Hit comedy The IT Crowd is being remade for American audiences however one of the show's stars, Richard Ayoade, has said that he will not appear in the new show.
Appearing on The Graham Norton Show last night (November 7) Ayoade spoke about being in the failed pilot for the original US remake in 2007: "I was the only one [of the original cast] dumb enough to do it.
"It was deeply weird.
"It was a bit like a play where everyone else had left. It was very odd."
Despite its failure, American TV network NBC has green lit another adaptation of the sitcom.
Ayoade added: "I understand they are trying again, and now I'm out, there's a chance it will succeed. It was a strange experience."
