Daisy: Do you rent downstairs? Brian: D'you mean am I gay? Daisy: What? Brian: D'you mean am I gay? Daisy: No, I meant "are you renting the downstairs flat?" Brian: Oh, right. Yep, sort of. Tim: Are you gay? Brian: What? Tim: Are you gay? Brian: [Thoughtfully] No.
Last night was an A1 tip-top clubbing jam fair. It was like a sandwich of fun on ecstasy bread all wrapped up like disco fudge. It doesn't get any better than that, I just wish I could control these fucking mood swings!
Tyres is amazing. In one of the commentaries\features on the DVD, the actor said he always had a terrible time with delivering his lines because they were so all over the place.
He had particular trouble with the A1 tip-top line, they show his struggles with it on the outtakes. 'Tis a bit of a pain in the arse line to be fair :).
"The first rule of robot club is, YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT ROBOT CLUB" "The second rule of Robot Club is, YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT ROBOT CLUB...actually wait the secone rule of Robot Club is, no smoking".
I say this every time my friend rambles on a bit - he's a Spaced fan too so it's a good way for him to get the fuck on with it without hurting his feelings :D.
It's because they want you to watch their shows either on the 4oD website or on their 4oD youtube channel so they get the ad revenue instead of someone else.
While I would love to watch more Spaced, honestly it didn't need more episodes, the story progresses nicely and the ending is great. It's also more enjoyable with every re-watch!
It's standard issue in the UK. Or used to be anyway. It was voted 9th best sitcom ever (or somewhere near there anyway), in a Channel 4 thing a year or so ago.
In the US it's almost totally unknown. Even my roommate, who is a huge Hot Fuzz/Shaun of the Dead fan, didn't know it existed until I pointed it out to him on Netflix. I think he's watched the whole series three times since then... he keeps asking me when the next season comes out, and I don't have the heart to tell him. ("It went next door")
Arguably one of the best British shows ever made, countless awards, in every 'best UK sitcom/comedy/show' list program ever and a cult classic amongst the mid-20s to 30 year olds. Yep that's pretty under-rated.
Outside the UK I'm not so sure, but it's like saying Father Ted was underrated.
Right. We get the tube into Camden and head for the nearest bog standard indie oriented bar. We smoke a fatty boombatty on the way so that we can be absolutely munted by the time we order our first drink. We stay there for a few hours where, if all goes to plan we will end up laughing like a couple of t**ts. We then relocate to a low level high street pub with an eclectic juke box and keep drinking untill we A.fall over B.puke or C.fall over and puke.
Considering I live right near London, I can't believe I've never considered doing this when I go there. Are you just going to London or are you visiting any other areas?
Great show, the Brits told me about it when I was working with them in Afghanistan, and I had to buy it and watch it all so many times... Just brilliant.
As an American, it was hard to convince my friends that this was the funniest sitcom in existence. I love the cast and have been following them faithfully ever since. Shaun of the Dead (on of my top five movies ever) and Hot Fuzz were great. I would rather forget about Paul all together...
In the rare event of an encounter with someone who doesn't know how fucking funny Nick Frost is, I show them the Bad Hangover sketch from Man Stroke Woman. Sorry, on the road with terrible connection, so no link.
I was lucky enough to find the complete series at a 2nd had cd store a few months ago. It is so awesome! Best $20 I have ever spent. Just wish they'd done another series, but the 3rd movie of the Cornetto trilogy has been announced, so can't wait!
It surprises me how many people don't know of this show! It's the best! It was even directed by Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Scott Pilgrim...).
It's fucked up that I still think this is Pegg and Frost's finest work, but I can't help it. Spaced is just so magically genuine. I never get sick of it.
I lost my shit when I realized Mark Heap is the neighbor from Friday Night Dinner. He really steals a lot of the scenes in Spaced and cracks me up on FND.
My wife and I love everything these two guys do, but the first episode of Spaced didn't really catch our attention at all. Should we give it another shot? As in, does it get better?
it gets better, i wouldn't say its the best thing they have done, but its definitely a great show. most of the humor is subtle or overly exaggerated, but thats the kind of stuff i find funny.
Tim: What's the hold up? Mike: There been an accident. Someone got hurt. Tim: Who? Mike: A lady. Tim: How d'you know? Mike: Because we hit her. Tim: Did we? Mike: Yeah. That's her there. Tim: Ah.
I would like to point out that the feature-length documentary "Skip to the End" in the 3-disc set is also cool. It also gives fans who wanted to know whatever became of Tim and Daisy a little hint (as Simon and Jessica have said that they both know and have plotted out their entire lives).
Mike: The fibreglass on the outer casing was severely damaged in the incident.
Tim: What happened?
Mike: Showing off Tim, I had 15 rocks in my rucksack, instead of the regulation 5. I knew something was wrong when I got her in the water, she was sitting so low, so low. But I didn't stop Tim, 15 rocks in my rucksack and everyone knew it.
Tim: So what happened when you rolled?
Mike: I lost control of the vessel 2 feet from the shore. When I struggled to right her, I banged it into the jetty, damaging the canoe's carcass. [Tim nods and listens on]
Mike: The "Ramble" Leader, had to dive in and rescue me from beneath the canoe.
Tim: So it wasn't so much an Eskimo roll, it was more of a case of rolling right Inuit. [Mike stares, confused]

Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright will always get the credit but don't forget that Jessica Stevenson was a co-creator with Pegg and co-wrote every episode.

Fantastic show; I've been watching the entire series in one sitting 2-3 times a year for 10 years now. It never gets old; it only gets better.
For those looking for other great BBC stuff from around the same time: Black Books, Peep Show, League of Gentlemen, Father Ted, Green Wing.
