Peep Show Premiered on Channel 4 on September 19, 2003

About the Show:

The El Dude Brothers is what they refer to themselves as. Best friends and roommates, Mark and Jeremy (also known as Jez) are two of the most different people you'd ever meet.

Mark is a logical person who has a career in a credit company; has his sights set on the girl of his dreams, Sophie; and is completely uncomfortable with himself.

Jeremy on the other hand, is more than comfortable with himself, to the point of narcissism; he falls 'in love' so often, one questions his understanding of the word or his capacity of genuine emotions; and finally, his job is avoiding work an aspiring musician.

Over the series you see their antics as they try to cope with the world around them as well as each other.

Episode 6: Funeral (Oct/24/2003)
The season finale sees Mark finally taking some action with Sophie, but will it pay off? Jeremy is facing not only the passing of a relative, but also his own forthcoming death, whenever that may be. In preparation, he is searching for some guidance or meaning in life.
