Peep Show (TV Series) Mark Makes a Friend (2003) User Reviews

The bad thing lol.

[Sleepin_Dragon · 9/10 · 17 January 2016]

Staying at a Hotel Mark is shunned by Sophie and ends up having to walk, when he's given a lift by business guru Alan Johnson, a smart, suave handsome guy, who turns up for dinner. Alan and Jez are not exactly impressed with each other. Alan's a definite go getter, doesn't mind who he steps on to get to the top, Mark starts hanging around with him, adopting many of his quirks, even growing a moustache. Mark even wonders whether he fancies Alan. Of his face the night before Jez has a vague memory of doing something bad with Super Hans, but cannot remember.

The scene of Mark trying to enjoy gay porn was so funny, totally cringe, but so funny. Some of that uncomfortable humour you just can't help but laugh at, even if you know you shouldn't.

Big fan of Patterson Joseph, he's such a great actor, cool that we would see more of him in the future.

Funny as!! 9/10

Bad thing

slightly uncomfortable yet still funny

When Mark meets business guru Alan Johnson, a man whom he holds in very high esteem. The two plan a merger and to move in together. This prompts a disgruntled Jeremy to snidely remark that Mark is gay. Mark being Mark, he starts to question his sexuality. Meanwhile Jeremy swears off drugs on account of a 'very bad thing' which he struggles to remember. Up till this episode, the cringe factor, which while always in the series, gets turned up quite a few notches. I know it was played for laughs (NOT homophobic humour in the least, I hasten to add but there was one scene in particular that I felt went a tad too far, if only for the frontal male nudity. However that said, I still found the episode funny, just not as much as the previous three that came before it.

My Grade: B-
