Hilarious dinner party scenario.

"Superb"

This series has been a delight and this episode a classic among many. It was brilliantly written and the acting was superb. Moss and Roy are just genius and it was great to see Richmond have more to do than is usually the case. It was really funny to see them all chatting up the girls at the dinner party. Thankfully Jen saw through the pompous idiot that was Peter File and of course there were loads of gags based on his name. This just has to be some of the best TV comedy around right now and really hard to beat.moreless

I've made it clear in numerous reviews when other programs have done this that the dinner party is an overdone concept that is just too generic for my taste. That being said, my bias could not get in the way of me enjoying that episode. Richmond was given more time than usual here and he flourished with it. Noel Fielding is such a talented comedic actor and almost all of his lines just have you in stitches. Of course Moss was great as well yelling that he was tired when he instantly sat down, and defending how he washed his hands upon his quick return from the bathroom.

The "Peter File" scene was just perfectly acted out as well. You won't find brilliant writing like this anywhere else on TV and as far as The IT Crowd goes this may be the show's finest episode ever.moreless

- Moss: I said, do you think you'll die if you drink wee? Richmond: I don't know, but it's a bloody good question. Edit
- Jen: So, who's for dessert? Roy: (looking at the bowl and spoon in his hands) Isn't this dessert? Jen: No, that's tartare sauce. Edit
- Jen: I'm sitting you beside Margaret. Moss: Margaret. From her name I presume she's a lady? Jen: Yes. She's very nice. She got divorced recently, but I should say when she's had a few drinks, she tends to get a bit ... over-excited. Moss: needs to go to the toilet a lot. Yeah, that happens to me. I try to think of something dry, that helps. Like a desert or Shredded Wheat. Edit
