David Mitchell and Robert Webb on their last hurrah

Nine series in and it's the closing curtain for Channel 4's beloved sitcom, Peep Show. As the usual mayhem ensues, Gemma Dunn talks to the stars about their less than sentimental end, objecting to Twitter and their plans for the future.

One final excruciating hurrah for Peep Show

The sitcom that defined a generation and its protagonists - the self-styled 'Croydon Bullingdon' - begin their last run.

Here's what to expect from Peep Show

A lot's changed since their last outing of Peep Show, and fans are doubtless wondering about what to expect from Series 9 - so we've prepared a handy guide to prepare you for what is a brilliant first episode.

Thank you, Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong. Thank you for providing a necessary psychological safety valve in the form of Jeremy and Mark, for allowing us to realise that our inner monologues demand we be as manipulative and shallow as those of Croydon's best worst people.

You are hard pressed to find better exemplars of modern Blighty, ones ahead of their time, than Jeremy and Mark. Jeremy the entitled egotist, whose life was singularly social long before social networks stuffed humility into a sack with bricks and dropped it into a canal. Mark, for whom the status quo is the band but what really should be preserved, the dull nag of logic to prevent a third pint on Monday night. Mark, the plug switch to Jeremy's amp.

One part of this show's genius is, like The Simpsons, its array of secondary characters, from Big Suze to Johnson to Toni to Nancy and finally to Super Hans, south London's Loki. It's the reformed caner's stag do which reunites Jeremy and Mark for the first time in six months, their combined selfishness leading to a binge and beer waterboarding. Cherish these awful, inspired moments.

And so this is it. After 12 years can it really be the end for Jeremy and Mark? Are these two dysfunctional man-children actually going to sail off into the sunset after letting us hear their unedited internal monologues for one last series?
