DVD Description

This 3 DVD box set encompasses the complete Series 1, 2 & 3 of Peep Show. This award-winning comedy, which features very close to the bone humour, follows the inner lives of two extremely ordinary weirdoes – the aimless waster and wannabe musician Jeremy (Robert Webb), and Mark (David Mitchell), a socially-awkward 50 year-old trapped in the body of a twenty-something.

Synopsis

Series 1: After being thrown out by his ex-girlfriend, Jeremy--an egotistical wannabe pop star--moves in with his socially-backward college friend Mark. While Jeremy lives in awe of his idiotic mate, Super Hans, and their beautiful but brittle neighbour Toni, Mark is in hot pursuit of the love of his life, co-worker Sophie.

Series 2: Mark finds an obstacle in the way of his quest for office crush Sophie’s love, in the form of his macho rival, Jeff. Meanwhile, Jeremy has fallen madly in love with a confused Californian Christian named Nancy, and embarks on a visa wedding which he hopes will be 'the happiest administrative procedure of their lives'.

Series 3: Jeremy tries to get over his disastrous marriage to Nancy by embarking on a series of ill-fated relationships with women, one of whom is Mark's sister. In the meantime, Mark has finally managed to start dating Sophie--only to discover she is being relocated to Bristol!

Customer Reviews

One of the best comedies in recent years.
I was given this by my wife as a gift. Even after reading all the rave reviews I wasn't sure if I would like it or not. (She later admitted that the main reason she bought it was because she wanted to watch it!!).

All I can say is WOW! This is the most consistently funny comedy I have seen for years. It is very cleverly written and the two main characters are both objectionable and likeable at the same time which is an extremely difficult trick to pull off. All the supporting characters are superb and very, very funny.

If you get this box set I am sure you will get through most of it in one or two sittings. It also demands repeat viewing as there are so many visual gags, as well as verbal ones which may pass you by the first time round.

Essential viewing.

Best Comedy on Channel 4
Need I say more, this box set is just each of the series DVDs in a outer cardboard box with no extras that are sometimes found in box sets. Must own for any fan of the show and the steady sales of the DVDs have been the cause of the return of the show for two more series.

The actual show is brilliant and consistent all the way through the series and the extras available offer a little insight to the programme and some even follow on to the programmes like the really funny Jez's video will on the series 1 DVD.

This show is by far the funniest comedy on channel 4, which used to pride itself on very good quality of comedy shows. Channel 4 have put a lot of rubbish comedy programmes on recently in a miss match mess of bad/weird comedy and reality TV programmes though Peep Show has and still is shining through the crap to hold out some hope for British comedy on the channel.

Hilarious
David Mitchell isn't just one of England's funniest comedians, he's one of the world's. America really doesn't have much in the way of comedy since Bill Hicks' tragic death, and where else is their comedy. Mitchell is hysterically funny, cunningly witty and the only reason to watch Would I Lie to You, not counting Angus.
Webb is also great, and this series really is a landmark in television. Too long has alternative meant embarassing moments and off-time dialogue with no comedy. This is great and only a 10 year old could disagree.
