End of Peep Show: 'Super Hans took the sofa' - video
At a Guardian Live preview screening of the final series of Peep Show, David Mitchell and Robert Webb reveal what they took from the set and we find out who got the coveted horse biscuit tin. Mitchell and Webb were joined by writers Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain and chair Julia Raeside from The Guardian to discuss the final series of Peep Show at a Guardian Members' event at the Greenwood Theatre, London, on 5 November 2015.

Some of the best Peep Show moments are when the gang go on the road and this trip to East Anglia for Super Hans's wedding is no exception. Dobby (Isy Suttie) has finally come back from New York - but with a smug American boyfriend in tow, to the intense irritation of Mark (David Mitchell).
Jez (Robert Webb) has to reflect on a rather surprising personal discovery that isn't a secret for very long, thanks to the hidden cameras Mark has secreted inside the flat (well, it is called Peep Show after all). Who will be Hans's best man? Will he manage to get through his big day without hitting anyone? And what is his real name? All is revealed in another painfully funny riot of a ride.

Gemma Dunn, The Scotsman, 10th November 2015David 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...

The Guardian, 6th November 2015Radio 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.
