naturally it was the cor anglais, Dadaismus.

― Barnaby (Barnaby), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 22:41 (twenty years ago)

yes xpost

Let's do our bit to at least get a special out of 4.

David Mitchell (Mark) was excellent on HIGNFY the other night.

is there going to be another series

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 17 May 2006 11:07 (twenty years ago)

no.

ooh, bigger than 'little britain', likely.

"Mitchell, 32, first met Webb, 33, when they were at Cambridge University, studying History and English, respectively. Mitchell, whose parents lived in Oxford, didn't find his new surroundings particularly remarkable."

this has taken my unfortunate identification up a notch.

We applied for tickets to watch the new thing being recorded, but alas it was not to be. We get to go to a new comedy set in a library instead oh my sides.

So is series 3 (of Peep Show) still due out on DVD in October? Barely an month woo!

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 25 August 2006 12:54 (nineteen years ago)

oh the library one stas somebody ok, can't quite remember who though.

― a rapper singing about hos and bitches and money (Enrique), Friday, 25 August 2006 12:55 (nineteen years ago)

That Mitchell and Webb Look is less severe, like A Bit of Fry and Laurie minus the traces of public-school smugness

Boo to dig at "A Bit of" Fry and Laurie

― dud Hab 'C' dEva (Dada), Friday, 25 August 2006 12:58 (nineteen years ago)

another for the 'mis-projection of smugness' dossier.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Friday, 25 August 2006 13:00 (nineteen years ago)

Can't wait for the S3 DVD either. Peep Show is the funniest British sitcom in a while (I can't believe I forgot it when doing a run-down of my favourites a while ago), the rightful heir to Father Ted's golden age and second to Arrested Development overall as best contemporary. Don't get me started on Little Britain, though. Good luck America, the problem's yours now! :-D

― Scourage (Haberdager), Friday, 25 August 2006 13:01 (nineteen years ago)

Rebecca Front and Morwenna Banks are in the library thing (ominously called 'Shush' but I'll reserve judgement...)

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 25 August 2006 13:04 (nineteen years ago)

But I swear to god if either of their characters wear a cardigan I will turn in my masters degree right then and there.

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 25 August 2006 13:06 (nineteen years ago)

yeah lol @ guardian writer hating on public school types.

― a rapper singing about hos and bitches and money (Enrique), Friday, 25 August 2006 13:07 (nineteen years ago)

people get paid for doing that? i've been at it for years and never seen a penny for it :(

― The Real DG (D to thee G), Friday, 25 August 2006 13:11 (nineteen years ago)

Public school 'types'? Do you realise that if I were to hate on 'state school types' then I'd be hung, drawn and quartered (or at least shoved off ILX)? There's no common public school 'type' any more than in other demographics. If there's one thing I dislike it's crass generalisations, and everyone who makes them is a dick.

― Scourage (Haberdager), Friday, 25 August 2006 13:15 (nineteen years ago)

what are you moaning about? it's you who gets easier entrance to oxbridge so you can be underemployed after leaving having bought yr masters and spend yr time ranting about rockists on the internet

― The Real DG (D to thee G), Friday, 25 August 2006 13:17 (nineteen years ago)

louis m'dear, this isn't the thread for it.

but which school did you go to?

― a rapper singing about hos and bitches and money (Enrique), Friday, 25 August 2006 13:17 (nineteen years ago)

Trying to make me feel sorry for people who went to public school isn't going to work any more than convincing me that hating on public school types is equivalent to hating on state school types

― dud Hab 'C' dEva (Dada), Friday, 25 August 2006 13:20 (nineteen years ago)

That last bit was A JOAK GUYZZZ, erm, I went to Westminster on a scholarship (i.e. we're not very rich and I basically needed reduced fees to get in) and enjoyed it greatly. :-) I wasn't really moaning.

chiz chiz

Whenever I see the Young Knives I think of Mitchell.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Friday, 25 August 2006 13:33 (nineteen years ago)

Full article now up.

'Daytime television is great because being annoyed is really helpful for writing a sketch,' says Mitchell. 'You don't have to watch much daytime television to get annoyed, mainly with yourself for watching it.'

Webb agrees. 'And the adverts in between daytime television! You know, the debt relief thing: "Being fucked by a hundred tiny cocks? Join us and get fucked by one big cock!"'

