classic show with a classic D&D storyline!
The way in which Moss uses D&D as a tool to give Roy closure from his break-up.
Best TV Role Playing Moment Evar!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone else watch this?
Ruddy Mysterious!
And of course:
Jen: Is this something to do with sex?
Moss: Far from it, Jen!
Just saw it and was going to post about it myself - absolutely genius! Best role-playing on telly ever! :-)
Eiffel Tower!
Do you know what that slang means? I just urban dictionaried it. Makes the episode even funnier!

Hope this is coming to BBC America soon. It probably won't, given its Channel 4 origins. In any event, the site blocks Americans from seeing the show, so I guess it's time to wait for the DVD.
My girlfriend has all of the previous IT Crowd series on DVD, and we watch them semi-regularly (along with Spaced, Hyperspace, Father Ted, etc.) on her region-free DVD player.
Bliss. :)

BBC America carries some Channel 4 content, so you never know. You might also like Miranda and Not Going Out.
And maybe Black Books, Free Agents, No Heroics and Green Wing.
Here to help.

I can easily imagine some of these lines becoming a part of the culture of things gamers can't help but quote during a session.
For example:
Suit: "It seems gay."
Moss: "Are dragons gay Phil? Mighty warrior priests wielding golden staves- I suppose their gay too?"
"Here are your character sheets. John 1, you're a unicorn man. John 2, you're a wood faerie. And Phil, you're the gypsy assassin Esmerelda!"
The whole D&D thing was well done, didn't feel offensive at all which made me happy.
I know! I started off thinking "Here we go, another lazy insult at a niche hobby with image problems" but as it turned out there were some light-hearted jokes which weren't offensive (to me anyway) and then it actually worked as a session!
I think Moss would make a great convention DM:
"Phil, you're the gypsy assassin Esmerelda!" (thanks ithuriel)

Those outside the UK can stream this episode here
It gives a poker pop up when you click play, fair warning. I imagine the link will work anywhere from a couple days to a couple weeks.
The first show of the first season was hit or miss for me, but from there on it became a love affair. I can't wait to get at the fourth season. I heard they skipped a year because they tried at an American pilot using only the Moss character. The show failed, and worse, without Moss they couldn't shoot the Britcom.
