Peep Show - Series 1
Welcome to the private world of Jeremy and Mark - two very ordinary weirdos. Peep Show is the innovative comedy series from Channel 4 seen through the eyes of the core characters. In an inventive twist, their inner thoughts and feelings can be heard - whether they be dark, stupid or embarrassingly over-blown. Wannabe popstar Jeremy (Robert Webb) is a lazy man with big ideas, mostly about himself. He has been thrown out by his ex 'Big Suze' and has ended up living with Mark (David Mitchell), his old friend, who has a completely different no-pain-no-gain view of the world. Socially dysfunctional in their different ways, Mark and Jeremy have an unhealthy reliance on one another - a dependence that can turn to frustration. And to further complicate their existence, Mark - in his cack-handed way - is in pursuit of the love of his life, co-worker Sophie (Olivia Colman), while Jeremy lives in awe of his idiotic and manipulative mate Super Hans and their beautiful but brittle neighbour Toni.

A comedy classic in the making
Sheer brilliance. The concept of hearing the thoughts of the two social misfits both adds another level to the comedy and allows one self to identify with the ideas being put across.
The characters consider themselves to be so different yet they are essentially the same. Having to ability to drop social faux pas and a distinct inability to achieve their goals.
The characters are both believable and engaging, and all this before a mention of the comedy. Once again it echoes brilliance both in its material and delivery. In short- a must see. If you don?t find this funny seek medical assistance. -

Take a Peep at this
- 11 Aug 2006
The screen adaptation of Christopher Priest's novel The Prestige, which follows a battle between two rival magicians for each other's secrets, should do well at the box office- after all it has both Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale on board. But there is another magician pairing studio execs plan to unleash on the film-going public and the success of this one is a lot harder to determine. The magicians in question are Robert Webb and David Mitchell, who fans of cult British comedy Peep Show will Read more
