Excellent end to an excellent series

I've thoroughly enjoyed Series 4 of Peep Show but the final episode was really something! Mark's wedding day has finally arrived and he still hasn't broken up with Sophie, his wife to be. Jeremy confesses that he kissed Sophie and Mark thinks it would be the way to break up with her. But unsurprisingly, it doesn't work out. Will Mark finally go through with the wedding or not? A fantastic end to a brilliant series. David Mitchell and Robert Webb are great actors but I think they really gave it their all in this episode. And credit needs to be given out to Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong for coming up with a great finale to Series 4.

Season 4: Short, punchy and very funny

This season of Peep Show sees Mark mostly struggling with the idea that he will now marry Sophie but yet unable to confront that fact and deal with it. This leads to a season which is memorable for how awkwardly funny it is throughout, whether it is a wedding, a BBQ on a barge, a man hiding in a wardrobe watching a cleaner, it is all very well observed comedy which is driven from the inside of the characters. It is an effective tool, the internal narration, and it continues here because the characters are well formed and act in line with what we expect them to do – Jeremy being quite selfish while Mark is constantly painfully embarrassed and annoyed by the intrusion of life into that private shame.

As before the season is only 6 episodes long, with the episodes not even reaching 30 minutes in length but more than ever here it felt very short. Each episode is very strong; sticking to the thread of the season but at the same time being self-contained in the most part. They are also all very funny indeed and very tightly scripted so that there is not really a weak aspect to the season – make it flow well and feel too short. The cast are strong as ever. Mitchell remains my favorite but Webb is also very good and they are seamless in their relationship. Colman is on the edge of the joke but is always welcome, while support is good from King, Joseph, Winkleman, Blanchard and others.

It is consistent, awkward and very funny throughout the short season. A very strong season of this show which does what it does very well.

Trivia
Both the series 2 finale (where Jez gets married) and the series 4 finale (where Mark gets married) have the same title, "Wedding."

Goofs
Before the scene where they stop in a car park so Mark can clean his hat and shoes, an establishing shot of a street with a market is shown. This is Wentworth Street in the East End of London, which is a different area to where the scenes were actually filmed, in Harlesden in North West London.

Quotes
Mark Corrigan: If you really can't hold it in, then you'll just have to... piss yourself.
Jeremy Usborne: You're telling me to piss myself?
Mark Corrigan: Yes, if you've got to go, piss yourself.
Jeremy Usborne: Is this what it's come to?
Mark Corrigan: Yes, and do it quietly.
Jeremy Usborne: Great. And what shall I do after I've pissed myself? Fuck myself? Eat myself? You're such a...
[a wet patch starts growing on the crotch of Jeremy's trousers]
Mark Corrigan: Are you doing it already?
Jeremy Usborne: Yes, I'm doing it already! I'm so pathetic that as soon as you ordered me to piss myself, I started the procedure. This is what you've done, you've ground down my sense of self worth over the years, I hope you're proud!
Mark Corrigan: When are you going to stop?
Jeremy Usborne: Not for a bit.
