David Mitchell: 'POV is a stupid way to film' - video

At a Guardian Live preview screening of the final series of Peep Show, David Mitchell and Robert Webb explain why the show's trademark point-of-view filming method was a terrible idea - something that became clear one afternoon while driving round a roundabout in Croydon...

Mitchell and Webb were joined by writers Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain to discuss the final series of Peep Show at a Guardian Members' event at the Greenwood Theatre, London, on 5 November 2015.

David Mitchell: Twitter is "killing the joy humour"

"We're going through a bad patch in terms of people being very judgemental about jokes," David Mitchell said. "I've been noticing on recent episodes of Have I Got News for You, things that are just pretty reasonable jokes with a bit of edge to them, you can hear the studio audience are going 'gasp!'"

Peep Show could return in 10 years

"I could imagine coming to David and Robert in 10 years and saying, 'This is sort of a different show, but what do you think might have happened to them?' - in fact, I'd really quite like to do that," Jesse Armstrong admitted.

We peep into the new Peep Show

Obviously, it is very, very funny. The first two episodes definitely retain the dismal Britishness and atmosphere of previous series.

Radio Times review

It's been more than three years since we last visited Croydon's gruesome twosome Jez (Robert Webb) and David Mitchell's Mark. The unscrupulous Jez was declaring himself to Mark's girlfriend Dobby in a field and Mark is still smarting pompously at the betrayal; so much so, in fact, that he has found a new flatmate, cruelly consigning Jez to a billet in druggie Super Hans's bathroom.

As we rejoin the action six months on from the regrettable field-gate, will Jerry (Tim Key) provide Mark with the requisite, er, fun with William Morris documentaries and reading nights in? It isn't long before Jez seeks to wheedle his way back home in what becomes a hilarious tug-of-love for Mark's affections (and spare room)....

Writers Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong clearly want to raise the bar in this final ever outing of the cult "point-of view" comedy, which started in 2003. The gags are rapier-sharp and, despite all the usual chaos, mayhem and silliness, there is some deft plotting at work here, too.

Matt King's Super Hans is also brought joyously to the fore and it's lovely to be reminded of what a fantastic (and integral) character he is in the peerless world of Peep.
