Steve Bennett, Chortle, 26th November 2012Peep Show's amusing start to series eight
As always, the genius of Peep Show is the format itself where we see everything through either Mark or Jeremy's eyes and get to hear their private thoughts. No other show can even copy it without there being legal implications, one assumes, so it's pretty unique in the comedy world.
