Running the Peep Show marathon from Croydon to Windsor

"Jez, I've accidentally run to Windsor."

The sitcom Peep Show, following the awkward but relatable lives of flatmates Mark and Jez, has become a cult classic since it ended a decade ago, gaining a following of devotees of all ages.

The idea came about when one super fan realised the distance from Apollo House, a tower block in Zodiac Court, Croydon, where scenes of Mark and Jez's flat were filmed, to Windsor, is exactly 26.2 miles.

Last month, around 100 of the most dedicated fans got together for the event organised by fan page Dobby Club, and donned fancy dress to run the marathon inspired by one of beloved character Super Hans' most iconic lines.
