As Peep Show turns 20, a look at where The El Dude Brothers and crew are now... after cult comedy led to Oscar wins, a Royal wedding, health woes and a Strictly stint


Peep Show hit screens 20 years ago, as the lives of the horrifyingly relatable Mark and Jez played out and garnered fans across the globe

The Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain-created show ran from 2003 to 2015 with 54 episodes across nine series, and followed David Mitchell's character Mark Corrigan and his best friend and flatmate, layabout Jeremy Usborne played by Robert Webb. Since the show came off air, David and Robert, who met at Cambridge in 1993, have gone on to enjoy life as a double act, while the latter was hit with health woes just before his Strictly Come Dancing stint in 2021 - which ended in an early departure. He underwent surgery in October 2019, after he was diagnosed with a Mitral valve prolapse (MVP), which occurs when the small flap in the heart that stops blood flowing the wrong way becomes too floppy and does not close properly.
