Last night’s third instalment began with the El Dude Brothers coming to terms with Jeremy and Joe’s relationship, and unravelled into the weirdest, most disgusting and best episode of Peep Show in years.
It started when they conspired to evict Jerry from Apollo House by trapping him in a sleeping bag, waterboarding him with tepid lager and bunging him into a lift, and gloriously intensified when Mark used his webcam to inadvertently watch Jeremy make love to Joe, the boyfriend of Megan, who he’s life-coaching. But after the first episode introduced – and then quickly got rid of – Mark’s new flatmate Jerry, the focus has shifted back to the nitty gritty of Mark and Jez’s relationship.

Warning, this blog discusses the third episode of the ninth series of Peep Show in detail.
