The first world-class episode. It features skinny dipping, an orgy and an interminable hippy dance class. Some of it was just so Rainbow Rhythms, and some of it was just so not Rainbow Rhythms!

Mark experiences everyone's worst nightmare - making friends with someone who turns out to be a tremendous racist - while Jeremy tries to impress the hirsute Gog with his awful music.

I'm not sure what the best moment of this episode is - Mark trying to get run over and calling a motorist a "jizzcock" and a "pisskidney", or Jeremy pissing himself in the church - but it is seminal.

Mark and Jeremy get trapped in a stairwell en route to Mark's son's christening. Like Robinson Crusoe, only with a feeble attempt to kick down a door and pizza posted through a letterbox.

There have been some nasty characters in Peep Show, but none as cruel as Dan Corrigan. "Could you not slip a muzzle on your woman, please, Mark?" is awful stuff, but gripping TV!

Saz, Mark's loudmouth Aussie paramour, is a great one-off characters, and the scene with her girl's night in is outstanding. "Hey, Mark! Get back in here so Lindsey can jerk you off!"

The one where Mark meets Dobby, but the scene where Mark sees Sophie for the first time since their wedding is 10/10 stuff. "That's right, stare at Hess, throw fruit at Hess, pacing his prison yard."

There are so many good moments in this episode - "Gunny", Jeremy and his mum ("Mummy, coffee, fucky-hurry-uppy!") - but the scene where Mark gets raped by a "thirsty gay" is outrageous.

Jeremy serves on a jury and dates the woman he's judging, while Mark pretends to take an eccie. World-class stuff from start to finish, especially when Mark kicks the layabouts out of his flat.

Mark's stag-do is interrupted when Jeremy runs over a dog and spends the episode trying to dispose of it. Mark discovering the dog in the bin, and their attempts to burn it, is just superb.
