- 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.

He starts to think she is sleeping with a homeless man called Nim when she is actually just helping him with his forms. Due to all the sexual frustration they end up arguing and he tells her to go and screw Nim. Meanwhile Mark sees Sophie and Jeff snogging in the store room so he befriends the security guards and gets to watch it all on the cameras. He and Jeremy go to the park and spy on Sophie and Jeff playing crazy golf whilst pretending to have a picnic. Later that night a news report shows Mark drinking a beer at the park with the headline 'anti social behaviour'. Everyone thinks he has a drink problem and his boss Alan Johnson takes a particular interest in him because he used to be an alcoholic. Mark is desperate to go to Aberdeen because he will get to spend two weeks with Sophie so he goes to an AA meeting with Alan and makes up details about his alcoholism. This all falls through when Alan catches him in the pub and decides he cannot be trusted to go to Aberdeen.
