Peep Show - Series 6 Page 12
I'm a massive fan of all the series of Peep Show. But I prefer the series in the order of the earliest to the latest. I like it how, in series 1, mark looks up to Jeremy to offer him advice in social situations. It's like they're sort of even with their problems. Mark has the intelligence with no social awareness and Jeremy was the stupid one with the social skills. Especially in series 5 this dynamics has changed a lot. It's more like Mark's got all the power in the relationship. It's good to see how the characters have grown and developed over time; but I can't see series 6 being at the quality series 1 was.

Hah, I agree with your analysis, but I still find the show funny as ever. It was amusing however when Mark still looked at Jeremy as "the cool guy".

Love it!
But I am a pedantic shit....in one shot that box full of 'baby shit' is not very full, the next, it's overflowing with stuff!
))))Curses my observancy for spoiling new Peep Show clip((((
Is observancy even a real word??
I'm looking forward to tonight's epsiode and seeing my friend Vera. 
Almost forgot this was on tonight. Can't wait
I've never really watched this before. It's quite good.
Rather good stuff indeed. I wonder how many people will comment on how blindingly obvious some of it was though?
It didn't feel as though I was watching Mark and Jeremy; I felt like I was watching David Mitchell and Robet Webb; if that makes sense. I enjoyed it but I felt as though it took a while for the episode to really decide what it was doing. There was also some new editing technique where it suddenly went extra fast when someone would turn around.
Jeremy didn't feel as feckless and dickish in the way he normally does. There were also less interior dialogue moments in this episode.
On the whole it was funny in parts, but this series looks like it might take a while to find it's feet I think.
Well, this was in some ways quite a major shake-up from where we left them in series 5. Like the idea of Mark being brought down to earth with a bang within just a few minutes of us seeing him at his most successful and assertive (and obnoxious) ever. It was a good twist to suddenly pull the rug out from under a major fixture of Peep Show life - i.e. Mark's financial and career stability.
Sense the writers will try to move the characters' lives a bit further along their sitcom journey in this series. (Compared with the relatively gentle, subtle progression they have shown in series 1-5.)
It was a nice touch the way that the second Mark is unemployed Jeremy is suddenly (almost subconsciously) nicer to him. They might bond a bit more if Mark is brought "down" to Jeremy's level for a while. On the other hand, in a world of uncertainty it may be Mark who looks the lesser emotionally and mentally well-endowed of the pair.
Very interested to see where this series goes. Not the funniest episode of Peep Show ever, but an important one I think. Almost like setting-up new characters in a pilot episode, this had to set-up quite a major change in situation.
My friend Vera was only in briefly in the lift scene, but will feature more in future episodes.
At least I can say two Peep Show cast members have read my lines out loud now.
Was she the one eyeing up Mark's ergonomic keyboard?
Yeah I'd have to watch the episode again I think, to make my mind up. Kind of wish we had found out what happened with Super Hans and the cult; because it was as if they killed him off at the end of the last series when Jeremy told him to f**k off. It was the first time Jeremy had told Hans to f**k off. Is it a different style that it's being filmed in because everything looks wider in the shots to me; and also a lot clearer.
