Spaced

This comedy series run to two seasons on Channel 4 (around 1999/2001), was written by and starred Jessica Stevenson and Simon Pegg.

It is pretty hard to summarise in a few sentence but the words surreal, cult, weird all spring to mind. Very distinctive camera style and the shows are peppered with references to sci-fi and films.

The basic plot premise is that Tim and Daisy pose as a young professional couple in order to rent a particular flat - madness and mayhem ensue.

This clip from the second season gives some of the flavour of it but if you ever get the chance I would recommend catching all of it.

I was waiting for Phil and Grant Mitchell to make an appearance. Looks like a cool show.
