Since the late 90s, Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain have been a somewhat under-appreciated gift to the UK comedic scene on TV. From their early beginnings on Smack The Pony, they've gone on to work on the likes of The Thick Of It, Fresh Meat, and film Four Lions.

The crowning glory for the writing pair is Peep Show. Starring David Mitchell and Robert Webb as a pair of dysfunctional friends who share a flat, it utilises an almost unique point-of-view style (accompanied by audible thoughts of the characters). It's widely regarded as one of the greatest British sitcoms of all time, and is also the longest running comedy in Channel 4 history

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