Also, there is going to be a fourth series!

― g00blar (gooblar), Sunday, 27 August 2006 12:49 (nineteen years ago)

Peep Show is the funniest British sitcom in a while

absolutely. i just started watching this six months ago and it's probably the funniest thing i've seen in years. now if bbc america will just parcel us out the third series by the end of 2007 thanks.

― GOD PUNCH TO HAWKWIND (yournullfame), Sunday, 27 August 2006 13:04 (nineteen years ago)

It's certainly the most liberally quotable sitcom I've seen in recent years. The scripting is phenomenal.

― Scourage (Haberdager), Sunday, 27 August 2006 13:33 (nineteen years ago)

It really is. They toss away gags that would be the centrepiece of a whole scene in a lesser programme.

― chap who would dare to start Raaatpackin (chap), Sunday, 27 August 2006 13:38 (nineteen years ago)

'You basically can't exist in London for less than a tenner a day. I thought, "Where the fuck am I going to get a tenner every fucking day?"'

SO TRUE

― a rapper singing about hos and bitches and money (Enrique), Tuesday, 29 August 2006 07:46 (nineteen years ago)

I met someone in real life who I can't believe is not a fictional shard from Peep Show, cast fugitive into our world. She's lived in "Stokie" "since twenty oh three" and "loves it, man," has a long-term girlfriend (who has a long-term boyfriend), is born-again, and also speaks very positively about yogic meditation. She says doctors are shit, the NHS is full of wankers, and we'd be better off giving money to the police to stop another terrorist attack.

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Tuesday, 29 August 2006 08:45 (nineteen years ago)

that last bit is rather un-stokey!

― a rapper singing about hos and bitches and money (Enrique), Tuesday, 29 August 2006 08:51 (nineteen years ago)

Not really, most hippies are closet fascists

― dud Hab 'C' dEva (Dada), Tuesday, 29 August 2006 15:04 (nineteen years ago)

she's born again! she's a lesbian! she has a girlfriend who has a boyfriend! she's just CONFUSED in this fucked up world we live in man, what can you do, just keep on going mate you know?

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Tuesday, 29 August 2006 15:12 (nineteen years ago)

(the police comments really NAILED it for me, actually)

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Tuesday, 29 August 2006 15:12 (nineteen years ago)

To be fair, there ARE some shit doctors in this city.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Tuesday, 29 August 2006 15:17 (nineteen years ago)

My GP for one

― dud Hab 'C' dEva (Dada), Tuesday, 29 August 2006 15:18 (nineteen years ago)

London's entire polyamourous population needs to be shot.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 29 August 2006 15:19 (nineteen years ago)

With a core audience of more than a million viewers and brisk DVD sales, a fourth series is scheduled to start shooting in January.

Hooray. The wife and I have been forcing Peep Show on friends for a year now in an attempt to "grow" the US audience. The first season's a thing of beauty.

Mitchell and Webb sketch show thingie on BBC2 now. It is, let's be honest, not Peep Show.

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 14 September 2006 19:52 (nineteen years ago)

it's not even a Man Stroke Woman. mind you that didn't have the laugh track.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Thursday, 14 September 2006 19:53 (nineteen years ago)

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar!

― g00blar (gooblar), Thursday, 14 September 2006 20:02 (nineteen years ago)

God that was awful. I quite liked the radio programme but they really didn't manage to transfer it to television very well.

― theantmustdance (theantmustdance), Thursday, 14 September 2006 20:03 (nineteen years ago)

Yipes. Extras wasn't much good either.

― Teh littlest HoBBo (the pirate king), Thursday, 14 September 2006 20:04 (nineteen years ago)

Really? Jesus, the banana dance nearly made me sick laughing. I really enjoyed the whole thing, in fact. You guys are a tough room.

Extras was okay, but really, selling out your artistic sensibilities in order to become a big star isn't really a life-situation I have much empathy with.

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Thursday, 14 September 2006 20:08 (nineteen years ago)

I thought Extras was superb and M&W was a bit rubbish.

― chap who would dare to start Raaatpackin (chap), Thursday, 14 September 2006 20:10 (nineteen years ago)

I actually got confused right at the start (following straight on from Extras) and thought the German uniforms sketch was a paradoy of a bad sketch show.
