Peep Show Series 9: 9 Things We Hope To See

6. Let's See The Real Super Hans

One of the best Super Hans moments came in Series 7 when out of nowhere we found out about his kids. "The twins...the bloody twins, I'm always going on about the twins...How old are they? Er...what's funf? They were funf, zwei years ago" Moments like these are what make the character of Super Hans so great. Whilst at times he was in danger of being over-used, thankfully Super Hans became one of the funniest parts about Peep Show. Jeremy's drug-addled band mate was often some what of a rock for Jeremy, showing an underlying loyalty though the dynamic of the two often struck as Jeremy hanging around with the cooler kid at school. On the Spectrum of characters in Peep Show, if Mark occupies the dull end, and Jeremy being the somewhat balanced middle, Super Hans is the one tipping the scales at the other end as the liberal who wants to open a pub called 'Free The Paedo's'. We've seen the crack infused Super Hans, yet with moments like his admission of having twin daughters, we've seen a very real side of Super Hans. Though the writers don't need to beat us over the head with it, it would be great to see more of the human side to him if only for a few more choice quotes like the above. As long as he doesn't try and get Jeremy to join a cult again, Mark will probably be fine with it.
