Peep Show (now with added Mitchell & Webb Look)

To me it seems like people are looking for and expecting a decline in quality as it's gone on for a relatively long time, whereas if there has actually been one it's only been slight. Series 6 made me laugh my arse off.

S4 was the worse, but they've really rallied from that IMO.

Watched it. Not a classic but definitely funny.

was ok.

the Robert's Web thing that followed it was funnier than it should've been based on the tv listing / premise.

Yeah it was ok. The only laugh out loud part was the "sad gnome, fishing for turds".

This week's was back on form. Dobby club. Awesome.

Yeah, was much better than last week.

Don't fancy Jez's new love interest as much as his previous ones, tbf

First episode of the season that's really hit the spot for me. "I've mistakenly run to Windsor".

Sorry, that should read first episode of the SERIES. Been talking about American telly too much.

The set up was great and there were very funny bits but I'm not sure they really matched the comic potential of Mark buying a dildo. Or for that matter Jez holding a book group.

Superhans great obviously. Hopefully he's in every episode.

fancy jez's new love interest more than the other ones.

birth ep was weak but the two since have been brilliant, my favourites so far. so pleased it's still great

Just watched the second and third episodes and felt they were many steps above the first of the series - wonderful.

I like the way Jez and Mark are interacting more this series. Feels like they're friends again.

Most of my favourite moments of Peep Show have been just Jez & Mez and their conversations.

superhans' wood-crack-running monologue was his finest moment so far, eye-bulgingly brilliant

love mark's mockery of mr. nice

The scene with Mark & Jez walking along the street where Jez suggests Mark needs to "grow a pair" and then "rip her a new one" had me in near tears.

I noticed there was a different writer on Friday's episode - not Armstrong/Bain. They should use Friday's guy more often, was miles better than the previous two episodes.

Yeah, this was great stuff. First two were a little iffy. Still funnier than 99% of stuff on TV.

The boss character is so great, what a horrible bastard.

Peep Show absolutely revels in creating supporting characters who are either total idiots or total wankers.

first half of last night's was great (very stephen moffat in his press gang / joking apart years. i thought). second half tailed off a bit but...

Yes - from the netherzone bit it was shaping up to be all-time... fizzled out once they got in the shower.

bottled the bottle episode

ive seen something using that 'locked in the stairwell between the flat and the main exit' type plot device before, possibly an old film noir or a hitchcock presents/twilight zone. is it a nod to something really obvious that im missing?

Episode was amazing I thought, one of the best in any series. Jeff is now looking like a cross between David Cameron and Dennis Wise, which is about as easily hateable as its possible to be.

yes, plot very familiar but am having trouble placing it. involved being naked iirc.

This actually happened to me several years ago, at night, with those lights that automatically turn themselves off after a minute, until I was rescued in the morning. But I'm guessing/hoping I wasn't the inspiration for this episode. There was an episode of The Peter Prinicple (where Jim Broadbent is a bank manager) where he got trapped in the entrance to his bank for the whole weekend in similar circumstances.

the early malle policier ascenseur pour l'echafaud involves a meticulously planned murder going awry when the protagonist spends most of the movie trapped in the elevator. not very close but ' an old film noir or a hitchcock presents/twilight zone ' type scenario

dial 'm' for murder turns on access to the stairwell via a certain key

There was an episode of The Peter Prinicple (where Jim Broadbent is a bank manager) where he got trapped in the entrance to his bank for the whole weekend in similar circumstances.

There was an episode of Friends where this happens to Chandler. Except instead of his irritating best mate, he gets stuck with a playboy playmate. Less comedy than Peep Show ensues.

i dont think its any of these im thinking of, it's a v hazy memory though - could even be something like an episode of league of gentlemen. this is gonna bug me for ages..

haha, OK, Christmas episode was aces.

There was a hilarious conversation about potatoes. Not sure I bought Mark's mum being all risque, but his dad was suitably monstrous.

fuck off poirot = alltime lolz, also potato conversation, plus everything Superhans said.

This one and episode 3 were both pretty good. I know it's dangerous for the show for characters to have any kind of growth or self-knowledge, but Dobby and Mark both had pretty awesome moments that came close.

christmas ep was bloody brilliant (although in an old ep, Mark was sniggering about how Jez thinks potatoes "count" as one of your 5-a-day, would have been good to elaborate on this a bit...?)

Oh hey, Mark's dad was Kate Winslet's dad in Heavenly Creatures. Knew he looked familiar.

Wow yeah, well spotted.

No love for the final episode of s7? I thought it was great. "No Mark, not the Hootenanny, never the Hootenanny!"
Mark is a little weasel though. You'd think he'd be wise to Geoff (GEOFF?!!) by now.

Eh, has it broadcast already? I had no idea.

last night. is repeated on E4 on 31st at 11:00pm and 1:50am (and an hour later on E4+1)
and on the 5th on CH4 at 11:40pm (and 00:40am on CH4+1)

Dave's also showing repeats *from the beginning* starting at 11:00pm on 3rd

(repeats are weekly)

SuperHans' party.

that was actually the first ever episode, last night? I saw most of it.
