Peep Show	comment	Peep Show (2003-2015) is a very darkly comical show about two very ordinary weirdos: Jeremy "Jez" Usbourne (Robert Webb), a manchild with dreams of becoming a musician, and Mark Corrigan (David Mitchell), a fifty-year-old in a thirtysomething's body. The show's gimmick is that (with very few exceptions) every camera shot in the show is taken from the point of view of one of the characters, whether Jez and Mark or just someone passing by. It also allows the viewer to hear the internal thought processes of both Mark and Jez as they bumble through their lives... and the show makes good on its promise of showing us everything going on in their heads.The central pair are accompanied by a gradually evolving supporting cast of friends, friends' friends and girlfriends, including Mark's love interest Sophie (Olivia Colman), Jerk Jock Jeff, Jeremy's stoner bandmate Super Hans, and The Ace Alan Johnson, Mark's insane but charismatic boss.

Within the first few episodes it slowly becomes apparent that they and everyone else in their lives are all terrible, terrible people. Sometimes veers into Work Com territory when the plot involves Mark's coworkers, but the core of the show always comes back to the two roommates and their dysfunctional romantic lives.

Things get even worse after series 6, when the recession hits and JLB credit goes out of business. It may not even be a deliberate invocation of this trope, because that's a relatively accurate portrayal of Croydon. Also worth mentioning is the fact that the vast majority of characters are twats. Jeff is the most prominent example, but out of the dozens of cast members on the show, the only truly good ones are Dobby and a couple of extras.

Mark points out that the snake Super Hans has with him at the time has a red-next-to-black pattern note making it a harmless milk snake, but the show seems to think it's a coral snake, but it never actually bites anyone throughout the episode, despite what you may expect from a show like this.

"The sofa's out; Jeremy's busy murdering pedestrians on Grand Theft Auto." Played straight: the few seconds we see of him playing Blitzkrieg he's clearly playing the tutorial stage when he says he's spent hours on it.

Peep Show / int_3b113b7	comment	Character Development: Jez begins to understand himself and how pathetic he is more as the series goes on. Also, the entire relationship between Mark and Jeremy; Jeremy goes from looking down on Mark to truly appreciating him in the later series. Even Mark shows signs of caring for Jez. Especially evident in the series 7 Christmas episode, where Jeremy buys Mark some well-thought out presents that he is genuinely appreciative of and even spends 'hours' on the internet researching what turkey he thinks Mark would appreciate best for Christmas dinner. Mark doesn't do the same, but he's tight-fisted with everyone, including his family. At the end of the New Year episode, Mark arranges to move in with Dobby. Jeremy's plans to move in with Zahra have fallen through but even with no place to live, Jeremy realises that Mark wants to move on and lets him go. Averted with Mark. In series 8, he effectively repeats all the mistakes of his relationship with Sophie - up to and including a disastrous trip to the Quantocks. His career has gone backwards, he continues to delude himself about 'Business Secrets of the Pharaohs', and his relationship with Jez has deteriorated.

Seasonal Beatings has Dobby walk out after one too many insults from Mark's dad and Mark not standing up for her. However, the realization gives Mark the courage to finally stand up to his dad, Jez manages to genuinely commit to his belief in Christmas, and the group finally have an enjoyable Christmas party while Mark's dad goes to sulk by himself. The episode ends on one of the few high notes for both characters. The season seven finale in spades: Dobby agrees to move in with Mark, meaning that Jeremy will have to go through with his plans to move out even though Zahra was waffling. Separated by a fence, Mark goes off to celebrate the New Year with Dobby, taking one last look at Jeremy before the latter is left to get beaten by Super Hans; a rare genuine Tear Jerker for the show.

Let's not forget he managed to 'do a Columbo' and collect information on April the shoe shop girl, then track her down and find her at university. Mark also goes so far as to catch five buses to get across town to see Dobby, as well as spying on her when she was at a party with Gerrard. Luckily for him, Dobby knows Mark better than himself so takes a more lenient stance on his behaviour than Sophie did.

Peep Show / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: Just what was up with the title music in the first season? Weirdly enough, a snippet of said music is still used whenever there is a transition between scenes in subsequent seasons, while "Flagpole Sitta" can be heard playing in the background at the bowling alley during "On The Pull." The show as a whole had a different feel in the first series. Because it wanted to establish its unique gimmick of showing everything through people's eyes, it did it to a greater extent, such as Mark running to the bus and it being shown exactly as it would look through his eyes even if it makes for very shaky footage and close-ups inside the toaster when Jez is making toast. As the series progressed, this was toned-down more and more and now the show is almost completely free of more 'arty' camera positions. Watching an episode from Series 7 alongside one from Series 1 can be slightly jarring. The show was also a lot less plot-driven in the first series. Each episode had a much more simple storyline and scenes contained a lot more banter about topics completely irrelevant to it. There was also not really as much overarching storyline, besides Mark trying to seduce Sophie and both him and Jeremy lusting after Toni. Mark wasn't quite as intelligent in the first series; not knowing that leukemia is a form of cancer, thinking that black people can't be gay, and buying into Jeremy's faux religiosity in the wake of his uncle's funeral would be very out of character for the Mark of series 2 and later. Many episode plots in the first two series had Mark and Jeremy separated and going through roughly the same experiences over the course of their day in parallel, much of the humour being derived from how differently they react to the same situation. This would still happen occasionally in later series, but as the show went on it became more common to have them together for most of the episode.

