The theme is based on a play called Calendar Girls, which was itself based on a real event where a group of women did exactly that for charity. EDIT - when Jen says "If it's unemployed men or old women from Yorkshire it's fun" --- she's referring to the movie the Full Monty in the first instance and Calendar Girls in the second.
The Full Monty - Written by a man from Bradford. Calendar Girls - Filmed in Bradford. Mark Addy from The Full Monty - Stars in at least 7 Bradford filmed productions (a few others from The Full Monty have also starred in Bradford filmed productions). Geraldine James from Calendar Girls - Stars in at least 7 Bradford filmed productions (most of the main actors have starred in other Bradford filmed productions, most notably Helen Mirren and Julie Walters).
For an episode in season 4, you will need to do some homework and watch an episode of the daytime game show Countdown. Preferably a 90s version. NOT the 8/10 Cats version with Jimmy Carr. That way you will get better context for one of the episodes.
I had never seen Countdown before I watched that episode. It's not difficult to get a rudimentary idea of the game just by watching IT Crowd. It's cool to see they got the actual Countdown people on it, though.
You should give "The Young Ones" a try. I'm pretty sure you'll both like it. It was my favourite show growing up, before Father Ted, The IT Crowd and all these other shows came out.
Agree it’s hard for people who weren’t around in the 80s to get the Young Ones now especially the first series. I’d recommend a few of the later episodes in series 2 to get them into it
22:00 What you guys call vacation we call holiday. I know that in the US holiday, or holiday season, is a thanksgiving-through-Christmas thing and the rest of the year you guys call time off work a vacation. In the UK any time you have time off work or school it's always known as a holiday. The biggest is the summer holiday because the kids are off school for 6 weeks so the whole family disappears somewhere sunny for a few weeks. Then there's the spring holiday, American youngsters call this spring break, then there's the autumn holiday - known as half-term or the October break in the UK, then lastly there's the Xmas holiday, which lasts until around January 2nd. In fact I think holiday in the UK actually means two thing in the US. When you guys have time off work and you travel somewhere you call it a vacation, and when you have time off work but don't go anywhere you call it a break (I think). In the UK we use holiday for both meanings. If I have two weeks off work and decide to go to Italy I'm on holiday, whereas if I have two weeks off work and spend it at home enjoying my free time I'm still on holiday. Holiday just means no work and no school.
When you get to the end of series 4, you'll have to find the very final extended episode 'The Internet is Coming'. Not sure where you're sourcing these videos from, but a lot of video servers don't include that very final episode.
That's because season 4 ended in 2010 and the closure episode The Internet is coming was aired in 2013. (Technically billed as season 5) So a lot of rips of the originals don't have it for that reason.
My "Byeeee!" has been like Moss since this came out. I also had to resist the strong urge, whilst on a military shooting range, to run around shouting "A gun! I've got a ruddy gun!" This show has ruined me.
@18:36 Those 2 "mob bosses" were purposely picked to look like 2 brothers from one of the UK's longest-running and most known TV soaps, "Eastenders"; Phil and Grant Mitchell, known for their criminal activity, and rough, no-nonsense behaviour
You have season 4 now, which is awesome btw, Graham Linehan planned to write a season 5 but simply wasn't enjoying it so decided to do a finale special one-off extended episode, which again was brilliant.
Hey, Boomers, I actually did take part in a nude-calendar photo shoot😊. It was even my own idea. I work as an independent artist ( metal, casting, forging stuff & medieval armor) and the ladies at the big compound where my workshop is located did a semi-nude calendar 2 years ago. So I launched the idea to do a male, but full nude version. Just to please the ladies. My picture in the month of May: Nude, wearing my viking helmet, hammering a sword on my anvil. Note: it was about 5 degrees Celsius that day...
This dates to when every charity, business and college did nude calendars. It was a huge fad in the UK after a Women's Institute did it for charity in 1999
Have you checked to see if a peripheral or even a nearby object is shorting or badly grounded? Or if something nearby is causing static? That MAY be the source of your computer problems.
The show was written right around the time the movie Calendar Girls was a big hit and nude calendars for charity became popular for a while (Firemen, Doctors etc)
Great fun, as ever! Sadly, you need to start planning to fill the void when you finish S4 and the extended special final episode. I recommend Green Wing, Upstart Crow (David Mitchell) and The Thin Blue Line (Rowan Atkinson).
What's funny is in when Moss comes back from his holiday, as an audience member, I hadn't noticed he'd been missing from the episode up to that point either.
Your setting issue is related to your USB issue. When usb devices drop out then programs you are running will be alerted of this and default to another device. The powered USB device might be a dodgy Chinese one with a sh1tty power supply that's failing. When it comes to powered hubs try to go for a brand name version that has at least USB 3.0 capacity
I need to watch this again with a bottle of whisky to take a shot every time Callie yawns, I'll be hammered in no time 😂...the joys of parenthood. Brian you never yawned once, I guess we know who gets up at night the most 😂
There was a craze for this sort of calendar here in England during the early 2000s amongst the Womens' Institute, which the fim mentioned celebrated. My Mother appeared in one....my MOTHER! I couldn't look at it. She was 82 for goodness sake! Probably looked as though she was wearing a pink wrinkled Onesie.
Like the joke about the old folks home resident who streaked through the halls as a prank. When asked what they were wearing one woman said she couldn't tell, but it needed ironing!
For audio switching problems, I recommend disabling all you other unused sound devices and make sure your main audio is set to the default. It's not just you, I have a 50/50 shot of screwing up my audio settings when I plug a PS4 controller into my Win11 PC.
“If you went up to a woman in her 20s and asked her to take naked pictures she’d say ‘no. Go away’” Uh… The Internet is filled with so many that said yes.
There is a play (and a film) called Calendar Girls based on a real story where the Women's Royal Institute (Jam and Bake Sales) created a nude calendar to raise money for a local cancer ward.
There's only one word for this episode - esotropia! (I can laugh, I suffered from a bout of strabismus several years ago. The jokes directed against me were the usual ones...)
If you install a new program , and do not read the information boxes correctly ...this maybe reason that your preferences get changed !! Even if you insert a dvd and it asks whst you wish to use to launch it ... can again ,change preferences . Poor work man blames the tool 😂😂😂😂 sorry Bri
I jusr added a Sutton Ranch tee shirt to my amazon basket (but with a horse on it). Looked it up and it cost $1'500 to stay there for one night!!!! WTF! If I go there I'll bring a tent :-D
Sorry can't help , takes me half an hour to find an email .I expect everyone else has explained about Caledar girls . You just knew from the gorgeous girls and the fact they were giving him the time of day it was always going to be a nightmare for poor Roy . Always a pleasure to see you enjoying the show together .
These types of calendars happened occasionally as fundraisers. No one was buying them for their erotic qualities, just as support for people who were willing to do something a bit outrageous and humorous for their cause. Being able to poke a bit of fun at yourself and have other people laugh is generally admired outside the US.
You should watch a movie with the Mrs called submarine written and directed by Moss and I believe somewhat autobiographical I loved it and I think the missus will too
Great episode👍although I've got many IT qualifications I still can't get my HP Wifi printer to work wirelessly and it was one of the first wireless printers on the market, arghh 😜 and it got so bad that I ended up buying a six feet usb cable for it to my shame 😭so no help from me lolol😂🤣
I'm already loving this reaction, before a single second of episode! 🤣🤪 Hey King Boomer, Frogman, I'm with you, I don't understand technology either.. 😶😶😶
I find that Windows 11 is a PITA when it comes to settings. Almost EVERY SINGLE time Win11 updates, it will screw up at least one setting somewhere and it really grinds my gears!
Windows updates have an annoying habit of changing microphone to "Default" (whatever that is) which often does not exist. It's worth checking after every system update.
in reference to the beginning of the video: I'm guessing your computer uses Windows 10 (maybe 11) since newer Windows operating systems are notorious for changing your settings after an update.... This is why I use Linux based operating systems (Linux Mint and Manjaro Linux specifically) they're far more reliable and customizable, and best of all there are NO forced updates
The IT people must have to come to your house and reconfigure your brain to link with the computer. Then it will work right: the computer, not your brain. That's another department.
I reckon in all the offices I've ever worked at if you suggested making a sexy girls calendar of the girls around the office (even for charity) you would be in front of HR within an hour 😂 especially in 2024!

