BBC Holidaze: Peep Show!

This year had been the 40th anniversary of Blackadder and the 25th year anniversary of The Royle Family and now it turns out it's also the 20th anniversary of the pantheonic Peep Show:

Audiences got to know Mark and Jeremy intimately through the series’s use of internal monologues, adding another layer of jokes to dense scripts. Peep Show was shunted around Channel 4’s Friday night schedule and nearly cancelled several times. Fortunately, it survived for 54 episodes – long enough to become a cultural phenomenon, launching the careers of the two talented double acts at its heart – writers Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong, plus actors David Mitchell and Robert Webb.

Bain We scripted it so you would only hear someone’s thoughts when you were in their point of view. The first cuts were like that. That didn’t work, and then we got a new editor – the brilliant Lucien Clayton – who was like, “You need to see someone’s face when they’re thinking something funny”. He helped create the grammar of the show through that one massive innovation.

All 3 of these shows are Xmastime superslice of superslices; Peep Show in particular was a show seemingly made just for me as even tho I'd never seen a second of it until 2015, here's what I was saying about it in 2010:

I have never watched this show, but when I read "I like to think of it as being like a more warped version of Seinfeld, if the show was presented from inside George Costanza’s brain." you know for damn sure that I run to put in in my "queue."

AND it gave the world Olivia Colman!!! Viva la PEEP SHOW!
