Peep Show - Season 03

Writers Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain met actors/writers Mitchell and Webb during a failed attempt to complete a team-written sitcom for the BBC. They had an old, unproduced script that they wanted to revive called All Day Breakfast and brought in Mitchell and Webb to help out. The show did not work out but the four developed as a partnership,[13] and one idea eventually evolved into Peep Show for Channel 4.[14] Peep Show was originally conceived as a sitcom in the style of Beavis and Butt-head revolving around two characters watching and discussing television. However, the idea was dropped due to the large expense that airing clips from other shows would bring as well as Mitchell and Webb's fear that, because their characters would only be watching television, \"[they] wouldn't be in the show\".[15]
Instead, Armstrong and Bain opted to produce a more story-based sitcom with an unconventional filming style. The events of the two main characters' lives are seen almost exclusively from their own points of view with a voice-over providing their internal thoughts.[15] Scenes in the show are sometimes filmed using cameras strapped to the actors' heads, or attached to a hat,[16] to give the viewer a point of view identical to that of the protagonists.[17] The quality of footage captured with this method is sometimes poor and the technique was used less and less in later series.[18] When head-mounted cameras are not used, scenes are filmed with the camera being held over the actor's shoulder, or directly in front of their face; each scene is therefore shot multiple times from different angles.[16][19] Armstrong and Bain's choice of the style was influenced by the 2000 Channel 4 documentary Being Caprice about the model Caprice Bourret which featured a similar technique that had in turn been copied from the 1999 film Being John Malkovich.[20] Bain noted: \"So it's a third-hand steal, really. We thought it would be great for comedy, hearing someone else's thoughts. The voices give you a whole other dimension in terms of jokes.\"[15] The idea for using voice-overs came from a scene in the Woody Allen film Annie Hall in which the true feelings of the characters are conveyed by subtitles.[20] The POV technique separates Peep Show from other sitcoms and Mitchell claims that without it Peep Show would be similar to shows like Spaced and Men Behaving Badly.[15]
Two pilots were filmed for the show, which allowed Armstrong and Bain to firmly develop and finalise the style of the show. Armstrong said, \"On the run of doing those two pilots, we really created the show in the way that you couldn't if you hadn't tried it out.\" In the original pilot, Olivia Colman's character Sophie Chapman had a voice-over as well as Mitchell and Webb's characters Mark and Jeremy. The POV technique was also restricted solely to the character thinking at the time; it was later expanded so that the view could come from a third party.[15] Bain and Armstrong are the show's principal writers and Mitchell and Webb provide additional material.[21] Many story lines come from experiences in the writers' lives,[13] particularly Bain's.[20] For example, the series 5 episode \"Burgling\" sees Mark apprehend a burglar by sitting on him, something Bain once did in a video shop before he was told to get off as he was scaring the customers.[20] The writing for each series takes place seven to eight months before filming begins; once each episode is mapped out scene by scene they must be approved by the producer Andrew O'Connor and Channel 4. Rehearsals take two weeks and filming lasts for six to seven weeks.[16]
The series was met with critical acclaim,[28] and is considered to be a cult television show.[13][29] Early previews called it \"promising\"[30] and noted it had \"the sniff of a cult favourite\";[31] Jane Simon of The Daily Mirror claimed that Peep Show in years to come will \"be seen as the pinnacle of comedy it obviously is.\"[32] Peep Show won the titles \"The Best Returning British TV Sitcom 2007\" and \"Comedy of the Year 2008\" in The Comedy.co.uk Awards.[33][34]
Ricky Gervais has been cited as saying \"the last thing I got genuinely excited about on British TV was Peep Show, which I thought was the best sitcom since Father Ted\".[37] While presenting an award at the 2005 British Comedy Awards, Gervais called it \"the best show on television today\" and said it was a \"debacle\" that it did not win an award.[38]
In 2019, Peep Show was named the 13th greatest British sitcom of all time in a poll by Radio Times.[11] In the same year, The Guardian ranked it 9th on its list of the 100 best TV shows of the 21st century.[39] In 2021, the BBC ranked it 42nd on a list of the 100 greatest TV series of the 21st century.[40]
