Video: Is Peep Show popular in the States?

Jez and Mark ... by the people who know them best

As they return for a seventh series, will fatherhood make men of the El Dude brothers? Who better to ask than writers Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong and stars David Mitchell and Robert Webb?

Jimmy Carr interview: stand-up comedy, 10 O'Clock Live

"I saw Charlie Brooker and David Mitchell the other night. We all independently said that it's going to be fine, I've got you two there! We've all done nothing, but are relying on the others."

Simon Brew, Den Of Geek, 11th November 2010

You'd be a foolhardy parent to leave your house unguarded for the weekend if your son is one of The Inbetweeners. But Will's mum is a flighty type, who regards her son as a sort of teenage David Mitchell, who's more likely to research science projects than have a good time. Unfortunately for her, the same cannot be said for Will's mates Jay, Simon and Neil. So the minute she leaves for a weekend away with an old school friend, the boys are straight round to Will's for a weekend of decadent partying.

David Crawford, Radio Times, 11th October 2010

Very funny (and rather rude) pretend radio show, real extracts from actual broadcasts mashed up into fantasy fictional contexts (Jeremy Paxman running amok and being chased by the police, for example). Jenni Murray, Richard Bacon and John Humphrys appear as themselves but others (David Mitchell, Evan Davies, Steve Wright) are edited into parodies of themselves. Excellent cast, tight production, sharp scripts and a glorious capacity to make telling fun of radio's daily excesses. The Robert Peston competition is a wow. Alice Arnold presents, perfectly.

Gillian Reynolds, The Telegraph, 7th September 2010

What clever little sausages that Jon Holmes and his cutting crew are. Back for a third series of the show that cuts and re-edits radio and TV to great satirical effect, they turn their scatter guns on a range of targets, from David Mitchell and his takeover of all broadcasting to 24-hour rolling news coverage of a Jeremy Paxman on the rampage, randomly firing questions at passers-by. Joining in the joke and enjoying having the mickey taken out of them are John Humphrys, Jenni Murray and Richard Bacon. It's like Feedback, but with more blood and guts!
