A British sitcom following the lives of Mark (David Mitchell) and Jez (Robert Webb), two socially dysfunctional roommates from their twenties to thirties who have nothing in common but having a normal life and a flat in Croydon, South London. Since 2003, it has been on Channel 4 and the show's eight series in late 2012 makes it the longest-returning comedy in Channnel 4's history. The sitcom also uses a unique filming style and shows the point of view shots being able to hear the main characters thoughts and internal monologues as voice-overs. The programme is written by Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain with Mitchell and Webb's additional material amongs others.
Mark Corrigan has steady employment for most of the series and Jeremy "Jez" Usbourne is an unemployed aspiring musician.Mark is financially secure but is always shy and socially inept with a cynical attitude which makes him the total opposite of Jeremy. Jeremy, on the other hand, usually has a much more positive and vigorous perspective on the world, yet his declared talent as a musician has to be recognised. He is more successful with the opposite sex than Mark but he is not as famous or interesting as he would like to think himself.
Peep Show is considered to be a cult television show. Early reviews called it "promising" and recognised it had "the sniff of a cult favourite". It was claimed that the series in years to come, Peep Show will "be seen as the pinnacle of comedy it obviously is." by Jane Simon of the Mirror. It also won several awards including the titles "The Best Returning British TV Sitcom 2007" and "Comedy of the Year 2008" in The Comedy.co.uk Awards. The Guardian newspaper described it as "the best comedy of the decade" while The Times praised the show's "scorching writing" and named it the 15th best TV show of the 2000s.
Channel 4 announced in September 2013 that the show will end with its ninth series, which will air in 2014.
