Spaced

Spaced is a British television situation comedy written by and starring Simon Pegg and Jessica Stevenson, directed by Edgar Wright, and broadcast on Channel 4. It is notable for its almost constant dropping of pop-culture references. Two series of seven episodes have been broadcast (in autumn 1999 and spring 2001). The first series was a nominee for Best TV Sitcom in the 1999 British Comedy Awards.

Spaced is concerned with the strange adventures of two twenty-somethings sharing a flat in London: Tim Bisley (Pegg), an aspiring comic book artist, and Daisy Steiner (Stevenson), an aspiring writer. In order to secure the (surprisingly cheap) lease of their flat they falsely tell landlady Marsha Klein (Julia Deakin) that they are a couple. Marsha, an aging divorc?e rock chick, lives upstairs in a haze of cigarette smoke with her teenage daughter Amber (a heard but unseen character apart from a few fleeting glimpses) and a regular supply of red wine. Also living in the house is conceptual artist Brian Topp (Mark Heap); regular visitors are Tim's army-reject pal Mike Watt (Pegg's former real-life flatmate Nick Frost) and Daisy's best friend Twist Morgan (Katy Carmichael), who is "something in fashion". The regular cast is completed by Tim and Daisy's dog, Colin, and the characterful north London house known in the series as "23 Meteor Street".
