Answer: Dobby
Dobby is played by Isy Suttie and Mark meets her at JLB.
From Quiz: "Peep Show"'s Mark Corrigan
Answer: Super Hans
Super Hans is also Jeremy's band mate. He is a rather misguided creature who seems to believe he is an expert on everything, yet is actually a quite pathetic man with a crack cocaine habit.
As for the other options, the only Super Mac I can think of is Malcolm MacDonald, the legendary footballer who bagged at least one goal every two games for Luton Town, Newcastle United and Arsenal respectively.
Obviously a Big Mac is a hamburger from fast food chain McDonald's, and Big Hans I came up with because I remembered the lyrics to Violent Femmes' "Blister In The Sun". Well, ok it's "big hands I know you're the one" rather than Big Hans, but it's close enough!
From Quiz: Peep Show
Answer: A pub
Merry went to university with Mark and Jeremy and they meet again after her mother has just died. She has a flat above a pub and initially hires Jeremy and SuperHans to manage it for her. Then she promises Jeremy the pub before she is sectioned.
From Quiz: Peep Show
Answer: A swastika
Mark tries to think like Jeremy, draws a swastika cartoon, then immediately regrets it.
From Quiz: "Peep Show"'s Mark Corrigan
Answer: You hear what the characters are thinking as well as saying
The internal dialogue in our two main protagonists' heads ranges from desperate - for instance when Mark bemoans to himself that the woman he loves has only been single for five minutes, and he's already unwittingly found her a new boyfriend - to ludicrous, such as when Jeremy is playing with a toaster and pontificating upon this dilemma - if his mum and dad were stuck inside it, which one he would rescue first?
The other options - I don't know of any recent comedies that were filmed in black and white,nor where you never see the main characters together, but the comedy duo Armstrong and Miller, along with "Coupling" actress Sarah Alexander, often appeared nude in their own show.

Answer: Jeff
Sophie briefly lives with Jeff after they begin going out in series 2. However, eventually they split up.
Barney is Sophie's cousin and Alan (Johnson) is Sophie's boss.
Jeremy and Sophie kiss at one point when Sophie and Mark go away on business and at the end of series 5, Sophie finds that she is carrying either Mark or Jeremy's baby.
From Quiz: Peep Show
Answer: Valerie
He takes her to the laserbowl where they run into Sophie, who's on a date with Jeff.
From Quiz: "Peep Show"'s Mark Corrigan
Answer: Jeff
Jeff is a macho Liverpudlian womaniser and is completely at odds with Mark's personality. You can't help but feel elated when he gets his comeuppance, Mark's internal voice saying it all: "Public humiliation - welcome to MY world".
Of the other options, obviously Jeremy is Mark's flatmate, Johnson is Mark's tough talking boss, and something of an idol to him, and Gog is someone who we learn was bullied at school - not least by Jeremy - but has now become far more successful than his former antagonist.
From Quiz: Peep Show
Answer: Nurse
Jeremy used to be a nurse. When he applies for a job at JLB at Mark's insistence, the interviewer asks whether he would find office work enough of a challenge after coming out of the nursing profession.
He can't have been a very good nurse though as in the very first episode he is with a girl who he thinks has cancer and he is scared he would catch it.
From Quiz: Peep Show
Answer: 85%
Mark develops a love for Johnson but decides that he's basically straight.
From Quiz: "Peep Show"'s Mark Corrigan
Answer: Neil Fitzmaurice
Perhaps the unsung hero of modern comedy, Fitzmaurice appeared in the first and last episodes of the original UK version of "The Office" (not including the specials). We see him playing a character called Alex, who is hired and then let go by the repugnant David Brent. He then appeared in "Phoenix Nights", playing Ray Von, an old school DJ whose song selection left a little to be desired, especially as the bulk of the people who frequented the Phoenix Club were old age pensioners!
Other options: Robert Webb himself boasts a healthy acting CV, having not only appeared as Jeremy in "Peep Show", but also starring in the acclaimed "The Smoking Room" as well as more mainstream comedies such as "My Family".
Canadian actress Rachel Blanchard most recently appeared in one of my other favourite comedies of recent years, "Flight Of The Conchords", playing Sally, the object of both Jemaine and Bret's affection. She also played the lead role of Cher in the television adaptation of the successful movie "Clueless".
Matt King is a well respected actor who has appeared in the likes of "Doctor Who", "The Bill" and "Star Stories", as well as a handful of UK films.
From Quiz: Peep Show
Answer: Quantocks
Mark takes Sophie away to the Quantocks. Jeremy insists on coming along too with SuperHans who is trying to kick his drugs habit.
