10 Best One-Off Characters On Peep Show
4. Aurora & Lucy
Series 4 Episode 5: Holiday
You can't talk about one, without talking about the other. And while these two come as a pair, they couldn't be more different.
Both are awfully terrible people in their own ways; Aurora is spoilt and childish (quite like Jez) and Lucy is cold-hearted and leering (quite like Mark). You have to admit, these two are perfect for our Peep Show protagonists. Had Mark not already been engaged, and Jeremy not killed their dog, the four could have lived in Bangalore in total bliss.
Aurora and Lucy both present interesting stories and mishaps for Jez and Mark to get into. Jeremy's continuous strive to have sex with every woman he meets puts him at Aurora's childish mercy, while Lucy the sociopath's fawning over Mark makes for great entertainment as Mark attempts to swindle his way into a high-paid job in India. With every other scene involving these sisters, the audience learns more about the kind of nightmare they would be to be in the company of.
But it wasn't meant to be, as the events of the episode make for one of the most infamous scenes in Peep Show's run. It's a shame we never got to see more of these two sisters, but that's the magic of Peep Show.
