How Spaced taught me to be friends with boys

Forget all the fuss about Friends, Channel 4 comedy Spaced (15 years old today) offered the perfect example of platonic male-female friendship, says Daisy Buchanan.

'Spaced': The beginning of 'The World's End'?

Having been one of the 'chosen ones' to have been able to see a pre-screening of the Edgar Wright/Simon Pegg film, The World's End, my mind immediately began to wander (no comments, please) as I left the cinema to just how much I love the earlier Channel 4 comedy series, Spaced.

From the genius vault: Spaced

Originally pitched as a cross between The Simpsons, The X-Files and Northern Exposure, Spaced only ran for a couple of seasons on Channel 4 in the UK, but this has to be one of the most clever British comedies series of all time.

US Spaced: the wait (and the hope) is over

The US version of Channel 4 sitcom Spaced has become the stuff of TV legend. There was much excitement when Fox announced it was adapting the sitcom three years ago, to be helmed by none other than the director of Charlie's Angels director, McG. But fans feared the worst when it turned out that none of three people behind the original version - Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Jessica Hynes (nee Stevenson) - were involved in the remake. It was nothing to the reaction of Wright and co when they finally saw the finished version ("McSpaced" as Wright called it). Disappointed doesn't quite do it justice. "I am worried about the large amount of you who stabbed out their eyes or washed them with bleach after watching the US pilot. My sympathies," said Wright on Twitter today. For everyone else who hasn't seen it, the Stateside version has now made it to the web, so fans can finally see it for themselves. Pining for the original? Ah, that's better.

Monkey, The Guardian, 4th March 2010

It might be a decade old, but back-to-back repeats of this flatshare comedy are still reason enough to stay in. Quirkily written and acted by Simon Pegg and Jessica Stevenson, as she was then, Spaced is still effortlessly cool and funny, with edits and camera tricks that are now used by everyone. This first episode introduces non-couple Tim and Daisy, manically intense artist Brian and their dipso landlady. Pegg and director Edgar Wright went on to make popcorn classics Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, but this was better by miles: honed, inventive and sweet as a nut.
