Jeremy Makes It is the second episode of series 2, and eighth overall episode of Peep Show.

Summary

Jeremy runs into an old schoolmate, Gog, who he used to pick on, at Toni's engagement party to her separated husband, Tony. He finds out that Gog is successful and looking for musicians to score a short film he's involved with. Jeremy enthusiastically pursues the opportunity, seeing it as a big break. Meanwhile, Super Hans is doing crack at the party.

Mark is forced to work on a Saturday with Daryl, a new guy at the office, but within a few minutes they become friends. Daryl and Mark play around and they staple a sausage to an employee's door. When Jeremy hangs out with the two of them he begins to get jealous.

Jeremy has Daryl play in his band for the soundtrack. It goes poorly with the work being rushed and disorganized. Later, Mark and Daryl go to a WWII reenactment and play Nazis, where he discovers that Daryl is a Neo-Nazi and a racist. He confides in Jeremy, who is excited to have a valid reason to get him to stop hanging out with Daryl. However, Gog dislikes Jeremy's work with the singular exception of Daryl's cor anglais which he requests more of.

Jeremy, Super Hans and Mark go to Gog's house. Mark is under the impression that they are there to reason with Gog, but it turns out they are there because he didn't like their music and they are trying to torture him into paying them for their music.

At a workplace meeting at Frankie and Benny's Daryl's transparent racism starts coming out to the other employees as well. Mark is embarrassed and attempts to mitigate the situation by removing Daryl from the meeting and speaking to him in private. Daryl, is oblivious to Mark's discomfort especially since Mark beats around the bush.

Mark knows he must officially stop being friends with Daryl, so at the next band rehearsal he isolates Daryl in the recording room with him on the other side of the glass, so he can reject him from a safe distance. Daryl is angry and effectively ends his relationship with the band and with Mark.

However when he comes back work and is fired for perpetuating a hate crime, he conceals Mark's involvement thereby protecting him. On his way out, Daryl (in view of all viewing employees) comes over to Mark and quietly calls him a "good guy", stating that he has no hard feelings. Mark, in response, shouts angrily at him as he leaves, castigating his friend in order to protect his social standing at the office.
