List of Peep Show episodes

Written by Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain,[1] the series explores the lives of Mark Corrigan (Mitchell) and Jeremy "Jez" Usbourne (Webb).

[1] At the beginning of the series, Mark is attracted to his colleague Sophie (Olivia Colman), and Jez tries to break through into the music business.

Jez is a lazy, unemployed slacker and aspiring musician who lives in Mark's high-rise flat and leeches off him after breaking up with Big Suze and leaving her "love shack", where the couple cohabited for 18 months.

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.

Mark goes to the university, and, pretending to be a mature student, is welcomed into April's Ancient History tutorial that is led by Professor MacLeish (Peter Capaldi).

Jez misses out on the frontman spot when he is delayed by being caught by a shop's manager, Mr Rashid, whilst trying to shoplift a chocolate bar.

Mark buys a folding knife, which Sophie is horrified to find he is carrying whilst on their second date.

Mark and Jez's Canadian friend from university, Merry, (Meredith MacNeill) arrives at their flat and stays the night.

Mark is due to attend a business trip in Frankfurt, so Jez invites Suze to a magic mushroom party at the flat.

Jez juggles pretending to be in love with Sarah whilst simultaneously attempting to worm his way back into the affections of Suze, who has told him that she has split up with Stu.

He finds out it is a young white woman, Carla, who is being tried for credit card fraud and initially decides to vote guilty.

While the court case is ongoing Jez and Carla meet in a café and he is attracted to her, which makes him decide to vote not guilty.

Jez is angry with Mark when he realises that he was only brought along as company for Sophie's annoying, needy, younger brother Jamie, who has no friends.

Mark tries to avoid the wedding by proposing to a barista, then trying to get run over then insulting the driver in a failed attempt to provoke him into beating him up.

Soon after, Jez receives a text telling him that Super Hans is giving Nancy a lift from the Heathrow Hilton on a friend's moped instead.

Penny refuses to let Mark in, telling him that it is bad luck for the groom to see the bride on the wedding day prior to the service and that a drunken snog is insignificant.

Whilst being driven to the reception, Sophie becomes even more distraught and flees the car telling Mark he's "horrible" and that she wants an annulment.

After listening to the CDs, Jez and Hans decide to form a band with the talented but naïve Barney, so that they can get him to play the music while they make all the money.

The band get a gig at a venue called The Fuck Bunker, but they lose their concentration when Barney locks himself in the toilet after fellating Hans while in a k-hole.

Mark uses the promotion he was given at the end of series 5 to buy a new sofa and get Jez a job at JLB Credit's call centre.

It turns out that the alarm was a hoax by Johnson to evacuate the building and tell them that everyone at JLB Credit's London branch is being made redundant.

Mark decides to start a campaign group to get everyone's job back, so that he can have some money to pay for the sofa and keep seeing Dobby.

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 enrols on an 18-month MBA evening course, where he meets Stephanie (Josephine Butler), an attractive older woman whose husband left her.

Mark, in an attempt to deal with a damp patch on his bedroom wall to hasten the asthmatic Dobby to move in, launches a campaign to be elected chairman of the freehold committee of Apollo House.

Jez, desperate to avoid living with Hans, sparks up an old relationship with Mark's sister Sarah, and moves in with her and her five-year-old son, Joshy.

He tries to get information about the position from him whilst playing five-a-side football in Hackney, but makes a fool of himself due to his lack of knowledge of and ability at the sport.

He views the webcams on a laptop, along with Dobby, Gregory and Hans who all see Jez have sex with Joe in Mark's bedroom.

Mark tracks down April (whom he had unsuccessfully tried to seduce by returning to his alma mater, Dartmouth University, and pretending to be a History student years earlier, in series 2, episode 4), at a book signing.

Jez tags along with Mark when he takes his son Ian for playtime at a soft play centre in Thornton Heath called the Kid Kave.
