Just got this e-mail on this show, if anyone is interested, just reply to the e-mail address given I am trying to go and will let you know what`s it like if I get there E-mail address newshow@sroaudiences.com Hello Alan We thought that you might be interested in FREE tickets for a brand new sitcom from the makers of The IT Crowd, at the BBC TV Studios, White City. ARCADIA Arcadia is a youthful sitcom set in the real world around Clacton's finest computer games shop Games 4 U with a cast of characters whose minds are somewhere else entirelyS The shop is in financial trouble and ever-so-slightly neurotic manager Tony (Edinburgh Fringe Award winner Nick Mohammed) is doing his best to keep things afloat, ably assisted by Mr Sci-Fi convention himself, Jeremy Stokes (Matt Green), and the attractive, though unobtainable, Bella. Tony believes he can design games better than the ones he sells; the problem is all his ideas are rubbish. Jeremy has played and completed every computer game ever released while still managing to have a surprising amount of luck with the ladies. This is all the more remarkable considering Jeremy regularly arrives for work dressed as gaming characters no one else has heard of. Bella is the gorgeous level-headed young assistant and the apple of Tony's eye but unfortunately she is more interested in the mysterious hacker Clint who masquerades as an asexual-cyber-terrorist but is in fact a nice middle-class boy who still lives at home with his mum.

That must be good. IT Crowd is too damn funny. Also, if you haven't watched, don't miss "The Big Bang Theory".
Meh, IT crowd was average, a good joke sometimes but it still doesnt portrays the real geek enviroment. This sitcom seems like it was created by a middle aged hipster inspired by the store where his kid buys every GTA that comes out. Obviously the fat guy with a pony tail and acne that owns the place isnt funny becos he's always pissed and has no friends, so the creator adds a wise guy and a hot girl, which both are impossible since in real life the wise guy stays in college and the hot girl only likes guys who have at least a bimmer. I say trying to make a geek sitcom is a dead end, mostly becos the sitcom modus operandi is uncompatible with geek humor, which is based on random stuff, lots of swearing, good acting (something that sitcoms all over the world lack) and last, jokes that force you to seach for said stuff in the 'net in order to understand them. Ergo, geek humor will never get into the mainstream without losing its pure raw form.
Sounds like fun v.a , thanks for the heads up. Even if its shite .. its free! Always brings a smile to my face
Yeah the Big Bang Theory seems to have hit the nail on the head. They don't hold back on the geek humour and yet it remains funny for the masses. Very enjoyable, pity it seems to have been stunted by the writes strike.
Don't worry. It's back on March 17th (In USA it is). That would be the 9th episode, and the first season seem to be contracted to 22 episodes. Plus i read somewhere, they already signed for a 2nd season. :thumbsup: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Bang_Theory_(TV_series)
Well, I've put my request for tickets in - if it does come through, all of us attending forum residents should try and meet up (or near Londoners). Or do you think it's a bad idea?
