From the desk
How this season is filed
First-person cameras inside two terrible brains sharing a Croydon flat. Peep Show makes interior monologue the entire joke: David Mitchell's Mark, Robert Webb's Jeremy, Olivia Colman before the prestige years — British social horror as a nine-series cult that never looks away.
TV Flash files Season 3 of Peep Show (2003–2015) on Channel 4 as a mid listed season (3; 3 of 9) — 6 listed hours, 2005-11-11–2005-12-16 from “Mugging” (S03E01) to “Quantocking” (S03E06). Titles, dates, and synopses on file — no invented recaps.
Desk essentials in this season

Mugging launches year three in one blunt gerund: Peep Show's comfortlessness as house style, the POV still refusing a laugh-track hug.
