The Academy was delighted to welcome the writers and stars of BAFTA-winning comedy Peep Show.

On Tuesday 22 April we screened the first episode of the fifth series in BAFTA-winning comedy Peep Show. Writers Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain, and actors Robert Webb and David Mitchell, then took to the stage to answer questions from a packed audience.

Chaired by Andrew Newman, Head of Entertainment and Comedy at Channel 4, the Q&A provoked lively debate amongst the Peep Show team. They talked about their experience of working on the programme and the difficulties of writing a new series.

Series four left Mark having just gone through with a disastrous marriage ceremony to Sophie (Olivia Coleman), after all but jilting her at the altar. Mark now has the daily horror of facing his estranged wife at work. Meanwhile Jeremy has a rude awakening when the money he’s been subsisting on finally runs out and he’s forced to try and find a new source of income.

Mark (David Mitchell) is the conventional one seething with inner rages and desires. Jeremy (Robert Webb), the loose cannon full of expressed rages and desires, but seething with even more rage on the inside.
