Peep Show DVD

Advantages: Funny, good to have seen as it's hardly on tv
Disadvantages: Short series, not many extras, only for 18's

...references and drug use Peep Show may sound like a dirty title, but then again how would you describe the way they film this. It is unique in the way that they film the show as if you were looking through the main characters eyes and hearing their thoughts (no mater how stupid or cruel they may be), which for a sitcom itself is a break from the norm of cardboard sets filmed from one angle, that of the audience. The plot is basically based around ...
...good things said about The Peep show even though it features common actors from both shows. This may be because the BBC advertised those shows to death where as Channel 4 seem to have the problem of sticking some of the better shows on at what ever time they feel like usually between 11pm and 2am, e.g. Futurama, King of the Hill, Family Guy before they moved it to BBC (which doesn't seemed to have solved the problem). The Peep Show is an adult comedy, ... Read review

Advantages: funny, mindless comedy
Disadvantages: ummmmm...

...every once in a while!! Peep show is the fantastic series, from channel 4, basically about two blokes living together and their day to day lives, which basically involves taking the p*ss out of each other, and just doing really stupid things, and being totally socially dysfunctional! Like i said it's mindless comedy, but it is hillarious, especially as the viewer is taken through every emotion and thought of the two characters, Jez, the pop star ...
...worker, who quite frankly seems to be a bit of a nerd!! It's not an obvious comedy, but once you get it, it works!!! ***THE CAST*** - Jeremy or Jez is played by Robert Webb (don't know what it is and call me mad if you wish, but there is something very mmmmm about him!!!) - Mark is played by the fantastic David Mitchell, He plays Mark down to a t, maybe because he does look so nerdy, and quite frankly wierd!! - Love of Marks life, sophie - Olivia ...

Advantages: Original Comedy using relative unknowns
Disadvantages: No-body knew about it, not many extra's

...then you will surely like Peep Show just as much. It is definitely worth mentioning the characters themselves briefly. Mark the star of the show, is unfailingly sensible, but painfully tragic, he is a compulsive loser with no luck in love, all the while trying to win the affections of his office infatuation ‘Soph’ whilst coping with his unreliable, free loading, wanna-be pop-star flatmate Jeremy (‘Jez’). Mark is undoubtedly heading towards a mid-life ...
...a sex-crazed, lazy man with big ideas, but no motivation to put them into reality. Despite this Jeremy is not a bad person, and as a viewer you don’t hate him, and certainly not as much as you feel sorry for Mark! The interplay between the actors is very good, and for two relative unknown actors (Jeremy is played by Robert Webb - from the Smoking Room) this is a very good effort, they have undoubtedly benefited from a very good basic idea, backed ...

Advantages: Original ideas, Funny moments
Disadvantages: Only 6 episodes long

"Peep Show" is a comedy show with a unique twist: the use of the first person point of view, in which we see what's happening from the main characters' eyes. We also hear their inner thoughts that are otherwise left unexpressed. Office worker Mark (David Mitchell) and wannabe popstar Jeremy (Robert Webb) are flatmates. With totally differing views of the world, they are essentially an 'odd couple'. Mark has a bleak and cynical take on life, while ...
...music industry with his mate crack cocaine addicted mate 'Super Hans' (or is it 'Super Hands'? I'm still not sure). Despite this, they seem to have developed a reliance upon one-another. Mark is socially inept and as such his fallible attempts at wooing his co-worker Sophie (Olivia Colman) are laughable. Jez is slightly better in social situations, but when we're inside his mind we realise he's bluffing his way bye. Despite being sensible and cautious ... Read review

Advantages: Original and innovative comedy, hilarious
Disadvantages: Not many extra's available on DVD

Peep Show is one of the most original and entertaining comedies of the last couple of years. Even if it is still relatively unknown, a third series is already being filmed after the more high profile success of the second series on channel 4. Still most people haven't really heard much about Peep Show, which is a real shame. The 6 episodes follow the lives of the 2 main characters - Jeremy, the untalented wannabe musician and Mark, an equally sad ...
...employee named Sophie. You follow Mark around his daily life and on-goings at his company's offices, watching him babble in front of the love of his life, and watching him become irate when he sees his colleague Jeff succeeding with her when he clearly isn't. Whilst this goes on you get to see Jeremy with his band mate 'Super-Hans', his drugged up mate, and get to see them attempt to ignite their music careers. And fail. A lot of the time you just ...

Advantages: Great British Comedy, "Super Hans"!,
Disadvantages: Series only 6 episodes, best to purchase the Box Set involving the three released series

...couple of hours. This is a shame considering the success of the series and as so much happens between episodes, you need to stay aware. It is also adviced that you watch the previous two series as this will help you to understand the characters etc. This DVD is a good laugh however if it is the first Peep Show DVD you plan on buying, then I suggest you buy the Series 1 - 3 Box Set instead. In conclusion a great comedy with an excellent cast. A must see tv show!... Read review

Advantages: The price and the quality of the comedy
Disadvantages: Cant stop laughing

...Fancy a laugh and a night in ? well this will be perfect for you, this has got to be the funniest and most action packed dvd from peep show staring mitchell and web as mark corrigan and jeremy osborne aka jez. In this hilarious comedy of the life's of these two best friends, trying so survive in the 21st century. This dvd follows the two friends, on their events leading up to mark corrigan's big wedding day, does he marry or does he not? you will have to watch it to find out! This dvd could be a family dvd if it cut out the minor language and sexual references, this is a shame because im sure children will find it just as funny. This dvd has four episodes on it which are each 30mins long and some extra behind the scene videos, and how the film was made. This dvd can be found from most dvd shops for around £10 and it is defiantly... Read review
