The IT Crowd/Trivia


 * The Cast Showoff: Philip Rham, who played Johann the German cannibal in "Moss and the German", was an actual professional cellist (as one could probably guess from him prominently playing the cello in The Stinger of the episode...).
 * Hey, It's That Guy!:
 * Moss is Thornton Reed and Douglas is Dr. Lucien Sanchez. The chick who dumps Roy for having shit smeared on his head is also Dr. Liz Asher, while Richmond makes a one-off appearance as a rabid gorilla in the same show.
 * Also, Will's mum is Douglas's estranged wife Victoria, and the Vicar at Denholm's funeral is Neil's Dad.
 * Moss is also Saboo, Douglas is Dixon Bainbridge and Richmond is Vince Noir.
 * Female Sulu and Ivana are played by Gemma Chan, who is also Mia Bennett and Charlotte.
 * Moss' Psychiatrist who reminds Roy of his mother is Madame Kovarian.
 * And of course, Denholm was previously an aggressive, Paxman-like news reporter. In fact, physically, the moustache is the only thing different.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: "I don't think that's Elton John" -- Well no, because it's Neil Hannon.
 * What Could Have Been: An American version was planned and a pilot was shot, but not picked up. The biggest effect would have been Joel McHale passing up Community for it.
 * You Look Familiar: Belinda Stewart-Wilson plays both Denholm's widowed wife in Series 2 and Douglas' wife in Series 4.
 * On a smaller note, actress Gemma Chan played both Ivana and Female Sulu/Female Spock in two separate Series 4 episodes.
