I have watched the series and have it on a hard drive. It still puts me in stitches when I watch some of the episodes. It is a 'geeky' humor that computer types understand.

They did develop a US pilot of the series. The original Moss character was the same (Richard Ayoade), but the Roy part was a different actor. It was okay but never got picked up by the networks.

Yea I saw the Pilot they did for the US, and thank god it didn’t get picked up, even though the pilot was virtually identical to the British episode one line for line, it just didn’t work.. they had the guy from Talk Soup play Roy and it just didn’t work.... it was poorly casted IMHO. Much like the attempt at making Red Dwarf for the US.
