The Final Countdown is the second episode of the fourth series of the IT Crowd. Moss appears on the popular TV Gameshow, Countdown.
Summary
Moss becomes a celebrity by beating all records on the popular puzzle show Countdown. At the other end of human life Roy is mistaken for a window cleaner, while Jen is preoccupied with trying to figure out the secret behind Douglas' secret meetings with lots of women in fluffy dressing gowns.
Plot
The plot in this is quite brilliant. The use of countdown makes this episode more relevant to the British public. A truly unmissible masterpiece that should not be watched by the faint hearted.

Trivia
- Moss' word 'TNETENNBA' has been given meaning by the public, although has not been accepted by any major dictionaries. It is said to mean "One who looks up words which have been artificially created for the purpose of fiction or comedy"
- This episode marks the first time Roy's residence is shown, given it is a new apartment.
- This episode also marks the first time that Roy's line, "Hello?, IT, have you tried turning it off and on again", has been used in this series.
- Club 8+ was filmed at Club Karma in Ealing.
- The Street Countdown scenes were filmed in Ealing, West London.
- The "geek" extras for this episode were recruited via Twitter
- Douglas does not feature very much in this episode, only two scenes, with one being incredibly short and only his head is visible. This is compensated by him having the final shock of the episode.
