Excited fans wrote on Twitter: 'Seeing Paterson play Joseph Slughorn as an extra slimy Peep Show. Johnson was the icing on the cake… Why are Sophie and Johnson both out of the peep show in the new Wonka movie lmao…
'Wonka is nothing more than pure fan service (Peep Show reunion between Johnson and Sophie with a Dobby cameo in the opening minutes of the film)…
'I found out last night that Big Suze from Peep Show is in the Wonka movie and now I have to go see it again because I can't miss Big Suze… Me every 5 minutes during #Wonka as a different actor from Peep Show appeared on the screen…
'I'm still amazed that Johnson, Big Suze and Sophie from Peep Show are all back together in Wonka… I didn't expect to get my long-awaited Peep Show reunion from Wonka, but there you go…
'Tim Chalamet doesn't impress me, but Wonka had it figured out. Bunch of Peep Show actors finally get their day in the sun…
'No room for Mark, Jez or Hans in the Peep Show Wonka reunion. Johnson, Sophie and (oddly enough) Simon all have prominent roles with cameos from Dobby and Big Suze. Avoid 'origin stories' mostly, but apart from too many songs it's colorful and creative…
'I saw Wonka. Loses one of its four stars for the mostly forgettable songs and starring Matt Lucas, but gains it back for the Peep Show reunion, Hughoompa Loompa, and is the healthiest use of Timothée Chalamet and his perfect hair that we're likely to do to see….
'A little “Peep Show” reunion with Sophie, Alan and Big Sue in #WonkaMovie #Wonka #OliviaColman #SophieWinkleman #PatersonJoseph…
Excited fans took to Twitter to write: 'Seeing Paterson play Joseph Slughorn as an extra slimy Peep Show Johnson was the icing on the cake… Why are peep show Sophie and Johnson both in the new Wonka movie lmao'
'Wonka is absolutely brilliant!!! Director is clearly a big fan of the British comedy scene too! Half the Peep Show cast is in it… Peep Show's Alan Johnson, Corrie's Geoff Metcalfe and Gavin & Stacey's Deano weren't on my bingo card to be in Wonka, but such is life.. why was Wonka literally just a beep showing reunion…
'Wonka is also just a semi-unofficial Peep Show reunion… obsessed with how Wonka was essentially a multi-million dollar Peep Show reunion… Dobby, Sophie, Johnson, Big Suze… Peep Show fans eat at the Wonka movie, folks…
'@DobbyClub06 check out the huge peep show in Wonka! Also includes Issy Suttie and Sophie Winkleman'.
Peep Show ran from 2003 to 2015 with 54 episodes in nine series.
Earlier this week, Timothee celebrated Wonka's debut at the box office
The film is a prequel to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, showing how Chalamet's title character built his infamous factory and how he met the Oompa Loompas.
Wonka – which was budgeted at $135 million – also did quite well in foreign markets, earning another $113.2 million for a $152.2 million global debut.
