We're well into the new series of Peep Show and swooning over Jez's new lady lover, Elena.

And when we found out the actress playing her, Vera Filatova, has a degree in Philosophy and Economics from The London School of Economics we were both in love and a little intimidated. Which is a cheeky combination.

So in honour of Peep Show's newest sexy recruit, we've selected our top five Peep Show lovelies.

(And to all you Dobbie fans out there, we're sorry -- but we're already in love with one hot World of Warcraft player. Our hearts just aren't big enough for two.)

Check them out after the jump.


5. April. Season two, episode four. Mark follows her to Dartmouth, after she sells him some shoes, he seduces her with his historical knowledge but fails, predictably, to capitalise on what is the only time in all 6 series that a woman finds him genuinely attractive.

For: Approachable kind of beautiful, low standards - Mark gets a snog, intellectual - studying history degree
Against: Potentially frustratingly shy, possible shoe-fetish - she does appear to enjoy holding Mark's feet
Best line: "My Dad wanted me to study something something sensible like Marketing but I chose History,"

4. Sarah. Season three and Season six. We know, we know, it's Mark's sister, he feels like a brother to us now we're six seasons in. But she's got something, and Jez agrees with us, he took the not altogether recommendable route of telling her he loved her in order to have sex with her.

For: Dark sexy eyes, tall, career woman.
Against: Possessive and might ruin our imaginary friendship with Mark, and that is a friendship we treasure.
Best line: "Why don't we just get our dicks out right now then?"

3. Nancy. Season two to four. Jez's polygamous girl from hippy dance group "Rainbow Rhythms." In one instance makes lovelorn Jez watch while she copulates with another man -- and an incredibly smug and weird man.

For: Hollywood beautiful, she was in the TV series of Clueless, sexually uninhibited
Against: Maybe too sexually uninhibited, might force you into a VISA marriage.
Best line: "When I left you guys I was meant to meet up with the Belgium nuns but I ended up on crystal-meth assistant managing the IMAX in Bradford."

2. Big Suze. Season three to six. For so long the reigning sexy Peep Show champ, this posho has been tormenting Jez (and us) with her fiendishly upper-class sex appeal since season three.

For: Financially stable, good breeding, she could probably teach you how to grouse, related to equally sexy Claudia Winkleman.
Against: "bonkers posho", might expect you to support her financially, she'd made love to Johnson - an experience you'll probably never be able to top.
Best line: "I'm auditioning for a stage version of that movie Crash, you know, the one with the people who like to have sex with car crash victims."

1. Elena. Season six. Jez's Eastern European bisexual drug-dealer. Need we say anything more?

For: Eyes so blue that could give you freezer burns, a businesswoman.
Against: Callous and easily manipulated
Best line: "Isn't there a saying, whatever you don't know, makes you stronger?"

Stop shouting! We're not saying this is the definitive list, attraction is subjective. Who are your top five? Why not tell us in the comments?
