The new series of The Trip, with Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan starts on Sky tonight.:thumsup2

I'm going to have to give this another go, watched the first series and didn't get the hype, thought it was meh, far too many raving about it for this to be accurate so I'll give it a second chance

Started watching Peep Show for the first time on Netflix. Had always meant to get round to watching it but never did. Glad I've waited to binge. Started a week and a half ago and I'm 5 episodes from the end. It's a good 25 min watch but then you'll get hit with the odd episode that makes the tears almost stream. Season 6 was absolutely excellent throughout.

Watched the whole series with a raging hangover yesterday.

Episode 2 in the Michelin starred restaurant. I nearly fucking soiled myself laughing.

 

The second episode is absolutely brilliant from start to finish.

Peep Show is fantastic to binge watch.  So many great individual moments - posting a pizza slice by slice through a door, "Swan and Peado", the dead dog, his racist colleague etc.

My personal favourite scene (especially as a learner) was Mark trying to drive a car - 

"Mark: "I can't find the biting point! I've lost the biting point!!!"

Jeremy: "Why are you indicating? Don't indicate! Just fucking go!"

Mark: "I need to alert other road users to my intentions!"

Was about to comment on Super Hans. So funny without any over the top intention. The scene where he's outside his flat at new year's eve shaken with going on inside was hilarious. Jeremy going in and coming out scarred was the icing on the cake. To look at, Dobby isn't particularly good looking but the more I watched her the more pumpable I found her.

Peep Show is my favourite British sitcom. There is a slight drop-off in quality by around the beginning of Series 8, but I feel that is more to do with the strength of earlier episodes than anything else; even then, it is still very watchable. One thing it does well throughout is the scattered introductions of varied, new characters; Elena and Gail help to make Series 6 such as success and ensure that the show does not become overly repetitive as it progresses or too reliant on old plots and relationships, similarly Zahra and Ben perform that role in Series 7. My favourite episode is either Jeremy Makes It, when Mark befriends racist Daryl and Jeremy and Hans 'threaten' Gog with a baseball bat, or Sophie's Parents, when Ian burns down the barn, Jeremy has sex with Sophie's mum and Mark rips the bird's head off.
