"Be my hive brain!": Help dress the set for the next season of The IT Crowd

Graham Linehan of Father Ted, Hippies (which was actually a little gem of a show), Black Books, Big Train, and The IT Crowd fame NEEDS YOUR HELP

Over at Graham’s Blog “Why, That’s Delightful” there is a call out for geekery to be submitted to help them dress the set for season three.

How would you like to help in designing the look of series 3? Specifically, you’d be helping us choose the stuff that litters the main set. I’m talking about posters, comics, fanzines, T-shirts… anything you’ve seen in the last few months that you think is pretty cool or captures the spirit of the show or a particular character. By now, most of you know the kind of things I like…weird toys, indie comics, sci-fi, geek references, internet memes, boardgames…normally I’d delight in tracking down the stuff myself, but as I say, it’s just not going to happen this time round.

In the very first draft of the show I described the set as looking like “a cross between a comics shop and the batcave”. I wanted it to feel like a geek Shangri-La, and in each series I’ve felt we nearly got there. Maybe this time, with you guys involved, we’ll finally nail it.

Please send your suggestions to ben.capel@talkbackthames.tv
We also need to get legal permission to use the stuff, and we need to get it fast, so please include as much information as you can regarding contact details etc etc.

So that’s ben.capel@talkbackthames.tv. BUT BE QUICK.
