Those Peep Show interviews

September 12th, 2009 by Dan

“In American sitcoms, the underlying attitude is, ‘everything’s OK’. In British sitcoms, the underlying attitude is, ‘everything’s maudlin and disappointing and inescapable’. That’s the world view of a civilisation that has been knocked off the top spot and continues to meander. I imagine American sitcoms will have a lot less hugging and learning in a hundred years’ time.”

Nice interview in The Independent today.

Also one in The Guardian:

“Well, I’m more of, an, erm sequencer. I, erm, bongo. Look I can bongo!”

    I'm inexplicably happy to read that Mark is trying this:

    "….Mark moonlighting from his office job to be a walking-tour guide, traipsing the back alleys of London, imparting knowledge to likeminded history buffs…."

    and about "19th-century mercantile history (the least sexy of all the histories)," no less.

    Bain and Armstrong are geniuses!

    Robert Popper popping off great toon. Now I really can't wait for the new Peep Show series.

    Thanks for pointing to these interviews.
