I don't think there's too much to say that shouldn't already be obvious. Probably the best British sitcom of the moment is returning after perhaps the best wedding in sitcom history. Who could forget Jez pissing through the mezzanine or the fabulous image of both Sophie and Mark sobbing their way through their vows before Mark was finally granted his freedom?

Having capped off its excellent fourth season in such style makes it hard to doubt that the fifth will hold anything less. In fact, to not watch Peep Show as it enters its fifth year would, quite frankly, be an affront to British comedy and a total hypocrisy if you have ever sighed a sad sigh about great British sitcoms not lasting long enough. It's must-see. That's all there is to it.

Also, I must add that with a lead-in of Dirty Sexy Money (9pm) and the new series of Derren Brown: Trick or Treat (10pm), Channel 4 have finally assembled a Friday night schedule to rival those of yore. Exciting, no? And it's not even sullied by the presence of The Friday Night Project.

We have a good six weeks ahead of us.