He gets hyped up for it hoping the other woman will be Big Suze, but instead it's a dour High-Powered Career Woman with a foot injury who seemingly wants nothing to do with him. The whole thing ends up being a big chore for everyone including Jez, not a fantasy fulfillment.

Peep Show / int_863fa679	comment	What Happened to the Mouse?: We never find out whether Johnson swindles Mark out of Â£2000 for the management consultancy scheme or whether he gets it back.note It's alluded to in a throwaway line in the second episode of series 8 when a vanity publisher asks Mark for Â£2000 to publish "Business Secrets of the Pharaohs," and Mark thinks, "Just remember Johnson. Keep your panties dry until the big guy's hard." After being a regular recurring presence around Apollo House in series 1 and 2, neighbour Toni abruptly vanishes from series 3 onwards, with no in-show explanation provided. Word of God says they couldn't get the actress (Elizabeth Marmur) to return to the show, so Toni's planned appearance in series 3 episode 1 was shifted to a new guest character, Michelle. How, exactly, does the Gog story end up? When we leave it, Jez and Super Hans are about to beat him up for money. Nancy disappears from the show after Series 4, last seen snogging Super Hans on a bench at Mark's Wedding. In Series 8, Mark recommends that a sexually frustrated Jeremy should "see what Nancy's up to", but we never do get to find out. Big Suze also disappears permanently after series 7, but her appearances gradually reduce in frequency, making her absence less jarring. Elena disappears from the show after series 6 and is only mentioned once more in the series 7 opener [as it's set immediately after series 6]. Her (presumably ex-)fiancÃ©e Gail does appear again in series 7 and 8 but doesnâ€™t mention Elena.

Peep Show / int_9dab0a6e	type	Continuity Nod
Peep Show / int_9dab0a6e	comment	Continuity Nod: The show is remarkably consistent, briefly revisiting old plot points and character habits as throwaway brick jokes for the more astute fans to pick up on: In "Seasonal Beatings", Mark's dad spills cava on the carpet. Mark remarks "It's okay Dad, the carpet's seen worse." It certainly has seen worse, because one of Sophie's drug-addled friends spilled an entire glass of red wine all over it in series 3. In the pilot episode, Mark is tormented by a pack of kids that refer to him as "Clean shirt". Much later, in season 5, Mark confronts a group of burglars, and one of them once again refers to him as "Clean shirt". Mark's speechlessness and expression of disbelief at this may have something to do with how the actor is the same as the pilot episode's child actor, who has been confirmed to be playing the same character. Before his wedding at the beginning of Series 9, Super Hans winks at two identical boys - the twins he first mentioned in Series 6. Earlier in the series, Big Suze makes a throwaway comment to Mark about how she's auditioning for a theatre rendition of the movie Crash (the one where people get sexually turned on by car crashes). In series 6, she makes the same comment to Mark again, but this time she's auditioning for a theatre rendition of the other movie Crash (the one where people of different races and cultures clash with each other but find out they're all the same). In series 1, Mark establishes his breakfast routine as one slice of brown toast and one slice of white toast, which he thinks of as a main course and a dessert. In series 4, Jeremy tries to make it for him as a wedding day treat, but as their bread was ruined during the previous nightâ€™s festivities, all he can come up with is a cream cracker and a ryvita. Jez tells Sophie in series 1 that Mark â€œdraws vicious, horrible cartoons of you, wraps them up in sausage meat, and calls you a sausage muncherâ€�, but she doesnâ€™t buy it. He tells Cally the exact same thing in series 5, but this time she believes him. In Series 1, Jez and Super Hans perform fellatio on each other during a drug binge. In Series 9, while brainstorming ideas for his best man speech at Super Hansâ€™ wedding, Mark notes that he should touch on their friendship â€œminus all the bad blood and occasional sucking each other off.â€� In Series 1, Jeff tells Mark that he took Sophie for "a lovely Italian [dinner] and a couple bottles of wine" to make Mark feel insecure about taking his own date to a bowling alley, only for Sophie to later let slip that Jeff actually took her to Pizza Hut. Quite a bit later in Series 8, Mark describes his and Dobby's dinner of macaroni and mushy peas to Gerrard as "a romantic Italian dinner for two" to make him feel insecure about sharing a microwaved pie with Dobby. "University Challenge" from Series 2 and "Threeism" from Series 9 feature numerous parallels: Mark says "This is my chance, and I'm doing nothing. I am now, this instant, missing my chance." in both episodes, referring to making a move on April. In "University Challenge" Jez makes several references to the musician Bez. In Threeism, Mark remarks "I think Bez won Big Brother around then." when reminiscing about first meeting April. Both episodes feature a dinner party. In both episodes, Jez goes on a bizarre pseudointellectual ramble to an academic historian and makes a fool of himself. Both episodes feature Mark agonising over his choice of wine to bring to a party. In "University Challenge", Jez jokes that Mark's decision to study business instead of ancient history is "all ancient history now" which results in a judgemental stare from Mark. In "Threeism", Mark jokes in his monologue that he could tell April that them studying ancient history together was "all ancient history". In "University Challenge" it's mentioned that Jez came down with food poisoning after eating expired hummus he got from a corner shop. In "Threeism", Jez scoffs at Mark for making homemade hummus. In "University Challenge", Jez tells Professor Macleish that Mark would rather be at home watching Ghostbusters than studying history. In "Threeism", April makes an awkward Ghostbusters reference, which only causes Mark to become more smitten with her.

