> To achieve the effect of watching the lives of Mark and Jeremy through their own eyes, Peep Show's producers utilised new filming technology. Much of the filming in the first series and part of the second series was carried out with the actors wearing head cameras (like the one pictured). The viewers did not see this apparatus because the actors obviously do not wear their head gear whilst they were in front of camera. This process made for a time consuming production schedule and the quality of the filmed footage was poor, so in the later series the head cameras have been used less - instead the actors talk directly into a normal camera (as, according to Webb, this produces the same effect but is easier to do, and the picture quality is better).
