Sneakiepeeks is a situation comedy series broadcast on BBC Radio 4 between 2009 and 2010. It was written by Harry Venning and Neil Brand and produced by Katie Tyrell.
The series concerns "Beagle Team", an undercover surveillance unit comprising Bill Cooper (Richard Lumsden), who harbours unrequited passion for team leader Sharla Jasumani (Nina Conti), and the ex-criminal Mark Walker (Daniel Kaluuya). Lumsden and Conti also appear in Venning's somewhat more well-known comedy "Clare in the Community".
The typical mission involves the team attempting to listen in on conversations in places such as hotels, houses, and yachts. The mission is usually interrupted by such distractions as police trying to get their parked vehicle to move on, fallout from Mark's attempts to make money on the side, unexpected numbers of customers for the food van they are using as a cover, and occasional rogue agents from one side or the other.
