It's not a spoiler. It's the decription from the official website.

It is a spoiler. It doesn't matter if it's come from Jesus, the Dalai Lama, the official website, or a boil on your arse performing telekinesis with a Biro. Any information about a programme which has not been broadcast is a spoiler.

I wrote that before your post. And you know what I mean. I mean it's not a proper spoiler.

It is a spoiler, for those of us who don't wish to know anything about forthcoming episodes.

Jeez guys.

Jeez guys.

Look, some of us don't want to know this info, whether or not it's a "real" spoiler. Best to be considerate and take out feelings into consideration.

By convention, there are usually separate 'spoiler' threads, or at least, the poster will type SPOILER ALERT before imparting such info.

It just annoys me that all other spoilers didn't get this annoyance. I thought it was ok.

Evidently this is a concept you've not fully grasped. It doesn't make the shit-ing-est bit of difference what the source is; it's information about something which has not yet been broadcast. Therefore it will SPOIL the show for people reading it, who do not wish to know. A spoiler is a spoiler. The only way it could be "not proper" is if it proves to be 100% inaccurate. Which isn't going to be the case if it is, as you say, from the official site.

It's a spoiler. Please do not post one again. End of.

I won't post one again. I know the concept of spoiler thought. Angry

What other spoilers? People saying "I've heard that..." is one thing, as there's very little information there really. But pasting in a whole episode synopsis is a spoiler from start to finish, and I can promise has been jumped upon whenever I've seen it in the past. I don't even like knowing who the guests are on panel shows before they start, so I don't hold back when I see it in any substantial form! :)

Wait... I looked back at my post... and it says "episode 4 story" before it.

Not far enough before it. The human eye jumps around. Please note how I edited your post, and make sure to put any information about future episodes in a similar format. :)

Ok. :)

I contributed to the Peep Show series 6 episode 1 article! :D

Great to have it back and it is still "must see" comedy (get with it, Mikey J!) - but this episode didn't give me confidence that it will ever regain the heights of the first three series. I will be watching and enjoying, though.

Best line - "men with ven".

PS - Didn't Mark try to get Jez a job at JLB in a previous episode?

Yep, but Jez never got past the interview - he faked facial spasms and then tried to get the interview interested in "pyramid selling". Series 1, Episode 2.

That was probably the best ever episode. I think the facial spasm moment is my favourite sitcom moment ever.
