Jeremy's Manager is the fifth episode of series 5 and twenty-ninth overall episode of Peep Show.

Summary[]

Jeremy and Super Hans believe they have caught their big break when they get a manager, a sexy new manager at Universal named Cally. Even though she seems totally shady and unscrupulous, they change their band name to Curse These Metal Hands (a name which she likes) and they high-five each other, agreeing that this is a worthy risk.

When Cally comes over to the house, and sleeps with Jeremy, she stops him in the middle of their sex and tells him it just didn't work out for her. The next day she begins to hit on Mark in the kitchen. It is later discovered that Cally really just wants to plug the band at a Christian rock festival, a gig which Hans and Jeremy are initially reluctant to take.

At the festival, Cally and Mark go on a date and wind up sleeping together after Cally tells Mark that she believes in the healing powers of crystal skulls, a fact that Mark is willing to put up with, but finds ridiculous. She begins giving him very precise instructions during sex, and tells him that at least it's better than Jeremy's sex, since she didn't have to stop him in the middle. Mark is perversely happy that Jeremy was stopped in the middle.

Mark admits to Cally that he thinks Hans is more marketable as a musician than Jeremy is. Cally decides to cut Jeremy from the band. She does, which makes Jeremy furious. He and Mark go to her trailer and trash it, which includes breaking her crystal skulls. Then, Jeremy hears from Cally, telling him that Super Hans has gone crazy and they want Jeremy back in the band, but first Jeremy must explain her trashed trailer. He tells her that Mark did it, furious over his best friend's removal from the band.

Jeremy ends up performing alone for an audience of one strange man. Cally dumps Mark by giving him the middle finger as she drives away from the festival.
