Extra Peeps: A Look at Peep Show's Bonus Material - Series 7

[@B0BBYFL4SH]

On New Year’s Eve also, you really are saucy Andrew.

[@thatdroid4924]

Dear god, he's, he's travelled. His peep show knowledge knows no bounds.

[@GodotOfficial]

All rational people agree it's a truth self-evident that it's impossible to have a good time on New Year's Eve. The pressure's too immense

[@thomasspence3107]

Andrew. My god...you're so... beautiful. Your faith in the Peep Show extras is touching.

[@chilldude30]

We need to petition channel 4 to release 'Peep Show Night'

[@leejones8582]

Is on youtube 5 parts is a interesting watch.

[@Jotari]

I wouldn't entirely discount the possibility that Mark and Jeremy went to lunch on the way to going to the hospital.

[@leejones8582]

Plus Mark has gone from wearing PJ's and a dressing gown to being fully clothed.

Never pictured his name as Simon weird lol

Great to see another one of these. I appreciate all the effort you put into them, particularly when your unearthing more obscure information.

I watched that Peep Show doc when it aired. Feels cool to have seen something people may not ever see again (in full quality).

[@ryanking3950]

Weird the didn't put the Peep Show Night doc on the DVD

[@jamesatkinsonja]

It's cool that a cult show like 'Peep Show' got a 'night' on TV [much like Red Dwarf in February 1998]. Around this time they started putting things like 'deleted scenes' on youtube rather than the DVD.

[@sayfilms9970]

I believe the hospital is the re use of the hospital set from the Bill which was used in other shows sometimes even after it stopped airing in 2010.

[@FluffleOW]

There's a copy of Peep Show and Tell on Box of Broadcasts which you can access if you are a student, it's better quality than the KZbin one - if you want me to send it over I'm happy to

[@jamesatkinsonja]

At least this Peep Show short doesn't have a forced meeting between Mark+Jez and a celebrity in a [probably wooden] cameo [I'm surprised the women collecting for charity wasn't someone famous], something which is very common with these charity shorts. [It baffles me that probably the last time David Jason + Nicholas Lyndhurst will play Del Boy and Rodney in a scripted capacity is them working with David Beckham!]. Though there has been some good charity episodes [A bonus 'I'm Alan Partridge' in 1999, Blackadder the Cavalier years in 1988]

Elena has disappeared without explanation. We don't know where she's gone, or what happened in regard to Quebec. Gail continues living at Apollo House & is in 1 ep each of s7 & s8. You'd think she'd be furious with Jez, but bizarrely appears to have forgotten about Elena & her affair with him.

Gail only really interacts with Mark in s7 & 8, and she's always antagonistic toward him, probably a grudge from him being best mates with Jez.

[@davidz2562]

@@kumataJDG She's like that towards Mark during s6 as well. Her having apparently forgotten about Elena & Jez makes no sense.

[@kumataJDG]

@@davidz2562 I don't see any reason to think she's forgotten about it. IIRC she doesn't have any scenes with Jez so it just doesn't get brought up. Admittedly that is a bit of a copout, but still.

[@davidz2562]

@@kumataJDG Gail has scenes with Jez in s6, but not 7 or 8. She has conversations with Mark in s6, 7 & 8, so you think she'd have brought up her grudge against Jez when expressing her dislike of Mark. Elena's whereabouts are a bigger issue, yet no-one mentions where she has gone or why.

How did a Channel 4 show not have the rights to the theme song of another Channel 4 show?? That's just baffling...

[@jamesatkinsonja]

Well given Peep show uses a licensed song, I guess they'd have had to pay Harvey Danger money to use it which a charity won't do [and contacting them would be time consuming]. The Daniel Pemberton music possibly wasn't used as many channel 4 shows are made by independent companies [Objective Media in Peep Show's case] but I agree it's odd [it's not like when movies are made of sitcoms by a new production company so they can't use the theme].

[@nathandc2669]

Wasn't this the first series in HD?

[@mat5473]

I hate the term "laugh track". It has to be the most widespread myth in TV that "laugh tracks" are really a thing. It's real audience laughter 90% of the time. Comedians like performing to live audiences because they get feedback on whether it's funny, and it gives them energy. This is why it's always been popular to record comedy shows before a live audience. But everyone just assumes it was added in later and goes "Aha, a LAUGH TRACK! Why are they TELLING me when to laugh? Leave it out!" which was never the point. And removing audience laughter in the edit would be impossible.

[@ericg1100]

Its almost always canned

[@mat5473]

@@ericg1100 Completely incorrect. It's almost always NOT canned. it's filmed in front of a live audience. Hence the pauses to wait for the laughter to die.

@@leejones8582 Dobby worsening & becoming more prominent was the writers' worst decision. Jez falling in love with her after knowing her for years with no attraction towards her makes no sense.

[@jamesatkinsonja]

@@leejones8582 Agreed. It's a fairly stock sitcom plot for someone to pretend to be something there not to attract a woman yet there is a reason there usually single episode plots as they are a bit 'one joke' affairs. I think Zahra would have been tollerable if it was a one episode thing but as usual with these later series it's stretched out so thin. Somone once said the character might have worked better as a love interest for Mark which I would be a bit more interesting [given he'd get annoyed at how thin her intellectual front was] but I still think that would be best for a single episode.

[@davidz2562]

Why is 'chance would be a fine thing' commonly quoted by PS fans? It's not specific to PS & had already been a common expression for many years before PS began.

@@davidz2562 Do you have to live quite so relentlessly in the real world?

[@davidz2562]

Why did the writers think it was a good idea to write out most of the entertaining characters & make already overused Dobby more prominent? Many characters should have been in PS for longer; she's the only one who's in it for too long. She's the only character other than Mark & Jez who is in all eps of s8. Her changing drastically when in her 30s makes no sense, nor does Jez falling in love with her after knowing her for years & having no attraction towards her. Mark & Dobby's relationship is already moribund & stretching it out makes no sense.

[@davidz2562]

I've seen Zahra described several times as pseudo-intellectual, but I see no evidence that she is. She doesn't pretend to be intellectual or say anything about qualifications or other achievements. She merely likes films & novels, but they include Amelie & Wuthering Heights, which are mainstream. She doesn't claim to be a devotee of Jacques Derrida.

[@kumataJDG]

She watches Amelie in French despite not speaking the language or the showing having subtitles, I don't know why anyone would do that unless they think it makes them more 'intellectual'

[@davidz2562]

Why would Mark pretend to be a football fan at all, let alone a fan of a team of a city he has no connection to?
