The train scene in Peep Show makes no sense at all.

The one where Jeremy tells Mark he loves Dobby, then they make a deal for Jeremey to leave and Mark not to propose. Bearing in mind Mark is going from Croydon to the Quantocks (in Somerset):

- the guard charges Jeremy for a ticket without asking where he's going to or from.

- Jeremy says they are only going one stop, so that can only be to change trains in central London. £31 for a ticket from Croydon to London Victoria, 20 years ago?

- during that one-stop journey from Croydon to London Victoria they are somehow passing through empty countryside.

- after their one stop, Jeremy must somehow have got through the ticket barriers at London Victoria and then onto another train, heading to the Quantocks, all without a ticket and without Mark saying anything about the deal they just made a few minutes ago.

- when they get off at their destination, Jeremy announces he's actually not going back to London - somehow Mark had him with him on his 2-3 hour journey from London without questioning why Jeremy hadn't gone back.

Yes I know I live RELENTLESSLY in the real world, but I don't think the writers had ever been on a train.
