British Comedy Awards®
2006 - Best TV Comedy
Take a peep at
life through the private eyes of wannabe
self-obsessed pop star Jeremy (Robert Webb)
and his just-plain-obsessive roommate Mark
(David Mitchell). The BAFTA-nominated
hit seen on BBC America and hailed as
"Hilariously disorienting" (Village Voice)
and "a lot like The Office" (Entertainment
Weekly) is wickedly dark, shockingly funny
and weirdly hilarious.
"Comedy as only the British can do it."- The New york Times
"Hilariously disorienting"- The Village Voice
Peep Show is the innovative comedy series from BBC America seen through the eyes of the core characters. In an inventive twist, their inner thoughts and feelings can be heard - whether they be dark, stupid or embarrasingly over-blown.
Wannabe popstar Jeremy (Robert Webb) is a lazy man with big ideas, mostly about himself. He has been thrown out by his ex 'Big Suze' and has ended up living with Mark (David Mitchell), his old friend, who has a completely different no-pain-no-gain view of the world. Socially dysfunctional in their different ways, Mark and Jeremy have an unhealthy reliance on each other - a dependance that can turn to frustration.And to further complicate their existence, Mark - in his half-assed way - is in pursuit of the love of his life, co-worker Sophie (Olivia Colman), while Jeremy lives in awe of his idiotic and manipulative mate Super Hans and their beautiful but brittle neighbor Toni.
