Peep Show

Peep Show series 6 episode 6 review

If they're handing out awards for drunk acting anywhere, somebody please put Robert Webb forward. He single-handedly provided this episode, and, indeed, this or possibly any other Peep Show series, with five of the funniest minutes I have ever witnessed in British comedy.

Peep Show series 6 episode 5 review

Is this the strongest series of Peep Show ever? It's certainly the most self-assured.

Peep Show: season six, episode five

A party brings plenty of internal monologues - and just the right amount of revulsion.

Peep Show Episode 6.5 Review

Overall, it almost goes without saying that this was a truly marvelous episode, packed full of memorable moments and lines of dialogue - from Mark's iPod suddenly "shuffling" the party music to a dull speech, Jez describing Mark as "a fusty, sweater-wearing no-fly zone with a ten-foot carrot up [his] arse", the throwaway shot of Super Hans making his snake dizzy in a salad mixer, Mark's unspoken quest to discover who blocked his toilet, and Jez agreeing to be Elena's "human mannequin".

Mark's (David Mitchell) impending fatherhood fast approaches in this sitcom about two hapless flatmates whose horrid luck provides consistent amusement for the rest of us. He and Jeremy (Robert Webb) decide to throw a party, each seeing it as an opportunity for romance. Jeremy tries to make his casual lover Elena (Vera Filatova) jealous. Mark, meanwhile, hopes to finally hook in his long-term object of infatuation, Dobby (Isy Suttie).

It's Friday, it's 10pm, it's Peep Show. Another effortless visit to the blackly comic lives of Mark and Jez, who this week are planning a party - mainly so Mark can get it on with Dobby again. There are so many effortless one-liners in any episode of Peep Show, it's practically obscene.

Peep Show series 6 episode 4 review

The mighty Paterson Joseph returns as Peep Show carries on delivering the laughs...

Peep Show Episode 6.4 Review

Another marvelously twisted comedy of embarrassment this week, as Mark overheard Jez's new girlfriend Elena talking to her long-term lover... and isn't pleased when it becomes clear Elena wants him to break the news to Jez...

Peep Show: season six, episode four

The bad news is Elena is starting to irritate; the good news is the simmering Mark-Johnson sexual tension is back.

As the pendulum swings back in Jeremy's favour (he's in a happy relationship with Elena the sexy drug dealer) Mark is delighted to find out that she may not be all she first seemed. But will he shatter Jez's illusions? Mark also considers Johnson's offer of a business partnership. The same Johnson who bailed on JLB Credit faster than Mark could say, "There goes the last Beemer out of Saigon."
