Artist has Mark Corrigan tattoo on his leg

The Birmingham Mail, 16th December 2015A date mole-mapping. Super Hans's stag night. Jeremy's life-coaching love triangle. Instead of an elegiac vibe, the final series of Peep Show has kept things extraordinarily lively, while allowing its characters subtly to develop in something like a believable way. Jeremy is wrestling with the challenge of getting his act together and, at 39, beginning adulthood. Mark is pursuing love and history in one person. As Jeremy's 40th approaches, Mark faces down the latest in a series of work crises and makes a last-ditch attempt to win back April.
John Robinson, The Guardian, 16th December 2015Video: Mark and Jeremy age 12 years in 30 seconds
Remember those viral videos where people took a photo of themselves everyday for 49 years? Just imagine if Peep Show's Mark (David Mitchell) and Jeremy (Robert Webb) got bored - not a huge stretch- and did the same...
Digital Spy, 16th December 2015I can't quite believe that this is the last episode of Peep Show. Which sitcom can we turn to when we're feeling like ruined, depressed misfits against whom all the world is arranged? We'll just have to watch it all again and jot down notes on how to cope with life, because it has taught us several lessons such as: keep your boiler at the right temperature; never go along with any plan devised by Super Hans; don't opt for a career in credit control and never be ashamed to admit you prefer Radio 4 to a night of clubbing and getting high.
In this last episode, Jeremy is forced to admit that he's getting older. His boyfriend wants to party, take drugs and stay awake for three days and Jeremy is trying to keep up with him but really just wants to close the bedroom door and sleep for a fortnight. He's afraid to admit he's getting older and slowing down and so pretends his upcoming 40th birthday is really just his 39th. And as Mark keeps trying to win
April's heart, Super Hans proposes a plan and Mark is desperate enough to go along with it.
Julie McDowall, The National (Scotland), 16th December 2015Peep Show ended in the right way
Peep Show is certainly one of the greatest sitcoms made in recent decades. It is the show that we comedy connoisseurs want to take to all those people who watch Mrs. Brown's Boys, broadcast in front of them, and tell them that this is the show they should have been watching. I'll miss it... *MIMES PULLING CORD* Ehhhhhhh!! Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 16th December 2015Peep Show: sitcom for a rootless generation
When Peep Show first arrived on our screens in 2003, it put off some who thought it too 'zeitgeisty' - too Channel 4. First developed as a kind of live-action Beavis and Butt-Head, where two graduates would trade sarky observations about TV shows, its inner monologues and POV perspective struck many as a gimmick cooked up by TV execs. But, as Father Ted co-creator Graham Linehan later said, he hated Peep Show 'right up until the moment I actually watched it'.
Tom Slater, Spiked, 16th December 2015The final Peep Show and the art of saying goodbye
After 54 episodes over nine series, the El Dude brothers have reached the end of the line. Where Sex and the City and The Sopranos rounded off in style and other series crash-landed, will tonight's finale do the show justice?
Mark Lawson, The Guardian, 16th December 2015Peep Show: series 9, episode 6 review
There have been laughs, there have been tears, there have been snakes, men with ven, three weddings, two funerals, a baby, and, of course, a dead dog in a bin. The world of British comedy will be that much the poorer without them.
