Season 2 of the IT Crowd announced
Britain's Channel 4 has just announced the second season schedule for The IT Crowd, the geeky sitcom that rocked my socks when it debuted last season. They've posted some video of creator Graham Linehan (who also created the brilliant sitcom Father Ted) talking about the second season -- but they've region-locked it so I have no idea what it's like.
Boy, that's dumb. I thought that it was dumb to region-lock the web-previews of the show last season, but they supposedly had to do this due to their territorial deals -- but surely there's no territorial deal on Graham talking about the show. Someone put this on the Pirate Bay, please. Link (Thanks to everyone who sent this in!)

Update: Thanks to Michael, we now have a 58-second WMV rip of the stream.

I seem to be a harsh critic of comedy by everyone else's standards, but IMO this show JTSed in episode 5. This latest did nothing to change my opinion.
