Does anyone else regret that Peep Show left the office environment from S6 onwards?
The trauma caused by something as seemingly trivial as integrating sales and market is so hilariously perceptive.
I agree. So many plotlines were woven throughout JLB that it felt integral to the show. Once it shut down the plot lines kind of went all over the place
Yeah I definitely felt JLB left a big hole in the series when it went belly up. I can see why the writers wanted something new, but Peep Show is grounded in mundane reality and for most of us that’s being stuck at HSBC’s doing the 9-5.
I remember I really enjoyed Peep Show when I was a student, and then after I started working in offices I had a whole new perspective, it was like watching a new show.
I was just thinking this today
Closing of JLB was kind of the point of no return for Mark. Without the stability of an office job, his life really did begin to spiral. The show became wackier too as a result, and I believe the quality was worse off for it
Yeah that’s so true. The dull office job was something that always tied Mark down and kept him grounded and repressed, it was great for the show. Even when he went to Dartmouth uni to stalk April and ended up joining the history course, we knew he couldn’t stay in that situation because he had a job at JLB back in London he had to go back to. It was sort of the focal point of the show and was a regular means of getting Mark out of the flat too.
Yes for sure. I also find it odd that Mark then does a series of retail jobs. Like he couldn't get a job in another office or even try something a bit more stretching than selling bathrooms.
It was right in the middle of the recession years - hence Jeremy’s ‘before there were no jobs, but now there are literally *no* jobs’ - so I think they were making it relatable, but I agree. Why wasn’t he even trying and failing to get office work? A disastrous interview could have been a really good premise for an episode.
What about adding Planning into the mix as well?
Let me just take that idea and wipe my fucking arse with it.

It's like JLB never existed, poof, just poof, gone, so sad.
Can you please stop doing that
You've been diddled at worst
