TV - Spaced

This is my fave comedy show. It's written and starred in by Simon Pegg and the lot who did Shaun of the dead. I managed to pick up both series for really cheap on dvd, having not seen it for a while and was in stitches the whole time.

Is it around in america? It's a very surreal comedy about 2 20 something slackers pretending to be a married couple to rent a flat in london. It features all night resident evil sessions on speed, zombie flat mates, a mental pill head named tires among others.

Nicked from here :

Spaced is a sitcom like no other. The premise is simple enough: Daisy (Jessica Stevenson) and Tim (Simon Pegg) are out of luck and love, so pretend to be a couple in order to rent a flat together. Downstairs neighbour and eccentric painter Brian suspects someone's fibbing, and almost blows their cover with their lecherous lush of a landlady, Marsha. Fortunately he soon falls for Daisy's health-freak friend Twist, while Daisy herself goes ga-ga for pet dog Colin. Tim remains happily platonic with lifemate Mike; a sweet-at-heart guns 'n' ammo obsessive. The series is chock-full of pop culture references. In fact, each episode is themed after at least one movie, with nods to The Shining and Close Encounters of the Third Kind proving especially hilarious. Hardly five minutes goes by without a Star Wars reference, and every second of screen time from Bill Bailey as owner of the comic shop where Tim works is comedic gold. The look of the series is its other outstanding element, with slam-zooms, dizzying montages, and inspired lighting effects (often paying homage to the Evil Dead movies). It's an affectionate fantasy on the life of the twenty-something that's uncomfortably close to the truth.
 
^ LoL !

It's so good

"well, we watched an interesting piece of contemporary theatre, we drank a unbeleiveable amount of free booze, ate our body weight in twigglets and you punched an artist"
 
if you haven't already seen it, get "The Office" there's two seasons of that and two christmas specials,


then get Nick Frosts 50,000volts (its Ed from SoTD and his army mate in Spaced) he made his own special tv show

Black Books (english show again) about an alcoholic book shop owner, and stars some people from Spaced in some episodes

and a canadian show I recently become addicted to is

Trailer Park Boys.... very very amusing :D
 
Seen all of them except the canadian one. I'm from the UK so saw em all first time round. The office is good, not my fave. Black Books is proper wicked!
 
"....Skip to the End....." is a bonus DVD with the boxset, I picked it up when I was in London when it was released....



I must say this is one of my most favourite shows ever, I *love* the character of Brian, I didn't at first but he is just so funny.....and his girlfriend (cant remember the name right now bit tipsy) and how she works "in fashion" but really works at a dry cleaners.....
 
I just finished watching Season 1 DVD again and found it just as funny (picking up on things I missed the first time around) and now I'm about to continue to watch the rest of Season 2 DVD.


I can't wait to see if they will make a third series.
 
are you sure they're making a third? i loved the first two seasons.
this along with black books and the office are my three fav. comedy shows in recent history :)
 
yeah, I too think that a third was planned but might not happen since the success of SOTD :(

no news on the Spaced-Out.co.uk site other than that everyones working on different projects.
 
Jessica Stevenson you mean? ;)

thats terrible news if so, it means we're never going to see another Spaced :(

I wanted to know what was going to happen with Tim and Daisey, perhaps a Christmas Special (similar to the office) would be needed.
 
Spaced is awesome, yes.

I saw Season 1 in a marathon. One of my ex-housemates owns the DVD, which rocks.
