the info was outdated anyway; there was a fourth season (unfortunately no more), and they should be easy to find on The Pirate Bay.
