“I believe in Christmas. I’m a Christmasist.”
It might have only aired in 2010, but Peep Show‘s only festive episode has already been added to the canon of classic British comedy Christmas specials that also includes Alan Partridge, The Office and Father Ted.
‘Seasons Beatings’, the fifth episode of the show’s seventh series, has Mark host Christmas for his family for the first time, with Jez spending his first holidays without mum while she’s off on a cruise. It’s an episode that takes place completely in the flat, and feels incredibly claustrophobic as the day goes on.
And because this is Peep Show, it is both very funny and cringe-inducingly awkward.
But how many of the details can you remember?
