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 Rapid-fire Editing And Frequent Dropping Of Pop-culture References. Two Series Of Seven Episodes Were Broadcast In Autumn 1999 And Spring 2001.

The First Series Was A Nominee For Best TV Sitcom In The 1999 British Comedy Awards. In 2006, Spaced Came 9th On Channel 4's The Ultimate Sitcom Poll, As Voted For By Sitcom Writers, Performers, Directors And Producers, Coming Ahead Of Sitcoms Such As The Office And Father Ted.

Tim Bisley (Pegg) And Daisy Steiner (Stevenson) Are Two London Twenty-somethings Who Meet By Chance Whilst Both Are Flat-hunting. Despite Barely Knowing Each Other, They Pretend To Be A Young "professional" Couple In Order To Gain A (surprisingly Cheap) Flat In The Distinctive Building At 23 Meteor Street, And Impress The Landlady, Marsha Klein (Julia Deakin). Also Living In The Building Is Brian Topp (Mark Heap), An Eccentric Conceptual Artist And Frequent Visitors Are Tim's Best Friend Mike Watt (Nick Frost) And Daisy's Best Friend Twist Morgan (Katy Carmichael).

The Series Largely Concerns The Colourful And Surreal Adventures Of The Two As They Navigate Through Life And Decide What They Want To Do With Their Lives, Come To Terms With Affairs Of The Heart, And Try To Figure Out New Ways Of Killing Time In Largely Unproductive Ways. Tim And Daisy Repeatedly Stress That They Aren't A Couple, But Despite (or Because Of) This, Romantic Tension Develops Between The Two Characters, Particularly During The Second Series.
