Desperately wants to be ITK
Peep show is probably my favourite TV show ever. I fear that it peaked with S5. I thought that S6 & S7 were on a downward trajectory that I hope does not continue.
Sunday 25th November at 10pm is when the new series starts.No sign of it yet
This. Nothing beats the first 3-4 series up to the wedding. Me and the missus have been re-watching them all and last nights episode was no where near its best.I dont know. I still dont think it is as good as it was in the early seasons but I guess it was the novelty of it back then. I found Mark's eccentricities, especially, funnier in the early days.
But it did strike me as feeling better than the last season or two have been.
Yeah it wasn't up to the standard of seasons 2-5, but seemed a bit fresher than 6 and 7. Typically the opening episode is often a steady scene-setter, so I'd expect the standard to rise over the course of the next weeks.I dont know.

I'd smack season 1 in there as well, that might actually be the best of all. This wasn't up there with those mentioned, but it was fresher than a lot of the stuff from 6 & 7. But I think season 7 was pretty good, the episode where they celebrate new year is far out (was that season 7?).Yeah it wasn't up to the standard of seasons 2-5, but seemed a bit fresher than 6 and 7.

I watched that ep again last night and found it far funnier then when I watched it first time around.But I think season 7 was pretty good, the episode where they celebrate new year is far out (was that season 7?)
I always thought Mitchell and Webb wrote itSam Bain did a twitter q&a last nite. I'll put it in spoilers because there are a few casting decisions discussed.
Sam Bain @sambaintv He auditioned RT @tomcross88: you mentioned you had Danny Dyer originally in mind for Super Hans. Did you approach him for the role?
Sam Bain @sambaintv
No more Johnson this series unfortunately RT @NiallJones: @sambaintv will we be seeing more of Johnson?
Sam Bain @sambaintv
He’s in every episode RT @Iain_Owenson: @sambaintv Brilliant! Will we be seeing a lot of superhans this series?
Sam Bain @sambaintv
Sadly not. RT @philmaine1985: @sambaintv is Olivia Colman in this series?
Sam Bain @sambaintv
Harry Hill’s (unconscious theft) RT @tsingham Russell Brand has used a 'heroin is moreish' line in his stand-up for years. His gag or yours?
Sam Bain @sambaintv
We have a ‘plot party’ at the start of each series RT @GreenyyMan: Do @RealDMitchell & @arobertwebb have any say in the script writing?
Sam Bain @sambaintv
Originally it was chips, Tom Basden suggested curry RT @coombsmatt: How much thought went into deciding what curries Mark presented to Jez?
Sam Bain @sambaintv
Nope. Pastures new RT @PeepShowQuote: @sambaintv Will we see any more of Jez's former girlfriends? Nancy. Zara, Elena, Big Suze etc.
Yeah, they really should have waited 22.3 years on that one.
I think that was supposed to be the theme for the one episode. Personally I thought that the first ep of the new series was good, last night was lacking somewhat though, there were a few laughs in there.It's really not up to scratch this series. Also Mark seems to have become a naive impetuous idiot and Jeremy is suddenly the sensible one?
They've definitely run out of steam. Time to call it a day.
Yeah, I liked it as well. Got a bit of a Nancy flash back when Jez slept with his "coach" and she started to talk about taboos.I thought it was good. I watched it round my mate's, though, and I think you tend to laugh more in company.
Intentional reference. The fake publisher mentions Frankfurt as well- where JLB's head office used to be.Yeah, I liked it as well. Got a bit of a Nancy flash back when Jez slept with his "coach" and she started to talk about taboos.
Yeah, and Dobby starting to hang out at night clubs might be a reference to when Sophie started clubbing as well. Very similar scenario.Intentional reference. The fake publisher mentions Frankfurt as well- where JLB's head office used to be.
