Alan Johnson and Super Hans are the most interesting characters in the show. They both serve as toxic idols for Mark and Jeremy: Johnson as the image of corporate masculinity (get the deal, get the girl, get the car) and Super Hans as the image of the anti-establishment egoist. Both are wildly flawed shitbags, but Mark and Jeremy can only see in their respective idols what they want to see.

That is a great observation One of the bonus features on one of the DVDs has the writers take on mark, Jeremy & Hans. Mark is how men perceive themselves. J is how others perceive them. And Hans is how men aspire to be. But that needs to be modified to factor in Johnson

I feel this also works because Johnson is something of a father figure for Mark. I don’t really believe that Mark is attracted to him sexually, but more that he Mark sees Johnson as a suave, kind paternal influence - the polar opposite of Mark’s truly awful own father. Mark is so inept with his own feelings that he can’t identify this and conflates his admiration and love for Johnson with something sexual. There’s proof for this in that Mark routinely remains in denial about his own feelings and relationships throughout the series (such as persevering with his doomed relationship with Sophie before the proposal, despite his increasingly obvious resentment of her), because he naively believes doing so will bring him the security he craves.

Such a great actor. Perfect character.

Vast majority the quotes I remember off by heart Johnson's responsible for at least half. His pep talks are literal gold.

The best Bond we never had. He's good looking, a brilliant actor and would really nail it in the action sequences

Mark wants to be Johnson's queen. If the public will accept him, he's going to be Johnson's queen.

The APR joke is classic johnson 😂😂 It would probably only be...12%

He is often considerate towards mark at times. Always felt like he was looking out for mark occasionally - like when he seen Sas grinding on Jeff, “are you okay with that”

Paterson Joseph was a really Inspired piece of casting

Jeremy looked so good in that Ted Baker suit . . .

‘Chance would be a fine thing.’ X3 😂😂😂
