- Summary: Mark becomes depressed about Sophie living with Jeff,but Jeremy is not sure that self-mutilation is the answer. Besides,Jeremy and Jeff are getting on horribly well.
- Description:Peep Show returns for a second series in which socially dysfunctional 20somethings Mark (David Mitchell) and Jeremy (Robert Webb) share a flat in south London and their inner thoughts can still be heard - whether they be dark,stupid or embarrassingly overblown. Problem-solving is most definitely not their forte,as they struggle to find answers to love and fulfilment as well less stressful tasks such as what DVD to watch,what drugs to take,and where to find each other's porn stash. Mark is hopelessly in love with a girl called Sophie from work but has to compete for her affections with his irritatingly smug work colleague Jeff. Jez has always had a bit of a thing for the girl next door,Toni but she has just got back with her husband who is also called Tony. Luckily he has met a very attractive American called Nancy but is not sure if he can keep her interested. His dodgy mate Superhans is still around to help him with his so called 'music career' which never manages to ever really get off the ground. Created by: Andrew O'Connor,Jesse Armstrong,Sam Bain Director: Tristram Shapeero Producer: Phil Clarke Cast: Rachel Blanchard (Nancy),Olivia Colman (Sophie),Neil Fitzmaurice (Jeff),John Hodgekinson (Tony),Patterson Joseph (Alan Johnson),Matt King (Superhans),David Mitchell (Mark),Elizabeth Marmur (Toni),Robert Webb (Jeremy) and Angus H. Little,Jordan Long (Episode five) Mark is finding it hard to deal with Jeff and Sophie's relationship so comes up with various ideas like doing a bungee jump with Sophie for charity but then realising he is afraid of heights and trying to befriend Jeff. Unfortunately the only result he gets from the latter is that Jeremy becomes good mates with Jeff as Superhans and Nancy are both away and he is in need of attention. Mark then says he is gay and Jeff tells him even if he wasn't he is still not a threat to him. Mark takes this as an invitation to go round to Sophie and Jeff's for the night and offers to keep Sophie company whilst Jeff and Jez go to the pub. Sophie is clearly not interested in Mark and Jeff adds insult to injury by asking Mark to go and get them some condoms when he returns home. Jeremy tells Mark that Jeff got off with a girl in the pub and makes him swear not to tell. Mark is over the moon and tells Sophie straight away. Sophie turns up at the flat in tears and Jeff tries to get in to see her but Mark fights him off with a broom. Eventually Sophie says she wants to see him and leaves,Jeremy congratulates Mark on losing his woman and his new mate all at the same time.
