The IT Crowd: team players!


Back again with some brief pieces of the hilarious BBC series The IT Crowd. In this episode, which is the first one, Jen goes to an interview where what she has included in her CV turns against her.

Some vocabulary you may need for this piece:

a stare
to know your stuff



As you can imagine, her relationship with the IT team is not precisely great, so they decide to tell their boss that it's not working out for them. Do you remember the collocation, "to work as a team"? Well, you'll hear it a couple of times here.

This second video is subtitled. Some vocabulary you may want to look up before watching:

to escort
the premises (do you remember what it means?)
recruitment
to get on like a house on fire:




Enjoy!

Smoking ban: in England it's even worse!

If you don't believe me, just look at this clip from the hilarious The IT Crowd. It is easy enough to be watched without subtitles, but I made a version with subtitles in case you want to check later. Enjoy!