Despite the critical acclaim, Peep Show never garnered consistently high viewing figures.[28][42] At the beginning of 2006 there were rumours that the show would not be commissioned for a fourth series due to insufficient ratings of just over a million viewers.[43][44] However, due to the large DVD revenues of the previous series, a fourth series was commissioned.[45] The premiere of the fourth series showed no improvement on the ratings of the previous one, continuing to attract its core audience of 1.3 million (8% of viewers).[46] Despite the low viewing figures, the fifth series of the show was commissioned prior to the broadcast of series 4. Channel 4's decision to commission the show for a fifth series was said to be for a variety of reasons, including again the high DVD sales of the previous series (400,000 to date),[47] the continued high quality of the show itself,[48] and the rising profile of Mitchell and Webb due to the success of their BBC sketch show That Mitchell and Webb Look, their advertisements for Apple, and their feature film Magicians.[49] The fifth series showed no improvement with 1.1 million viewers.[50] Producer Andrew O'Connor cited the POV filming style as the reason for the low ratings: \"It made it feel original and fresh and got it commissioned for a second series, but it stopped it from being a breakout hit and stopped it finding a bigger audience.\"[42] Bain and Armstrong agreed that the POV style stopped it from becoming mainstream.[13]
A book entitled Peep Show: The Scripts and More, which featured the scripts of every episode from the first five series as well as an introduction from Mitchell and Webb, was released in 2008.[15] To celebrate the show, Channel 4 aired a Peep Show Night on Christmas Eve in 2010, which included the documentary Peep Show and Tell and the fan-selected episodes \"Wedding\" (s4 e6) and \"Shrooming\" (s3 e3).[62][63]
The first series began on 19 September 2003,[3] and the ninth and last series started on 11 November 2015.[4] The first series was directed by Jeremy Wooding, the second and third by Tristram Shapeero and the fourth to ninth by Becky Martin.[5] Channel 4 was planning to cancel the show after the third series because of poor viewing figures. However, high sales of DVDs encouraged Channel 4 to allow the series to continue, with the fifth series commissioned before the fourth was broadcast.[6] A sixth series was commissioned during the fifth series,[7] and the seventh series before the sixth was broadcast.[8]
At work, Mark asks two security guards to show him on the CCTV what his colleagues are doing. He sees Sophie and Jeff kissing. Mark is filmed drinking beer in a park in a television report about nuisance drinkers while he and Jez are spying on Sophie and Jeff. After seeing Mark drinking on TV, Johnson makes Mark go to an alcoholics support group, where Mark has to tell the group that he is an alcoholic, then give details of his drinking. After Johnson sees Mark drinking beer in a pub, he ends Mark's chances of attending the business trip in Aberdeen with Sophie. Back at the office, Mark goads Jeff into hitting him, thinking it will be recorded on CCTV and cause action to be taken against Jeff. Mark is disappointed to find out from security that it was not recorded.
Mark discovers that Jez's girlfriend Elena is in a long-term relationship, when he hears her talking on her mobile phone. Her partner has been away and is moving back in with Elena. Elena does not want to tell Jez; she pressures Mark to tell him. Jez is initially disappointed, but is relieved when Elena tells her that her partner is a woman. Mark's former boss, Johnson, offers him the chance to go into business with him. However, Mark's excitement is dampened when Alan begins to show signs of becoming mentally ill due to his fall from power at JLB. Mark gets a job as a waiter at Gail's Mexican restaurant, Banditos, only to discover that Johnson's claims were legitimate, before being amply dismissed for working at the restaurant. Jez and Elena struggle to keep their affair secret. Big Suze is disappointed with Johnson and comes to Jez and Mark's flat. Johnson comes to the flat, cons Mark out of more money and Jez arrives soon later. Johnson wrongly assumes that Big Suze is having sex with Jez and so punches him.
It took the astoundingly funny sitcom Peep Show nearly five seasons to reach commercial success in the U.K., and consequently an even longer time for the buzz to reach stateside. While eager anglophiles turned shows like Little Britain, The Office, and, to a lesser extent, Spaced into certifiable hits in the U.S., Peep Show has been lingering in the background, left to a handful of rabid fans trying to pester an entire nation into believing that this weird little British cult favorite is actually better than the rest.
