Why isn't Peep Show more popular?, 14 November 2005
Author: grahammeredithjones from London, England

I don't know exactly why it hasn't gained the recognition it deserves. Perhaps that will change with the pat on the head it received from Ricky Gervais on the poster I saw on the tube.

It may not be the wittiest show on British television, but watching the second series screened late in the evening after "Teachers" it seemed like Oscar Wilde in comparison.

It is just "The Odd Couple" I suppose, a cross between that and a much more understated version of "Bottom", but the conflict between the attitudes of the two main characters is very engaging. The supporting characters are good too - Sophie, Super Hans, Johnson etc. - stereotypical but rounded. It is mercifully short of lad mag machismo, or when it rears its head it is not without shed-loads of self-deprecation and post-modern irony. Is that why it doesn't have much a following from its target audience of immature males? I imagine for it to be shown at peak time they would have to cut out the obscenity, though Mark's bland, yet frightening, yet endearing conservatism seems to mitigate that somehow - and the cynicism.

I haven't seen any of the third series. My TV set broke down recently and British television is at such a nadir at the moment I don't feel inspired to buy a new one, even if the Dude Bros are addicted to Big Brother. I just got the DVD of the first series out of the library (I played it on the computer) and that is worth seeing for Mark's extras: the hilarious digital camcorder CV and appalled readings from one of his militaristic tomes by his mates.
