Peep Show - series 9, episode 1 review

This opening episode is basically a reset button to put the characters back where they need to be, but it's written with the elegance that cements Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain's legacy. Their script nips between big set pieces with savvy dialogue that fizzes with gags and wry asides, while making viewers cringe at the appallingly self-serving antics of the anti-heroes that we now know so well.

Radio Times review

Some of the best Peep Show moments are when the gang go on the road and this trip to East Anglia for Super Hans's wedding is no exception. Dobby (Isy Suttie) has finally come back from New York - but with a smug American boyfriend in tow, to the intense irritation of Mark (David Mitchell).

Jez (Robert Webb) has to reflect on a rather surprising personal discovery that isn't a secret for very long, thanks to the hidden cameras Mark has secreted inside the flat (well, it is called Peep Show after all). Who will be Hans's best man? Will he manage to get through his big day without hitting anyone? And what is his real name? All is revealed in another painfully funny riot of a ride.

Jesse Armstrong 'still terrified' by writing challenge

It was "a mixture of luck and fear" that aided the success of Channel 4 sitcom Peep Show, co-creator and co-writer of the series Jesse Armstrong told the programme.

"Fear basically governs my life," Mr Armstrong said, on the subject of ending the programme, and is "still terrified" that the last lines "won't be funny enough".

The sitcom, which begins its ninth and final series on November 11, was first shown in 2003 and has since won Baftas and been lauded as the best sitcom of the decade by GQ Magazine.
