The show's autobiographical element - Radio Times, January 2006

Writer Graham Linehan may or may not be a whizz at computing, but there's a major autobiographical element in The IT Crowd. That's according to Chris O'Dowd, who's back for a second series as Roy, one half of the nerdy duo at the centre of the sitcom.

"Graham told Richard [Ayoade], who plays Moss, and myself that our characters were based on him. I was him ten or so years ago when he was around 25 and Moss is him when he was 15! Once we found that out, it made a lot more sense," says O'Dowd. "Will we ever become fully-formed adults? I doubt it."
