It's Friday, it's 10pm, it's Peep Show. Another effortless visit to the blackly comic lives of Mark and Jez, who this week are planning a party - mainly so Mark can get it on with Dobby again. There are so many effortless one-liners in any episode of Peep Show, it's practically obscene.

The mighty Paterson Joseph returns as Peep Show carries on delivering the laughs...

Peep Show Episode 6.4 Review

Another marvelously twisted comedy of embarrassment this week, as Mark overheard Jez's new girlfriend Elena talking to her long-term lover... and isn't pleased when it becomes clear Elena wants him to break the news to Jez...

Peep Show: season six, episode four

The bad news is Elena is starting to irritate; the good news is the simmering Mark-Johnson sexual tension is back.

As the pendulum swings back in Jeremy's favour (he's in a happy relationship with Elena the sexy drug dealer) Mark is delighted to find out that she may not be all she first seemed. But will he shatter Jez's illusions? Mark also considers Johnson's offer of a business partnership. The same Johnson who bailed on JLB Credit faster than Mark could say, "There goes the last Beemer out of Saigon."

This sixth series of the sitcom about two hapless flatmates (played by David Mitchell and Robert Webb) continues to be consistently funny so it's good news for fans that a seventh has been commissioned. Tonight, Mark (Mitchell) finds out that Jeremy's (Webb) new Russian girlfriend Elena has a secret but can't bear to break his friend's happiness by spilling the beans. Meanwhile Johnson (Paterson Joseph) gives Mark more food for thought by asking him to go into business.

How could this series of Peep Show possibly get any better?

It's series six, but Peep Show remains as fresh and wonderful as ever. It's one of those rare shows where writing and casting work together in tuneful harmony and the results are never then less than superb.

Peep Show series 6 episode 3 review

Familiar territory brings rich rewards as Peep Show's sixth series steps up a gear...

Compare that finely tuned/chewed gag, or Madge's big entrance, to a couple of lines in Peep Show. "Oh my God, there's a baby in there, about the size of a croissant," thinks Mark, looking at Sophie's bump in a cafe. "A terrifying, life-altering crosissant-baby." Croissant-babies! There's nothing obvious about them.

And what about Dobby's stoic remark on finding out that Mark has been downloading porn on her boss's laptop. "You're a man. Men like looking at troubling pictures of heroin addicts showing their genitals for money. It is disgusting. But so is the textile industry." See? Funny, but also weirdly wise. And yet only about a quarter of the number of people who tune in to (chew in to?) Benidorm watch Peep Show. Chumps. It's enough to make a snob out of you. By you, I mean me, of course.
