Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

The second series of Spaced finds the gang at 23 Meteor Street a little older, but definitely none the wiser. Tim's career is hampered by severe hang-ups over The Phantom Menace. Daisy's career is just plain non-existent. There is still a spark of sexual tension between them, but it's overshadowed by Brian and Twist getting it on. Propelling the seven-episode series arc is the threat of Marsha discovering that none of the relationships are what they seem, Mike's increasing jealousy and a new love interest for Tim. That's the basis for a never-ending stream of in-jokes and references that easily match the quality of the first series. Tim has a Return of the Jedi flashback, then déjà vu in reliving the end of The Empire Strikes Back. There are spoofs of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Robocop, The Sixth Sense and comedy rival The Royle Family. There are guest spots from Bill Bailey, Peter (voice of Darth Maul) Serafinowicz and The League of Gentlemen's Mark Gatiss and Reece Shearsmith. Every episode is packed with highlights, but this series' guaranteed geek pant-wetting moments have to be the mock gun battles, slagging off Babylon 5 and learning that "The second rule of Robot Club is: no smoking." Jessica Stevenson won a British Comedy Award for this year. It deserved a whole lot more.--Paul Tonks

On the DVD: There's a chaotic but highly enthusiastic commentary from the director and cast, including of course Simon Pegg and Jessica Stevenson, who also talk about some deleted scenes and why they were removed. There's an outtakes blooper reel, as well as a selection of raw location footage and a self-explanatory clip, "Daisy Does Elvis". The most useful feature, though, is the subtitle "Homage-o-Meter" facility, which displays all the movie references throughout the series. --Mark Walker



Synopsis

Daisy and Tim - two twenty-somethings - navigate all that modern day life can throw at them.

5.0 out of 5 stars The F*ckest Uppest, 30 Jul 2002
This review is from: Spaced: Complete Series 2 [DVD] (DVD)
I didn't think it possible but Spaced series 2 has managed to improve on the first series. Simon Pegg and Jessica Stevenson continue to excel as twenty somethings Tim and Daisy and the decision to give extra screen time to Mike has proved a huge success as he manages to produce some of the funniest lines in the series (which takes some doing). edgar Wright continues to prove what an excellent director he is and Simon Pegg and Jessica Stevenson have continued to produce a flawless script and Spaced is now a programme that surpasses The Office and Knowing Me Knowing You With Alan Partridge. This DVD offers an interesting insight into Pegg, Stevenson and Wright during the commentary as they talk about how many of the jokes originated and also about other cast members who also make occassional appearances on the commentary.

As well as deleted scenes and outtakes this DVD also includes a Homage-0-meter which was excluded from the first DVD. This is very interesting as their is a large number of references that I missed while watching the series first time round.

Overall i would reccomend this DVD to anyone who has a sense of humour.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why the hell is this not on American TV anywhere?, 22 May 2004
By Christopher Fitzpatrick (Jersey City, N.J., USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Spaced: Complete Series 2 [DVD] (DVD)
In reading about "Shawn of the Dead", I learned that the creative team behind the film had this show called "Spaced". Thanks to the miracle of Region Free DVD players, I ordered both seasons of "Spaced" and have to say that I have not laughed as much since watching other British shows that have been totally butchered in their remaking on American TV. Simon Pegg and the entire cast handle their characters with both honesty and a little over the top-ness that totally works and is never not funny or truthful. As a Jersey City, NJ native who grew up on Benny Hill and Dr. Who, and loved "Hawk the Slayer", and still does, I wish this show would end up here so others would be exposed to it. Now I'm hoping that "Shawn of the Dead" will be here in theaters before 2005. Awesome, awesome shows and highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hit comedy series returns for a second season, 8 Jan 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Spaced: Complete Series 2 [DVD] (DVD)
Tim and Daisy are back for a second series as the mis-matched friends pretending to be a couple in order to rent a flat from the nymphomaniac landlady, Marsha.

The second season follows the format of the later first season episodes with references to everything from the Matrix to Robot Wars. The second season is even funnier than the first (no mean feat). With the characters well established, there are plenty of opportunities to play to play with ideas that were only touched on in the first season.

The best part of Spaced remains it's sense of familiarity. There are many moments when I caught myself chuckling and thinking "We do things like that". That is the best part of the series, it is the life that you think you lead with a sound track and perfect timing.
