A) GRAHAM LINEHAN INTERVIEW

After he put Mustard magazine in series 2 of The IT Crowd (see below), we did an extensive interview with Graham Linehan.

B) MUSTARD IN THE IT CROWD PUBLICITY PHOTOS

Well, I just got the official publicity photos from Channel 4 for the new series of The IT Crowd and my jaw dropped when I saw the second one. I think I may have had what Joss Whedon calls a 'nerdgasm'.

C) Moss Reading Mustard in an episode of The IT Crowd

This Friday's (7th Sept) episode of The IT Crowd is 'Moss & The German' which is the episode I saw the first cut of a while ago.

There's a scene where Moss is talking to Jen in the office and the camera cuts back and forth between them as they speak. Moss is sitting at his desk and reading Mustard - he has the cover turned up slightly, so you get a good look at it.

So that's 10pm on Friday, Channel 4! Unless that scene was edited out, in which case I will cry. Oh, and this episode starts with a very, very funny 2-minute sequence, so watch out for it...

D) Watching a recording of The IT Crowd

It turns out that Graham Linehan, writer of The IT Crowd (and Father Ted, Black Books etc.) is a fan of Mustard and asked to use it as 'set dressing' in the next series. In other words it's one of the many things scattered around the computer geek's office.

We went along to see an episode being recorded and were very excited to see the mag right on the top of piles on two different desks, so hopefully it'll be visible on the telly. Here's some photos:

A view from our seats in the audience - you can see the set (if you peer around the cameramen) and also the camera-eye-view on the big monitors overhead.
