Trivia

Throughout the series, Mark has a large, modern flatscreen television in his lounge (although different models have been used), however a 2009 Guardian interview with David Mitchell, which was held in his flat, revealed that his own television was an old, long-obsolete model which couldn't even show teletext. Mitchell said he felt a certain pride in that it still worked fine and that "fear of change, laziness and business" was the reason he hadn't upgraded his home and its contents to something more befitting of his success as a comedian.

User Reviews

The best Brirish Comedy in years

It is true that this show did not attract a lot of viewers. I watched it on its first airing but, to be honest, this was pure luck, there was nothing else on to watch so i decided to watch it. After the first episode i was hooked. It was wonderfully written and just brilliant overall. Nearly everything is funny from the things each person says to the looks on their faces in certain situations. (See Jeremy's face when he refers to "the bad thing")

After seeing it i had to tell my friends. People can get very proud when they say that they switched a particular group of people onto a film or T.V show and i am no different. It is a comedy i am proud i stumbled upon and a show i'm sure you'll love once you've seen.

After series 1 i was disappointed, i knew that they wouldn't be making anymore, it was on the late night T.V slot and never talked about, i was horrified to know that there would be no more Peep show.

Then BANG, Series 2 came on. And no, it didn't get worse. In fact i find it improved upon the first and seemed more confident. I am A big fan of the office but i find peep show somehow, well, i find it a lot funnier, don't know about you. 5/5
