I was listening to the remainder of the Commentaries last night, and it was revealed that, in the episode where Tim Bisley loses his job and Daisy Steiner attempts to sign back on to the dole (I guess this would be episode I of season II), after Daisy was thrown out of the bank for trying to get a tenner, the old lady who was thrown out after is in fact the same old lady who appears in the Aphex Twin video, COME TO DADDY. Interesting to the utmost degree.

You guys are right - the episodes of Season II all merge into one big glob. I believe he just said Aphex Twin, not Richard D James.

it's ok, far too much smug pop culture references though for my taste and the characters aren't really that likeable, I'm an Office man through and through really, nothing beats that IMO

yeah, I like all characters in the Office (except ironically Finchy) but I only like 1 character in Spaced.
The only really funny bits in Spaced IMO are the geeks go clubbing bits, UK raver, King and Queen of Clubland etc

I get it, I get most of the references and I'm of the age group that it's obviously aimed at (Grange Hill, Star Wars episode iv generation) but I just don't think it's as funny as people say it is, midly amusing if anything
Didn't think Sean of the Dead was THAT funny either, sorry.

Brian: That's chaos theory. The belief that the future is in fact a mathematically predictable preordained system.
Daisy: So somewhere out there in the vastness of the unknown there's an... equation for predicting the future?
Brian: An equation so complex as to utterly defy possibility of comprehension by even the most brilliant human mind, but an equation nonetheless.
Tim: Oh my god...
Brian: What? Daisy: What?
Tim: I've got some fucking Jaffa Cakes in my coat pocket..!

if youve just said you didnt like bottom, instead of bashing everybody liking it, the reaction would've been quite different. you were asking for it.

i stick by what i said. bottom is aged at spotty teenagers and people who still act like spotty teenagers. its proper rubbish, and to be honest, i couldn't give a toss whether i bash everyone that likes bottom, because frankly, they deserve it.

i've never seen sex in the city, but the early series of fraiser were very good, though it did loose its way and in the later series just felt like you might as well be watching friends, which is diabolical.
i don't actually hate people who like bottom. plenty of my mates like it, and loads of other shit things.... still i totally stand by what i've said. blah blah blah who cares.

Fave scene :

yoof: "you what? What are you on about?"
Cos it shows a total generation gap and the yoof thinks tims a queer or soemthing.

i just watched the two series and i cant describe how enamored i am with this show.
is there any listing anywhere of the soundtrack anywhere? some of those electro tracks are great, particularly the one sampling the a-team when mike is dancing at the club.

On 30 October 2007, it was announced that Fox would commission a pilot for an American version of Spaced. Variety reported that it was unclear how Pegg and Wright will be involved, but that they may be advisors to the series; however, Wright later confirmed via his MySpace blog that neither he, Pegg nor Hynes were at any point approached regarding what Edgar infamously termed "McSpaced" (as picked up quickly by fans and internet press who disliked the idea of a remake) and will have no involvement.
Wright expressed that he was upset that "they would a) never bother to get in touch but still b) splash me and Simon's names all over the trade announcements and imply that we're involved in the same way Ricky & Steve were with The Office." Wright also expressed anger at the media for overlooking Hynes' role in the creation of Spaced by connecting the series to Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz in news articles. Pegg, Hynes and Wright have complained about a "lack of respect" shown by the US makers who have left them out of discussions.
