Calling all The Dude brothers and Big Suze lovers: it’s time to fulfil the cries of your internal voice that thinks of the I’ve accidentally run to Windsor line from Peep Show every single time you push yourself beyond a light stroll.
Later this year, a real-life Peep Show marathon will kick off in London, with fans of the show taking part in the themed run filled with many a reference to the beloved series.
Runners will start off on October 12 in Zodiac Court in Croydon aka the home of Mark Corrigan (David Mitchell) and Jeremy ‘Jez’ Usborne (Robert Webb) throughout the show’s nine seasons, and end at Windsor City Centre – where Super Hans (Matt King) famously ran to by mistake. Plus, as the marathon participants have a Peep Show-based barrel of laughs along the way (insofar as one can when putting 26.2 miles into their legs), it’ll all be for a good cause; with proceeds going to Mind charity, who work towards supporting those who face mental health problems in their life.
What to do when you’re dun with run? Arrange for the men with ven to come and give you a lift back to the capital. Talking of which, actual Big Mad Andy (Liam Noble) from the show will be driving around a support ‘men with ven’ van to cheer you on throughout proceedings. If that doesn’t help you to the sprint (to Londis) finish, what will?
Now, it seems that spots at the hallowed Peep Show marathon are all snapped up, but that doesn’t mean you can’t support your pals along the way. Who do we have to thank? That’s the work of popular Instagram account dobbyclub06, who also put on events throughout the year, including quizzes hosted by Big Mad Andy and more!
The Peep Show Marathon takes place on October 12, and you can find out more here.
