Spaced
Created by Simon Pegg, Edgar Wright, Jessica Hynes
On Channel 4
A surreal, affectionate comedy about young London flatmates navigating friendship and adulthood through a haze of pop-culture references and visual gags.
Spaced: the anti-Friends, in that it examines the lives of common 20 somethings, but in a way that is more down to earth and realistic. Here we have Daisy and Tim; two 'young' adults with big dreams just trying to get by in this crazy world. They are thrown together in a common pursuit of tenancy, which they find by posing as a couple. The house has a landlady and an oddball artist living there. The series explores the ins and outs of London living.
