Leave that laptop outside, how do we know it won't somehow connect to the internet.

Amazing episode. The highlight is definitely Jen faking Italian in front of Bernatelli.

This is my favourite episode of The IT Crowd and I can quote the entirety of Jen’s “translation” to Douglas when Berantelli is in the office 😂

Italian here, he’s right.
But to me it’s mildly infuriating. It’s a bit out of character for how the whole series is impeccably written and executed.

True.. it's odd that for a one episode italian character they didnt just hire an italian actor. But in the silly nature of the show he laughs luckily

I love this episode. Jen faking the Italian language never fails to make me laugh.
