a snooty Anglo-Swede called Dan. He was a right tosspot.

I'm sure I've worked with him too.

In fact I think there are at least three of them at this client. All dreadful.

I thought the Goth guy was good. He's the bloke out of Nathan Barley and The Mighty Boosh, certainly an IT stereotype but an apt one.

I saw the one where they make up a lonely hearts ad and go on a date in a kiddies restaurant. I thought it was excellent. But the one with the wet and pathetic goth was dreadful. They should sack the useless actor who plays him.

Oddly enough he is a dead ringer for someone I used to work with: a snooty Anglo-Swede called Dan. He was a right tosspot.

He looked fairly convincing.

Never seen the programme, so I can't possibly comment.

Is Richmond from the IT crowd based on BGG?

Richmond is the rarely seen fourth character in the team. His dirty red office door in the wall behind Roy's desk looks like a rather unassuming gateway to Dante's lower levels. Richmond has a ghoulish complexion only a goth of his devotion could carry off but assures us he does not wear makeup. This gentle-spirited but very spooky guy drifts accros the screen like a spectre's shadow.
