But he definitely said something along the lines of "It worked when I thought he was funnier than me, but when I grew in confidence it was all over as I didn't like him telling me what to do"
Again, paraphrasing, but that was the gist of it.
Found it!
Cheers for that, an interesting read. 
Thought tonight's episode was funny. Not spectacular, but still very good.
Did the Italian chap used to be Alex in Hollyoaks? I think he did.
Really enjoyed tonight's episode. 
Huge improvement over the previous three episodes, really enjoyed it tonight. Let's hope it stays on track during the next two...
Really liked that one!
The Italian used to be in Grange Hill among other things.
That was funny. The incredulity in the scene with them not understanding the fire was very, very funny.

Oh yeah.
The first few minutes and that woman moving around a lot were highly annoying, but it got better after that, Jen with an Italian accent made me feel warm and fuzzy and when I heard the words Gianluca Vialli, I felt like Roy on the laptop!
When he set fire to the Seaworld model, I was expecting her to walk in, so maybe she'll be in it for at least one more episode, surely they wouldn't have missed that opportunity if it was a one off appearance.
I did like his 2nd reaction on the roundabout, the confused and disinterested look as he tried to fathom the answer to the fire, when really he should have enjoyed the moment and euphoria of being with someone he was besotted with, a lesson for all guys out there really! or maybe it's just me.
A good episode, and now I've an idea for a new thread
Very funny this week, very funny indeed.
However, still relatively few scenes with all three of them - they're largely off on their own again. Nice to have some jokes a little more IT- and geek-y as well, at long bloody last. Pity they weren't actually to do with their jobs, but heyho.
Not a bad episode, with some really nice bits, but feels increasingly formulaic. Not least because Linehan used relationship montages last week. And I wish he'd ditch these A, B and C storylines and just do one meaty one.
Yeah, the three completely separate story lines does annoy.
I liked the repeat of the roundabout montage!
And all the photos of him looking off into the distance, trying to figure it out.
Very good tonight.
Much, much better this week. The last few weeks had worried me coz I really like The IT Crowd, but they just were not up to scratch. Whereas, this week had several proper laugh out loud moments for me- Roy trying to figure out the Sea Park thing, Moss dropping his phone down the toilet and Jen 'speaking' Italian "Vienetta Fiant Punto!"...
Although I do agree, it is annoying that they have separate storylines all the time.
Tonight's episode was MUCH better...
Moss giving birth to the iPhone was brilliant.
==============
Also, IT Boffin Bliss, I just spotted the Altair 8800 computer over Moss's shoulder.
The Altair 8800 was the very first micro computer available to computer hobbyists (1975).
The very first computer that was remotely within the price bracket that you could buy one yourself. Though you had to order it from the USA.

I know that this particular computer was loaned to the show for the set by "The Centre for Computing History" it is serial number 3.
Just think the actual 3rd computer from the very dawn of personal computing.

PS: I couldn't afford one when they were announced but I lusted after one.
