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.

User Reviews

Clever, funny, endlessly quotable. Like a proto-Shaun of the Dead.

Witty and incredibly fun! I love watching these characters

The omnipresence of geek culture in modern life has dulled some of the referential novelty, but the scripts remain a sharply funny

It’s so well filmed, but doesn’t take itself seriously. A must for Edgar Wright fans, and I think Community buffs would love it too.

Amazing. Feels a little film school, but to really appreciate Edgar Wright’s style, go back and watch it being formed and perfected.

This show is classic Edgar Wright. Fans of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz will feel right at home watching this.

Cameron Campbell

Very early Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg comedy. Personally I think it’s a great show but it only lasted 14 episodes.

Where Edgar Wright’s creatively genius style was born, the coming together of incredible talent that produced a hilariously brilliant show

Other than freaks and geeks my favorite show from the 1990s-2000s

Spaced is more than a sit com. It’s a love poem to what it meant to be a Sci-Fi/Fantasy geek in the late 90s

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace

When the Hellmouth opens beneath Darkplace Hospital in downtown Romford, kiddy doctor, Vietnam veteran and ex-warlock Dr. Rick Dagless M.D. is the only man who can close it. Joined by best buddy Dr. Lucien Sanchez, fiery hospital boss Thornton Reed, and woman Liz Asher, Dagless must fight the forces of Darkness while dealing with the burden of day-to-day admin. From the chilling pen of best-selling horror writer Garth Marenghi comes this lost masterpiece of televisual terror. Dare you enter Garth's Darkplace?

Peep Show follows the lives of two men from their twenties to thirties, Mark Corrigan, who has steady employment for most of the series, and Jeremy "Jez" Usbourne, an unemployed would-be musician.

Look Around You

LOOK AROUND YOU. Look around you. Just look around you. What do you see? A tree. A weather-vane. A discarded lollipop-wrapper. A traffic shop. All of these things, and any other things you may care to mention, have one thing in common. Can you work out what it is?

Black Books centres around the foul tempered and wildly eccentric bookshop owner Bernard Black. Bernard’s devotion to the twin pleasures of drunkenness and wilful antagonism deepens and enriches both his life and that of Manny, his assistant. Bearded, sweet and good, Manny is everything that Bernard isn’t and is punished by Bernard relentlessly just for the crime of existing. They depend on each other for meaning as Fran, their oldest friend, depends on them for distraction. Black Books is a haven of books, wine and conversation, the only threat to the group’s peace and prosperity is their own limitless stupidity.

This Is England '86

It's 1986 - the year Maradona ends England's World Cup dreams in Mexico; the year Top Gun is the highest grossing film; the year over 3.4 million Brits are unemployed and the year Shaun is leaving school.

That Mitchell and Webb Look

That Mitchell and Webb Look

A comedy sketch show featuring David Mitchell and Robert Webb.

The misadventures of four lunatic students who live in a shared student house. There's Rick, the overblown political one addicted to Cliff Richard, Vyvyan the experimental scientific one/part-time anarchist, Neil the worried hippy, and Mike the ladies' man (at least he is in his mind).
