Jay Richardson, The Scotsman, 30th November 2010Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong Interview
It is said that the secret of good writing is to write about what you know. As such, you might expect the writers of Channel 4's Peep Show (which is definitely good writing) to be two miserable, socially inept losers holed up in a rather depressing flat, bickering relentlessly.

I'm going to give it another go. And that's because some of these guys' (they are all blokes, and probably always will be) ideas are actually pretty funny. Mark and his hood for example. He's hilarious, much funnier than either of the two professionals.
