Linehan has faith in IT Crowd

Despite disappointing ratings for the start of his new sitcom, The IT Crowd, Graham Linehan remains upbeat. BBC News reports.

As yet a follow-up series has yet to be commissioned, although according to Linehan "the initial signs are good".

"I think we've created something pretty special, but I'm too close to it to know if I've succeeded.

"And anyway, you only really know how well a show is doing when it's repeated."