Mark becomes increasingly annoyed by Sophie on the trip and in the end decides not to propose to her after all after a chat with Jeremy when they are stranded in the middle of nowhere.
However, while he is gone, Sophie looks in his bags and finds an engagement ring and accepts.

Answer: Sarah
Sarah is played by Eliza Bennett.
From Quiz: "Peep Show"'s Mark Corrigan
Answer: Something Stupid
One of the most cringeworthy moments of the first series, Mark gets flustered when trying to think what to say to Sophie and ends up singing the words "and then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like...I like you" into the receiver. It's hideously embarrassing, and especially uncomfortable for me to watch because that's exactly how I used to be when I was attempting to speak to women I was attracted to!
I chose the other options for various reasons - "Silly Love Songs", a number two hit for Wings in 1976, contains the line "I love you" as its main refrain, so that would have worked, whereas Lionel Richie's "Hello" and Blondie's "Hanging On The Telephone" made sense because of the situation.
From Quiz: Peep Show
Answer: Sally
Mark meets Sally Slater at the Fitzalan Comprehensive school reunion. He tries to play it cool but is obviously annoyed that she has married Foz who bullied him at school.
Mark and Sally become friends again but he is terrified when she suggests an affair.
From Quiz: Peep Show
Answer: David Mitchell
Mark is played by David Mitchell. Robert Webb plays his flatmate Jeremy, Matt King plays Superhans and Patterson Joseph plays Johnson.
From Quiz: "Peep Show"'s Mark Corrigan
Answer: The Hair Blair Bunch
It is only Hans who refers to their band as The Hair Blair Bunch. One of the other options I gave - Momma's Kumquat - was more agreeable to him, whereas The Swan and Tomato was the name Jeremy wanted to give to their pub in one episode.
The Orgazoid is one of Jeremy's musical heroes who turns up in an episode called "Handyman".
From Quiz: Peep Show
Answer: London
Mark and Jeremy live in Croydon in a block of flats called Apollo House.
From Quiz: Peep Show
Answer: Fitzalan Comprehensive
Exbourne School was the private school Mark attended until his dad's shares failed. Croydon is where Mark lives, more specifically in Apollo House.
From Quiz: "Peep Show"'s Mark Corrigan
Answer: JLB Credit
A company which specializes in loans, JLB Credit provides us with many of the main characters in "Peep Show". Alan Johnson is Mark's tough talking boss, hence Johnson's being listed as an option. Mark's arch rival Jeff and the love of his life, Sophie, also work at JLB.
As for the other two options, Corrigan is Mark's surname and Toni is an old flame of Jeremy's. She just happens to be married to a chap called Tony.
From Quiz: Peep Show
Answer: 5
Mark and Jeremy live at flat 5 Apollo House.
From Quiz: "Peep Show"'s Mark Corrigan
Answer: Mummy
This episode was so gruesome and realistic that I think they should have followed the lead from "Amores Perros" and put a disclaimer at the beginning of the episode saying no animals were harmed! Anyway, the dog belongs to two young sisters who Jeremy and Mark are trying to chat up, and Jeremy unwittingly runs it over in the siblings' father's car. The girls were not there to see the tragic mishap, so he tries to burn the evidence and things only go downhill from there. It's truly horrible, but also probably one of the funniest episodes.
The other three options could all feasibly have been dog names too.
From Quiz: Peep Show
Answer: Christian Rock
Jeremy and SuperHans go to a record company where they meet Cally who arranges for them to play at a Christian Rock festival. The only problem is that there will be no drugs or drink which makes it hard for SuperHans to cope.
From Quiz: Peep Show
Answer: Dartmouth
Dartmouth is a fictional university. He later returns there following a girl named April who he met in a shoe shop.
From Quiz: "Peep Show"'s Mark Corrigan
Answer: Rainbow Rhythms
Labelled as a "bit of fun" by Sophie, Rainbow Rhythms is, ostensibly, a rather pretentious hippy commune which Mark unintentionally does his best to ruin the vibe of. Jeremy, on the other hand, gets sucked into it and meets his taboo breaking "future wife" Nancy at the sessions.
I thought the other three options also sounded a little like they could be dance classes too.
From Quiz: Peep Show
Answer: Clean Shirt
The kids call Mark "Clean Shirt" which confuses him as he thinks that this should be a good thing.
In series 5, when the flat gets burgled, one of the thieves calls Mark "Clean Shirt" again implying that they are the same people.
