Character Profiles

Thursday 18 December 2008

Jen knows nothing about IT, she only got the job because she said she had extensive experience of computers like using mices, clicking, double-clicking, and that thing that goes on the floor... the er hard-drive?

As well as being their line manager, Jen is Roy and Moss' agony aunt, relationship coach and guru about life outside the basement. Not that her life is going particularly well, it's just better than theirs.

Katherine studied Classics at Oxford before moving to LAMDA, where she first met Chris O'Dowd. She left the course early to star in the play, The Age Of Consent.

Her TV credits include Casualty, the Julie Walters drama, Ahead Of The Class, and more recently she played Pauline in the comedy drama series Doc Martin, alongside Martin Clunes and Joe Absolom.

Excellent show - thank you for all your efforts in making a quality show. Found the IT Crowd on Netflix in the U.S. One of the best shows I've seen. We just finished watching a marathon of series 1 and 2. Katherine - you are a true talent.

"THE SHOES!!!" "... but I have just destroyed a merger which probably took HUNDREDS of years to set up, the office is on fire, Denholm's furious so can we PLEASE concentrate on what's important and HELP ME ON WITH MY SHOES!!!!" Two Jen quotes from "Calamity Jen", starring Jen and her feet.

Wow, I want to tell you that you guys have fans in the US. We stream you on Netflix, and the entire family watches your every episode. I'm an IT manager, and have several "Mosses" working for me. Most comedies in the US have a team of writers, and you guys have only one? Brilliant writing, incredible actors, and pee-in-your-pants funny. Sorry those boneheads in the US didn't pick up your US pilot.

Jen from the IT Crowd is one of the great comedy creations of our time and Katherine Parkinson should be very proud. It's amazing how often I'm struck by the thought, "Wow, she's just like Jen from the IT Crowd", and have a sly chuckle.
