I was looking for some older episodes and couldn't work out whether they've been removed or if I'm just looking in the wrong place.
Has anyone here managed to find the full archive on ITVX, or are only certain series available?
Every season there's at least one designer I don't really notice at first. Then they produce one room that suddenly makes me understand exactly what they're trying to do. Has anyone else had a contestant completely win them over with a single challenge?
Some of my favourite moments aren't the rows or shock evictions. It's the random conversations at 2am, people making tea, silly games in the garden or everyone laughing over something completely pointless. Those moments make the arguments feel much more real when they eventually happen.
Most sitcoms that run for nine series end up softening their main characters because the audience needs to keep rooting for them. Peep Show never did that. Mark gets slightly more self aware and Jeremy gets slightly more pathetic but neither of them actually grows in any meaningful way and the show never pretends they will. By the final series they are still fundamentally the same two people making the same kinds of terrible decisions for the same reasons they always did. That consistency is what makes rewatching early series feel so coherent rather than like a different show. Which series do you think is the strongest and do you think the finale actually gave them the ending they deserved?
When I first watched it I think I just accepted it as part of her character and moved on the same way the show did. Watching it back now it's obvious the show was doing something quite deliberate with it, showing how people around her kept almost seeing what was happening and then looking away, but it never actually gave her a proper ending around it. She just sort of drifted off to New York with Sid. Don't know if that's a failure of the writing or actually quite realistic to how these things go in real life. Does anyone think the show handled her storyline well overall or did it leave too much unresolved?
For all the drama, there have been a few situations on the show that genuinely made me rethink certain behaviours and relationship dynamics. Has the show ever changed your perspective on anything?
One thing I've always found funny is how certain behaviour gets completely different reactions depending on who's doing it. What's the best example you can think of?
Every now and then I'll watch something and think this could only exist on the BBC. What comes to mind?
For all the chaos and drama, I genuinely think the show has made me more aware of certain behaviours in relationships.
I appreciate the greater attention to our little furry friends in this series of Race Across the World ❤️
I heard the old Match of the Day theme the other day and it genuinely transported me straight back to sitting in the living room as a kid waiting for the football highlights.
