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.
