Is this another British show that takes year and a half breaks between 6-episode seasons?

No it was regular but stopped a while back and thats it. People love it so much they keep talking about a comeback but thats not happening.

The 6-episode season part is correct. Only four 6-episode seasons, so only 24 episodes total. I could really do with more!

I watched the first couple of episodes on Netflix and had to turn that crap off. Haven't watched it since.

Well what I last saw was they are currently working on, or have planned (or whatever) a feature-length episode to air by the end of this year.

what? you guys can't be serious.

i saw that episode when a computer was caught on fire, and the dude with the afro took his time to put out while reading the instruction on the extinguisher. It was horrible.

I just saw this thread and it made me start from the beginning again. There are some less funny episodes, but I get a good laugh out of it.

It's funny 'cause it's true.

1st line support: Have you tried turning it off and on again?
2nd line support: Tell them to try turning it off and on again.
3rd line support: I've tried turning the server off and on again.

I knew I had given this show a chance and didn't like it for some reason, but that reminded me why... That laugh track/audience is just grating. It's not that I'm one of those pretentious assholes who dismiss all shows with laughter in it (I watch others without issue) it's just that it's too loud or something. I can't really explain it, but I haven't gone past the first episode because of it.
