David Mitchell: 'POV is a stupid way to film' - video

At a Guardian Live preview screening of the final series of Peep Show, David Mitchell and Robert Webb explain why the show's trademark point-of-view filming method was a terrible idea - something that became clear one afternoon while driving round a roundabout in Croydon...

David Mitchell: Twitter is "killing the joy humour"

"We're going through a bad patch in terms of people being very judgemental about jokes," David Mitchell said. "I've been noticing on recent episodes of Have I Got News for You, things that are just pretty reasonable jokes with a bit of edge to them, you can hear the studio audience are going 'gasp!'"

Radio Times review

It's been more than three years since we last visited Croydon's gruesome twosome Jez (Robert Webb) and David Mitchell's Mark. The unscrupulous Jez was declaring himself to Mark's girlfriend Dobby in a field and Mark is still smarting pompously at the betrayal; so much so, in fact, that he has found a new flatmate, cruelly consigning Jez to a billet in druggie Super Hans's bathroom.

As we rejoin the action six months on from the regrettable field-gate, will Jerry (Tim Key) provide Mark with the requisite, er, fun with William Morris documentaries and reading nights in? It isn't long before Jez seeks to wheedle his way back home in what becomes a hilarious tug-of-love for Mark's affections (and spare room)....

Writers Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong clearly want to raise the bar in this final ever outing of the cult "point-of view" comedy, which started in 2003. The gags are rapier-sharp and, despite all the usual chaos, mayhem and silliness, there is some deft plotting at work here, too.

Matt King's Super Hans is also brought joyously to the fore and it's lovely to be reminded of what a fantastic (and integral) character he is in the peerless world of Peep.

Radio Times review

The recent news of long-time host Stephen Fry's unexpected departure from QI casts a pall over this series, even though Sandi Toksvig will surely be a fine replacement.

Still, until he finally leaves there's plenty of fun to be had this week in the realm of M-themed places, including a country pronounced "Made-up-a-roo-rah", which the guests have to try and identify as real or fake (harder than you might think).

From an inspired riff by David Mitchell and Alan Davies on rather rudely named areas of the UK to a tirade about mangoes from newcomer Sami Shah, it's a timely reminder of why Fry's 13-year tenure on the series has been such a delight. Gosh, we'll be sad to see him go.
