Peep Show - Season 8

I agree that Dobbie is too nice and normal to work as a main character. She only serves to make Mark that bit more unlikeable. You could root for him when things went to **** with Sophie because she was a bit of a cow but Dobbie should have stayed unattainable.

But I agree, Big Suze was great. Her overenthusiasm when they tied up the burglar was one of the funniest non Mark annd Jez monment in Peep Show.

Burn him with cigarettes!

I love when Mark accuses her of destroying the toilet at the party

"Mark, you're drunk and talking nothing but balderdash and poppycock!"

Wha :pac:

I watched SE4 EP01 last night that i had recorded, The one where Mark and Jez go to Sophie's parents house for the weekend - very funny! "would you like some jam jeremy" ...."em ok" comedy gold that would eposide. Buring Dan's barn too :pac:

I noticed the bird Mark and Dobbie were drinking with the other night in the bar was from the In-Betweeners (when the lads go to simons g/f's sisters place with the "college lads" drinking in the flat, the moany sister that kicked them out)

I haven't really liked this series so far but hopefully it can improve, although I doubt that they'll ever reach the comedy heights of "the bad thing" or eating "Mummy" the dog.

I also agree about Dobby, she is just too normal and down to earth for the show and not so attractive that I miss her character when not on screen. I personally liked the Russian girl Elena from Series 6. I could stare into her big blue eyes (and down her top) all day long

Nice, but not a patch on Nancy. Apart from her the best of the series surely must be Sally, the old school friend Mark (nearly) rides following the school reunion. Milf and a half!

Having said about Elena, one of the best scenes must be Jez covering for himself to her girlfriend by claiming to have drank a half bottle of rum on the short walk back from the offy

Last night I fell asleep on the sofa not long after the Champions League match. Whilst asleep I had some sort of dream. I can't remember the ins and outs of it, but when I woke up I saw that The Peep Show was on TV. I then realised that a lot of the things that the characters were talking about had happened in my dream, so I must have sort of been listening the the show whilst I was asleep.

A few years back I bought a Suzuki SV650 motorbike and called it Big Suze (Suzuki, get it?) after her. Thought she was a great character, completely off-the-wall posh and so inappropriate for Jez to be dating, but it all added to the show.

Saw her in Two and a Half Men then and lost a lot of respect, but I still call the bike Big Suze.

Surely the whole point of Dobby is that she is the sort of woman who Mark would have a chance of going out with, not those with model type looks like Nancy and Elena, having said all that I never tire of an episode with Big Suze in it.

starviewadams · 07-12-2012 05:12AM

Big Suze pops up in Harry and Paul now and again.Probably my favourite Peep Show lady ever.The episode where Mark falls in love with her when she's staying in his room is brilliant.

''I'll touch her hair. Just as much hair touching as I like.''

That and she's also a norm, as Mark would call it, although Mark would not consider her one. She's just quite a nice person all round which is rare on peep show where most characters have some kind of huge personality flaw that they display without reserve or cannot hide as the case may be. The ensuing contrast is makes for a lot of hilarity, my personal favourite being the Christmas Day episode.

Mark missed his chance when he didn't get the number of the girl in the Coffee Shop who was reading Jenkins on Churchill on his Wedding Day

She was definitely the one.

Loads of Super Hans = Amazing Peep Show

Technocentral · 09-12-2012 11:48PM

Poorest episode so far, but roll on next week, sure to improve.

Footoo · 09-12-2012 11:49PM

That was brilliant. Super Hans at his best. "Are you a secret yellow"

Best one of the series so far. While being hilarious, had some good stuff about Dobby having doubts about Mark.

Skid · 10-12-2012 12:55AM

"Listen up, Hall and Oates. You're going for a little walk, and you may be some time".

Back on form tonight, I thought. Some great lines.

I liked Mark's only knowing two bands which I suspect was a nod to David Mitchell's real life lack of interest in Music

I bought an album last week. "Big deal!" you're thinking until I tell you it's the first one I've bought for 20 years and only the second in my life. The other was But Seriously by Phil Collins. If you've listened to it you might understand why I didn't go music crazy.

Mark: As Napolean once said (hmm, what's a goodie), laws that are consistent in theory prove chaotic in practise

Super Hans: **** YEAH!

seligehgit · 10-12-2012 11:13AM

Back to form last night,yip loved Super Hans.Script was brill,"Pretty sure Rommel never held hands"!!!:D

briany · 10-12-2012 12:31PM

Classic Peep Show last night. The scenario was just too good to miss with. Mark attempting to hang out with 'fun young people' is always hilarious with his dour cynicism and stuffy middle age ways. 'The fun stops here!'.

Each episode in the series so far has been fantastic IMO. 6 & 7 were good but 8 has been a massive improvement. Honestly don't think it's been this good since series 4.

Morzadec · 10-12-2012 02:27PM

Top notch episode. Great to see Peep Show back to its best!

MrJoeSoap · 10-12-2012 05:37PM

Great episode, best of the series so far in my opinion. Superhans back on the drugs, with weaponry, how could it not be?

"SUPERHANNNNNNNNNNNNNSSSSSSS"

Also loved some of Jeremy's lines: "I've done a lot of bad **** but falling in love with her is the worst, or at least the most recent bad thing I've ever done."

Welsh Megaman · 10-12-2012 05:42PM

One thing troubled me about last night's episode...no eye/face protection whilst playing paintball!!

The Byker Grove nightmares return!

The famous first person camera viewpoint would be a bit obscured through the goggles.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 10-12-2012 05:44PM

well yer man did say there were "no men" so presumably no one to enforce health and safety guidelines

free market paintball

Ha! "Superhans - I cannae see, man"

seligehgit · 10-12-2012 10:14PM

What is the chance's Jeremy will do the dirt on Mark with Dobby and really make it the most recent worst bad thing he;s ever done!:D

Bobby42 · 10-12-2012 10:35PM

If he does, he'll do the whole "If I pretend it didn't happen then it didn't really happen".

Duggys Housemate · 10-12-2012 11:04PM

Jesus that hat game made me squirm. A bit of me is Mark.

blow69 · 11-12-2012 06:05PM

For a while, when Mark and Super Hans were in the bunker, I thought Super Hans would skin up and convince Mark to have some.

I think it would have been great to see the two of them stoned and just see where the script would have gone. Oh well, Super Hans did speed instead
