The IT Crowd gives us a brilliantly funny treat every week and this was no exception. This week Moss and Roy feel like they are a stagnant old married couple so Jen suggests they go out and meet other people. This leads to Moss meeting up with a german canibal that he mistakenly thinks is going to give him lessons in German cookery. Roy is desperate to see a DVD before someone tells him the twist in the plot and ends up trying to see it at Douglas, the crazy boss's house. Jen finds that being a smoker these days is pretty difficult as you are now exiled to some godawful concrete area outside in the freezing cold. Great stuff!moreless

- Moss: It turns out he didn't want to teach me how to cook. He wanted to cook me. Jen: What? Moss: He wanted to eat me. I know, egg and my face were in alignment. Edit
- Jen: I'm off. Douglas is coming down. Roy: Douglas? Why? Jen: To be honest with you, he's been making advances. You know, little things like asking me if I'd like to go for a ride in his helicopter. Roy: Oh, I'd like to go for a ride in a helicopter. Jen: Well grow a pair of tits. Roy: Tell you what, if I did have tits, I wouldn't mind letting someone have a go on them for a ride in a helicopter. Edit
- Moss: (to Jen) Roy and I are becoming like an old married couple. Roy: Will you please stop saying that? I'm the husband. Moss: We seem to do the same thing, day in, day out. I'm stagnating, Jen. I'm like a packet of crisps on the roof. Edit