The job is so unappealing that even the interviewer can't believe that Jez actually wants it, asking him if he's "writing a novel or something." Jez thinks "Don't want to seem overqualified!" and replies "What's a novel?"

Some standout moments include: At one point, Mark is so desperate not to get married to Sophie that he spontaneously asks a coffee shop waitress to marry him instead. It goes exactly as you'd expect. In "Holiday," Jeremy has to eat a roasted dog in front of its owner who is none the wiser...until she notices the tag.

Possibly justified after JLB closes and his sanity goes down the toilet for a while. Big Suze, who goes from posh-accented but nice to, for lack of a better term, posh bitch for the later series (though she is only shown being a bitch to Mark, Jez and maybe Johnson, all of whom have treated her pretty shabbily). Sophie starts out as a dotty, occasionally grumpy woman who's easily manipulated by Mark and Jeff. From series 3 onwards, she's the one doing the manipulating and her mean spirited side is much more pronounced. Jez becomes noticeably stupider, naive and more simple-minded after series 5, possibly influenced by the quantity and regularity of the drugs that he consumes.

Peep Show / int_f9f2c33	comment	Running Gag: As an in-joke between them, Jeremy sometimes imitates a train horn to Mark, expecting him to reciprocate. Mark isn't quite as enthusiastic about doing so. Every time Jez is fired from a band, fired from a music-related job, etc. Super Hans protests and exclaims that he did all he could to prevent it, that it got him angry and that he nearly threatened the firers with an ultimatum, etc. but it's plainly obvious to Jez and the viewers that he just went with the flow, every time. Jez often uses the rather extreme "I love you" line on first dates as a guaranteed way of achieving sex. He has a surprising amount of success with it. The easy-listening band The Lighthouse Family, particularly their hit single Ocean Drive. Referenced in the very first episode where Super Hans refers to music industry execs (and by extension all other office workers, including Mark) as having their "ties done up to eleven clicking their fingers to the fucking Lighthouse Family". Both Mark and Johnson are shown listening to Ocean Drive, when Mark is running for the bus in the first episode of series 1 and playing in Johnson's car when he picks Mark up after the conference in episode 4. The song is also used for the end credits of the same episode. The gag shows up again in series 5 during Mark and Jez' party; Mark plugs his iPod in and this it is the first song to play, to Jeremy's disgust.

Peep Show / int_fe0330fb	comment	Brick Joke: In one episode, Super Hans claims he is going off crack. He gives Mark his pipe and tells Mark to refuse to give it back if he comes back asking for it, "even if I hit you hard with wood." Later in the episode, Super Hans is back with a large plank of wood, and simply says "Crack." Without missing a beat, Mark gives it back. When speaking to Valerie in the first series, Mark says that there's never been a better time to save up for a very expensive sofa. Cue series 6 and Mark has purchased said sofa, although given that it's on credit, and just in time for JLB to close post-recession, we can assume Mark never managed to save up the hard cash. In Jeremy Broke, Mark is frustrated at Jeremyâ€™s freeloading and makes a list of household items he does and does not have permission to use. He disallows Jeremy from using his razors, stating: â€œIf youâ€™re poor, grow a beard.â€� Later in the episode, after being kicked out of the house, Jeremy has grown some untidy stubble. In Series 1, Jez orders four naan, which Mark considers "an insane" amount. Later, in Series 8, Mark has ordered a deliberately excessive amount of Indian food to get Jez to admit that he already ate (and admit he missed an appointment). He mentions there's "a naan and a half each", meaning that even when he's intentionally being excessive, he can't bring himself to order four naan. In Series 4, Mark decides to run away from a disastrous meeting, and he considers going to KFC and having a bargain bucket. Three series later, when Sophie gives birth, Mark again runs away, and this time he does make it to the KFC and has a bucket.
