Peep Show fans were shocked as a video revealed the condition of a flat inside the same building the iconic sitcom was filmed in.
The comedy series which was broadcast on Channel 4 from 2003 - 2015 focused on the lives of Mark Corrigan and Jeremy Usborne, played by double act David Mitchell and Robert Webb respectively, in their flat in London.
In real life, the home of the fictional housemates is in a tower block called Zodiac House in Croydon, London - although it underwent a rebrand for the series and was called Apollo House.
A video on TikTok appeared to show a brief tour of a flat located in the apartment block, though it looks very different to what fans witnessed on the beloved show.
Captioned with 'Mark & Jez' Flat in 2025,' the clip first shows the exterior of the building, located in Croydon.
The camera then pans to reveal a corridor in the property and shows an empty cupboard with the words, 'no more orac,' followed with a crying emoji over the video.
In the show, eccentric Mark calls his boiler 'Orac' as a continuous joke that features throughout the series.
The boiler is located in an indent in the wall in the hallway, as shown in the TikTok clip.
The video then moves into another room, which appears to have a cluttered carpet and boxes and other items stacked near a window.
Captioned with 'Jez coded decoration,' the video refers to Jeremy who was portrayed as immature and laid back.
Another part of the clip revealed a living room area with a large window, scattered dining chairs and rubbish on the floor.
The poster commented 'Creamy elephant gone,' which was what Jeremy named the cream, leather living room sofa.
Moving into the kitchen, which appeared to feature missing tiles and broken cupboard doors, the caption 'NO TURKEY?!' played over the clip.
'Where's the turkey Jeremy?' Mark asked as he began to cook Christmas dinner during an episode.
'What?' Jeremy replied.
'The turkey, where's the turkey?' Mark persisted, to which Jeremy responded, 'I thought you were getting the turkey?'
'You what,' Mark exclaimed. 'No turkey! You f****** idiot, Jeremy! You total f****** idiot! That was your job!'
He continued to shout at Jeremy who stood stone-faced and bluntly said: 'It was a joke Mark, I was joking. It was a Christmas joke. Of course I've got a turkey, it was an organic turkey. I spent ages researching it online, it's going to be delicious.'
Peep Show fans commented on the condition of the flat and penned: 'Why has it been left a tip?';
'This is outrageous!';
'Bro I'm so sad.';
'Very different'.

Another posted: 'Never been the same since Super Hans kicked the bathroom door off it's hinges.';
'This is such an iconic flat.'
Earlier this year, Croydon Council purchased the blocks of flats, according to Inside Croydon.
Another flat in the same Peep Show block was listed for sale back in 2023 for £300,000.
The kitchen was a fully renovated space which boasted black marble floors, with entirely new whitewashed units installed.
The bathroom was pristine with white and black marble - quite the opposite of the room that had a door broken down by Super Hans.
The flat also shows off an impressive view of London from the high-rise balcony, where Battersea power station can be seen in the distance.
The property was listed on Rightmove and read: 'The property is an ideal purchase for an individual looking to get onto the property ladder as a first time buyer or a buy to let investor looking to obtain an attractive rental yield.
'The property consists of two double bedrooms, an open-plan reception room with majestic views of London, a fully renovated kitchen with integrated appliances, and a modern family bathroom.
'The owners have been able to refurbish and polish the original parquet flooring, which adds to the character of the property.
'The décor is light and airy and will allow a buyer to use their imagination to put their stamp on it.
'The property spans over an impressive 792 square feet and has two well-proportioned bedrooms with ample space for storage in the master and integrated storage in bedroom two.'
