Peep Show

Sam 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. It's something of a surprise, then, to find that they are a cheerful, seemingly well-adjusted duo, who work from of a Thameside office with glorious views to the Palace of Westminster.

Your next box set: Peep Show

Watching 900 minutes of Peep Show in the space of three weeks really reveals the gruesome, brilliant ebb and flow at its heart.

In Peep Show, Jeremy and Mark venture outdoors - to the park for a picnic to celebrate Elena and Gail's forthcoming nuptials, and later, to the country. I'm not sure Mark and Jeremy really belong outside; certainly not in the countryside.

It's a beautiful finale, though, with all the disappointment, inappropriate-ness and sorry truths you would have wished for. And wonderful, wonderful lines. This series has been an absolute treat, the best yet. Can it really be over so soon? I guess there's something appropriate about the end of Peep Show coming too soon. But where are the chuckles going to come from now? Ah, The Thick of It starts tonight, that's where.

Peep Show: season six, episode six

Well what a series it has been - and it climaxes with another cracking episode, featuring a cliffhanger and, of all things, a stunt.

Peep Show Episode 6.6 Review

The finale to this excellent sixth series wasn't the perfect ending I was primed for, but the last five minutes were as close to comedy bliss as one could hope - if slightly undermined by a lack of resolution.

Last in the simply superb sixth series. The nuptials of Elena and Gail draw close, but Jeremy still holds out hope. Meanwhile Mark, fearing Jeff will usurp him, takes driving lessons so he can ferry his gestating former wife to hospital at the crucial hour. With series seven currently under construction, it's comforting to know it isn't the last we'll see of these most excruciating antiheroes. Performances, writing, drum-tight plotting: it's all gone up a notch this year. In the words of Partridge, "Come back Peep Show and play another song."

It's sadly the last in the series of the sharp-witted sitcom and Mark (David Mitchell) is worried that Jeff (Neil Fitzmaurice) is becoming a potential rival father to his unborn child. So he decides to learn to drive in order that he can take Sophie (Olivia Colman) to the hospital when the baby arrives.

The finale of this latest series ends on a cliffhanger but not before boiling point is reached when Mark's lies about passing his driving test bite him on the backside. With an unwanted baby and an unresolvable love triangle testing the patience of our anti-heroes, this has probably been the bleakest series yet (tonight Mark seriously considers a one-way ticket to Argentina and a face transplant for the sake of his sanity). Nonetheless, it's also been an absolute hoot.
