Peep Show could return when the characters are “old men” in their seventies.The actor, who played Jeremy in the Channel 4 sitcom, reaffirmed the idea in an interview with NME to mark the show’s 20th anniversary.“We’ve always said that it would be funny to go back and see them as old men,” Webb said. “Living in the same flat and having the same arguments… I think probably this side of, shall we say, 70?”His co-star David Mitchell, however, believes any future reunion should be a “totally separate thing”.“It’s nice that people still give a shit… I don’t want to tack anything onto the end of it,” Mitchell said.

Peep Show co-writer Sam Bain has revealed that they received offers to turn the hit Channel 4 sitcom into a play.Speaking exclusively to NME, Bain said that he and fellow co-writer Jesse Armstrong (Succession) had to reject the proposal because they couldn’t figure out how to make the show work on stage.Now celebrating its 20th anniversary, Peep Show documented the increasingly tragic lives of bank manager Mark Corrigan (played by David Mitchell) and his layabout flatmate/ occasional musician Jeremy Usborne (played by Robert Webb).The iconic comedy was shot through a POV perspective with the actors performing to camera, while the characters’ internal thoughts were added as narration. This format proved to be revolutionary, but it was one Bain and Armstrong knew they wouldn’t be able to replicate on stage.“There was an offer to do a live Peep Show, a stage show, after the last series, which we did carefully consider because it was coming from some proper people,” said Bain.

The Simpsons‘ iconic Steamed Hams scene has been mashed up with audio from Peep Show — you can watch the end product below.The amusing mash up was first shared by a Peep Show Facebook fan page called DobbyClub06 back in 2018, but was recently reposted on their Instagram account.In the memorable Steamed Hams scene from The Simpsons, Principle Skinner invites Superintendent Chalmers over to his house for a roasted ham. However, after noticing that the food is burnt, he sneaks out the window to buy some Krusty burgers, which Chalmers refers to as steamed hams.The mashup in question simply replaces the scene’s audio with memorable Peep Show quotes from main characters Mark (David Mitchell) and Jeremy (Robert Webb).From “Four naans, Jeremy?
