‘The scripts were the funniest things I’d ever read’: the stars of Peep Show look back, 20 years later

I thought: “That’s fucking weird and brilliant and odd. It would be funny if it wasn’t Caprice but some pathetic loan manager from Croydon.” Around this time, I did my first 10-day silent meditation retreat and I was bombarded by the insanity of my own thoughts. I took a gamble that everyone had similar stupid thoughts.The big hook of the show is the gap between what Mark and Jeremy present to the world and what they’re really thinking. That’s the genius of it.

I very clearly remember Andrew ringing to give me the news. This was a big career moment. I was going to be co-starring in a sitcom on proper television. He started by saying, “Are you sitting down?”, and I missed the cue. I answered the question literally – “Well, I’m sort of standing by the sofa.”We knew that with David and Robert, and this format, which was good for our tone – odd and introspective, almost novelistic – we had a shot at doing something good.
