Who is the worst man on 'Peep Show' - Mark or Jez?
'Who's the worst character in Peep Show?' is a question with the power to divide nations. Unlike 'Who's the worst Friend?' (Ross) or 'Who's the most annoying person in The Big Bang Theory?' (all of them), it's a question with no obvious answer.

James Walton, The Spectator, 7th September 2017Review: Back
