A few weeks ago I read an article about a new BBC TV programme, something along the lines of The Office, but set in the basement IT support HQ. There were two geeks, and a pretty girl who wasn't a geek (she lied on her CV and doesn't know anything about computers really.) The Beeb's website is singularly useless for finding a programme whose name you don't know. Can any of you UKese help me here? What is this programme, and when is it airing?


Another saddening fact of life is the ephemerality of second-hand bookshops. There are at least two of these in Belfast that I've been in once, and could never, never find again. I can't even find the places where they've been. It lends colour to the theory that books bend spacetime, and that these bookshops have wandered in from another dimension. Or that there is is an order of Moving Bookshops, specially designed to frustrate their customers across the mulitverse by never being open when you want them.

I reckon your problem is that it ain't BBC. Unless C4 have come up with something remarkably similar:

It's all about the L-space!

Why couldn't the pretty girl be a geek and one of the guys be the useless one? :p

That's depressing.
