- Description:Peep Show is a narrative comedy series seen through the eyes of the core characters and each character's inner thoughts can be heard - whether they be dark,stupid or embarrassingly overblown. At the centre of Peep Show are Mark and Jeremy,who share a flat in Apollo Towers and couldn't be more different; Mark is the sensitive one with a disturbing interest in World War II and Jeremy is the lazy one who dreams of becoming a musician but is too preoccupied with admiring himself in the mirror. Mark - in his cack-handed way - is in pursuit of the love of his life,office co-worker Sophie,while Jeremy lives in awe of his idiotic and manipulative mate Superhans and their beautiful but brittle neighbour Toni. Created by: Andrew O'Connor,Jesse Armstrong,Sam Bain Director: Jeremy Wooding Producer: Phil Clarke Cast: Kier Charles,Olivia Colman (Sophie),Neil Fitzmaurice,Phillip Herbert,John Hodgekinson,Elizabeth Marmur (Toni),Kyl Messios,David Mitchell (Mark),Flora Newbigin,Robert Webb (Jeremy) (Episode three) Jeremy persuades Mark to come to a party with him and it turns out to be an eventful evening; somehow Mark manages to pull an attractive college student without even trying and Jeremy gets shunned by every woman at the party. Mark and Valerie decide to ditch the party and go to laser bowl instead but Jeremy invites himself along and gets Toni to join them. Mark experiences what it is like to have 'fun' when Valerie gives him a blow back on a joint and he gets 'high'. Things are going great until Sophie turns up having been on a date with Geoff. They join him and Valerie and things seem to be going well as Valerie turns out to be very witty and Sophie even starts to look a little jealous. Things go down hill though when Mark loses his temper with Geoff who has been trying to wind him up all night and starts throwing fruit at the pins. Valerie comes back to the flat and they have sex but all Mark can think about is whether Sophie and Geoff are having sex and then Valerie tries to strangle him. Jeremy thinks he has hit the jackpot when Toni drags him back to her place only to find her ex-boyfriend Tony there packing his things up. Toni gets Jez to have noisy sex with her with the door open so Tony can see and hear but he seems unfazed and continues to collect up his belongings around them.
