Super Hans

Peep Show is a BAFTA award-winning British sitcom starring David Mitchell and Robert Webb. The programme is written by Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain, with additional material by Mitchell and Webb themselves. It has been broadcast on Channel 4 since 2003, and the fifth series aired in 2008. A sixth series has been commissioned.

Synopsis
Peep Show follows the often sexually-frustrated lives of two men in their late twenties, Mark (Mitchell) and Jeremy (Webb). Having met while at the fictional Dartmouth University together (they occasionally refer to themselves as ‘The El Dude Brothers’ in reference to their student days), they now share a flat in Apollo House, London Road in Croydon, south London.

Mark is a loan manager and the more financially successful of the two, but is extremely uncomfortable socially and pessimistic about nearly everything. Jeremy, who at the start of the first series has recently split up with his girlfriend ‘Big Suze’, now rents Mark’s spare room. He usually has a much more optimistic and energetic outlook on the world than Mark, yet his self-proclaimed talent as a musician is yet to be recognised, and he is not as popular or attractive as he would like to think himself.

Super Hans (Played by: Matt King)
Jeremy’s band-mate and friend, Super Hans likes to think of himself as being superior to others and is an untrustworthy shyster and fantasist. He regularly uses recreational drugs, and experiences a crack cocaine addiction in the second series. His contentious opinions often contradict Jeremy’s own ideas. He works in a recording studio in the first series. At the end of Series 5 he joins a religious cult. Russell Brand originally auditioned for the part.
