Peep Show: Mark Makes a Friend (2003)
Season 1, Episode 4
6/10
slightly uncomfortable yet still funny
26 March 2007
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-
