- 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: Alice Arnold,Olivia Colman (Sophie),Patrick Driver,Neil Edmond,Daisy Haggard,Alexander Kirk,Elizabeth Marmur (Toni),David Mitchell (Mark),Robert Webb (Jeremy) (Episode six) Jeremy's uncle dies of a terminal disease and he and Mark both manage to use it as a way to pull women. Mark gets Sophie to come to the funeral and they end up kissing. They go on a weekend away to stay in a cottage but at the last minute decided to invite Jez as he has had to get tested to see whether he also has the fatal disease that his uncle had. Whilst Mark goes to fetch the condoms he discovers Jeremy passed out on the floor with a bottle of pills next to him. Jeremy did not take an overdose but he did manage to spoil the moment for Mark and Sophie. Once back at work Sophie tells Mark that funerals are an emotional time and that they should go back to being friends. Jeremy goes round to see Toni to tell her he has the disease in order to get a sympathy shag and as she has just split up with her boyfriend she is willing. Jez realises that he has reached a new low but believes it was worth it.
