The basic idea of peep show is that it is entirely filmed from a 1st person point of view. This switches between the 2 main characters, and the viewer also gets to hear what the person is thinking.

Both the characters are young (ish) male flatmates. One an uptight business man, the other a slacker musician - let the fun begin!

The whole idea of hearing their thoughts as they interact works well as both are very confused individuals - however it can get a little tiresome as you can start to predict their reactions...the thing that keeps it alive is the fast changing storyline.

Personally I think this is the best thing about the show... the stories seem to be so turbulant that nothing is steady other than the characters - who are very confused!!!

The cast, especially the support are great and I recommend this to all fans of decent British humour.

Good as far as it goes, but you could add quite a lot to this review. Also are there any extras on the discs?

This is a brilliant series, and there's so much more you could have said about it - a bit disappointing, really. Paul

Considering you're reviewing all 3 series of the show, you don't really say a lot here. It's a great programme, but do you actually even own this box set? It just sounds like you've watched a couple of episodes and then decided to write a 'review' of this. Needs a lot more adding to it if you're to be convincing in your ownership of this boxset. Rich