Moss saying "Box Fresh" is the best thing ever 😜

I organised a Calendar Girls style calendar for work in memory of a colleague who passed with breast cancer, and we raised £4k.

Agree it’s hard for people who weren’t around in the 80s to get the Young Ones now especially the first series. I’d recommend a few of the later episodes in series 2 to get them into it
I love how you guys compliment each other all the time. Never stop doing that.
Loved Roy's Bert & Ernie T-shirt!
Thanks guys, great stuff as always!
Once you've finished the entire catalogue of I.T. Crowd you can watch all the out-takes, they're on here, and are well worth watching.
You should watch Black Books, its in the same vein as IT Crowd.
This is hands down, my favorite episode from the IT crowd, Moss is absolutely brilliant in this one!

In the voice of Al Murray "SAY IT!!!"
Fillltthyyyy
LOL in the words of the IT crowd "Turn it off and turn it back on again".
My IT teacher in the 90's already used that line. (Whixh made the line in the show even funnier).

You guys should do the calendar to raise funds for a new computer. Douglas can do a caricature of you!
There was a craze for this sort of calendar here in England during the early 2000s amongst the Womens' Institute, which the fim mentioned celebrated.

You to try The Mighty Boosh, Howard Moon manor action compilation
“If you went up to a woman in her 20s and asked her to take naked pictures she’d say ‘no. Go away’”
Uh… The Internet is filled with so many that said yes.
You guys should try reacting to “Green Wing” you’d love it.
Love green wing
Yes! The scene with Dr Statham being 'spontaneous' and Sue White's antics had me helpless on the floor.
Yes Green Wing is brilliant. Please check it out
Regarding the technology, have you tried switching it off and on again?
Actually the way Moss portraits ¨Fear¨ I would bet I saw as a pose or something similar in America´s Next Topmodel.
Just joined your patreon recently. So glad i did.
That baseball pic on the wall behind you, with King Boomer just wearing the glove and hat!
Nude calendars for charity where a weird trend in the uk we did one at my pub.
I bet if they put up Moss's calendar for sale they would easily make 1 million nowadays 😂
@ 27:47, the gentleman on the right was Chris Evans' scrawny body double for Captain America The First Avenger.

QB , you may not need to go to expense of a pumpkin to preserves KB's dignity in his nude calendar, maybe a baby carrot would do the job just as well😮
A carrot? How about a Singapore noodle?
