LONDON: The stars of Channel 4’s BAFTA-winning sitcom Peep Show are set to reunite for a festive special on The Great British Bake Off this holiday season. David Mitchell and Olivia Colman will join Isy Suttie, Matt King, and Sophie Winkleman—known to fans as Dobby, Super Hans, and Big Suze—for The Great Peep Show Christmas Bake Off.
The actors will compete in festive jumpers under the watchful eyes of judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith, with Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding returning to host. Notably, Robert Webb, who co-starred with David Mitchell, will not participate in the special.
This marks the first time the cast has appeared together on-screen since Peep Show ended in 2015. While they reunited briefly in February 2024 to celebrate the show’s 20th anniversary, not all members were present at that event.
Premiering in 2003, Peep Show followed friends Mark and Jeremy as they navigated their twenties through a unique point-of-view style with internal monologues. The series ran for nine seasons until 2015 and remains Channel 4’s longest-running sitcom.
