Peep Show at 20: A love letter to the great British sitcom and all the men who made me watch it

There are many things about men that I don’t understand. I don’t know why they think so much about the Roman Empire. Or why so many think that ghosting is an appropriate way to end a relationship. And I don’t really know what the phrase ‘emotionally unavailable’ means. But what I do know is that they love Peep Show.

I didn’t grow up in the UK. I moved here for university, but it wasn’t until after my degree that I properly started dating and, as a result, was introduced to the iconic piece of TV history that is Peep Show. It’s a show that marks its 20th anniversary today.
