    In an interview for The Culture Show Uncut (UK) Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain said that two of the main inspirations for Peep Show were the scene in Annie Hall where Alvy and Annie are talking and their real thoughts are shown as subtitles, and also the documentary "Being Caprice" (2000) (which in turn was inspired by Being John Malkovich), which used a POV style of filming that they thought was an arresting technique which would go well with the inner thoughts/voice-overs of Mark and Jeremy. They also cited Danny in Withnail & I as an inspiration for the quirky, drug-addled Super Hans (also the dynamic of an even weirder third character alongside a double act).

    Throughout the series, Mark has a large, modern flatscreen television in his lounge (although different models have been used), however a 2009 Guardian interview with David Mitchell, which was held in his flat, revealed that his own television was an old, long-obsolete model which couldn't even show teletext. Mitchell said he felt a certain pride in that it still worked fine and that "fear of change, laziness and busyness" was the reason he hadn't upgraded his home and its contents to something more befitting of his success as a comedian.
