One of the characters on 'The IT Crowd' was based on me.
When the first series was being written, I worked for the production company, FremantleMedia, and a researcher came around to the IT department and spent quite a long time chatting to various people, including me.
That's my little claim to fame.
Goth friends went to see the second series being filmed, and were asked if they'd like to meet Noel Fielding, the actor who plays Richmond. One of them replied "Nah, it's alright - we know the guy his character was based on". PUT DOWN OR WHAT!
