Peep Show

[Henry]

That was :drool:

Who watched it?

[Yevrah]

I saw the last 20 minutes. Was good.

[Vim]

I've really got high hopes for this last season, especially after the good premiere.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I'm missing series 6 onwards, which I'm quite ambivalent about as I enjoyed the first 5 so much and did so at a slightly different stage of my life that I'm not sure I want to ruin the memories just yet. Maybe that's a load of old cobblers though and I should get on it.

[Ian]

Was it actually funny, then? I forgot it was even on until I saw it on the Sky guide there. I've set it to record but I'd set my expectations at... well... really quite shit.

[Boydy]

It was great.

[Browning]

Yea it was incredible. I'm tempted to say up there with it's best episodes.

I could watch Super Hans forever though.

[Lewis]

I've never found it that funny. In fact the funniest thing about it was 'Jord' desperately trying to get those Mark Corrigan comparisons to stick.

[niko_cee]

Haven't seen Peep Show for about, I dunno, 5 years. Which seems odd. I used to love it back in the day.

[phonics]

I really enjoyed the show up until I think the fifth season. Mark was in yet another marriage he didn't want to be in and they end up setting a barn on fire. It was bad.

[SvN]

Yet another? He wasn't even married at that point.

I thought last night's episode was brilliant, and the best for a few seasons.

[phonics]

He was constantly in relationships with people he didn't want to be with but was too awkward to say no to. As I say, it's been a long time since I saw it but after whatever that season was it kind of ruined everything else for me.

[SvN]

You might be on about season five, where he thought every women he interacted with was "the one", which was a bit shit, admittedly. But he was the one getting dumped rather than not wanting to be with them. Apart from the girl who raped him.

[Ian]

Well that wasn't anything like a peak of the show but it was very much a pleasant surprise.

[Clunge]

Best episode for three or four series'.

[Baz]

I binge watched them all about a year ago, so this turning up is a pleasant surprise.

It's extra funny because Super Hans is the spitting image of a mate of mine, who was recently outcast.

[Manc]

Just caught up. Sterling return.

[DickButkis]

"See you in the morning, Jerry" had me creased.

[SvN]

In contrast to last week's episode, I thought last night's ranked as one of the worst ever. A few laughs here and there, but didn't really hit the spot for me.

[Henry]

Yeah, a lot of it seemed very forced.

[Vim]

I thought it wasn't as good, still decent though. It needed some Johnson, also I want crack addict Hans back.

[Boydy]

Yeah, I didn't think last night's was very good either.

[Browning]

Agreed. Such a shame. Quite a few good set ups to things that could have been brilliant and then fell flat.

[Ian]

It wasn't as good as last week but I thought it was still better than the majority of the last... two series or so. Maybe more.

[Max Power]

Dobby was a character that needed a three episode arc at most. No need to bring her back yet again.

Still laughed four or five times during the episode, but as others have said; not as good at last weeks.

[Kikó]

As not much of a watcher of Peep Show, was the bumming normal?

[Boydy]

Nah. It seemed a bit too outlandish to me.

[Lee]

Jeremy doing gay stuff isn't new. It didn't feel out of place to me. Dobby is shit. She ruins any episode she's in, which is a huge shame as she's in loads of the fuckers.

[Ian]

I just liked Hans' comments when they were watching the video.

"How long've you been recording Jez having sex, Mark?"

[Browning]

The highlight for me was "the fucking twins" showing up.

[Clunge]

I guffawed like a goon during parts of that second episode. I thought it was even better than the first one.

[Spoonsky]

Never even heard of this. :\

[Spoonsky]

Just watched this:

That is pretty good. :D

[Vim]

"It's not piss." :D

[Vim]

This one was even better than the first one, imo. :drool:

[Baz]

I guffawed like a goon during parts of that second episode. I thought it was even better than the first one.same here. The webcam part unfolding had me really laughing.

[Reg]

I thought the second episode was really good, quite a lot funnier than the first. Glad this is back.

[Browning]

This has been quality so far.

[SvN]

Back to form tonight I thought. I almost fell off my chair when it cut to Mark wearing eye shadow.

[leedsrevolution]

It's all been pretty good so far. Shame it's the last season as they could keep this show going forever.

[Henry]

Just caught the third. Totally fucked up and brilliant. :D

Mashed beans. :D

[leedsrevolution]

It's Moroccan.

[wullie]

Mark's manic face when Jeremy was going to draw on his eyelids was frightening.

[Browning]

This was great again.

"5 figures total.... 3 figures actual." :D

[Henry]

"He's like a teddybear. Just a very violent teddybear."

:D

[Clunge]

The cocaine and colonoscopy bits were utterly lolarious.

[Ian]

This series really does make you wonder just what the fuck they were up to for the last ones.

[phonics]

Isn't this the last season? It's probably easier to write towards when the end is in sight rather than the fifth season of a sitcom when you'd rather be working on another project.

[Clunge]

It's never been a show with an envisaged story arc though. It's been commissioned a series at a time. This is the first and only series with a definitive end point. This will be the end so they can clearly push things as far as they want.

It's a shame series five through eight were pretty awful though.

[igor_balis]

Yeah, this has been unexpectedly good so far, and i'm glad it is finishing on what feels like a relative high after the general shitness of seasons 5-8. Cf. The Simpsons.

[Yevrah]

Caught up and I'm really enjoying it.

I know they've said it will be the last series, but it's not as if any of the leads are about to Hugh Laurie it in Hollywood so it wouldn't surprise me if they carry on.

[Yevrah]

Oh and loving the new Machiavellian Mark.

[Henry]

They'll probably die at the end or something. It's always been quite dark.

[Henry]

Wasn't great last night I thought. Bit flat.

[Browning]

Is it really the last one tonight? Fuck sake.

[Browning]

That Norwich line was brilliant.

[Henry]

That last one was a bit depressing and not particularly funny, I thought.

[Browning]

Yea, doesn't feel like a proper ending at all.

[igor_balis]

I thought a bit of an understated and depressing final scene was the perfect way to end it.

[Henry]

It did properly pull the rug out when you thought it just might end happily for Mark.

[SvN]

I thought the last two eps were a bit disappointing all in all. Still a decent series overall, but nowhere near the likes of seasons 2 and 3.

[igor_balis]

The whole season was worth it just for Super Hans calling the the fish 'old school' and 'one of the good guys'.

[Mike]

A pretty fitting end, both still stuck in that flat with nowhere else to go/be with. Both where they belong.

[Yevrah]

It'll be back.

[Reg]

A couple of really funny episodes but on the whole probably only a little better than the disappointing last couple seasons.

[igor_balis]

It'll be back.

For a couple of specials perhaps, but I'd be amazed if they do a proper series.

[Clunge]

I thought that was quite poignant.

BUT.

I thought, for once, just for once, they might have gone for the happily ever after finale. It would have jarred so much with the show as a whole, would have been an interesting end.

[Henry]

That's kind of what happened in The Office...

[Ian]

That just didn't feel like a last episode, somehow. I don't know if that actually means anything but it seemed a bit odd.

[John]

'Last ever' is basically just a marketing line now. Everything will go on until forever unless either there's a finite amount of story to tell or the people involved get too big for the thing.

[Clunge]

Henry Good point, forgot about that. In fact, I always forget how great those Office specials were.
