Product Description
The complete first and second series of the multi award-winning situation comedy Spaced. SPACED revolves around two idle twentysomething flatmates - immature skateboarding would be comic artist Tim (Simon Pegg), and moody, responsibility-shy writer Daisy (Jessica Stevenson), and their self-induced lack of success in employment, relationships and life in general. Together with their oddball assortment of friends and neighbours: Marsha, Brian, Mike and Twist, they exist in a world perched precariously on the edge of mormality.

 holy balls, this is a trip... November 24, 2006

This has to be one the greatest television shows I have ever seen. I first heard about Spaced when reading up on Edgar Wright and his film Shaun of the Dead before it hit the US shores. The premise of the show was pretty basic, but that was the beauty. You have two strangers in need of housing, what do they do? Well they pretend to be a married couple and the hilarity ensues. I wanted to see this for years, but because the US doesn't get much in the way of overseas shows, my dreams would dwindle. That is until the BBC channel aired a few episodes...and it was amazing. This is a very smart show and I think everyone can relate to the characters in one way or another. Its sad that this was a short lived show, but if you have a region free DVD player you can pick up Spaced in a great collectors set. If you loved Shaun of the Dead, then this is a gimme, you'll love this too. Edgar Wright does awesome things and I can't wait for Hot Fuzz.
They're Lightin' up the Cinema, yet they can't get their show on DVD???? April 13, 2007

I am really really shocked that this isn't on DVD in the US. I mean REALLY REALLY shocked! What on Earth is going on??? This is right up the alley for 'Shaun' and 'Office' fans. We love 'The Office.' We love 'Shaun of the Dead.' And soon we'll love 'Hot Fuzz.' 'Spaced' is even more American than 'The Office.' It's a great diservice to America that this is not in circulation here! I watched the first series literally TWICE in a ROW! I mean, come-freakin'-on! Bring it on, man!
For anyone who loved Shaun of the Dead October 29, 2006

This program is absolutly amazing, it is by far one of the best written shows I have ever seen. If you enjoyed Shaun of the Dead, this DVD set is a must for you, It includes every episode produced, tons of bonus features on each disc, commentary on every episode, and a full length documentary about how this wonderful show came to be.
You'll love Tim, Daisy, Mike, Brian, Twist and Marsha like friends August 3, 2007

Great U.K. series (two seasons) by Simon Pegg & Edgar Wright, made before SHAUN OF THE DEAD and HOT FUZZ. I love "SPACED" even more than both of the movies (which are great), maybe because of co-creator Jessica Hynes' added female point of view? Whatever the magic ingredient it is, it makes for very relateable and endearing characters. That same sense of humor evident in the movies is very much on display here, but because this is a series you get many more hours to know these characters. And you'll enjoy every minute. Pegg's Tim Bisley is a Sci-Fi lovin' pushing-thirty nerd, but there isn't an ounce of parody, he's a real person. Jessica's Daisy Steiner too is a terrific character devoid of the typical sitcom shortcuts. Around these two is a stellar supporting cast inclduing Nick Frost's military-obsessed Mike, Mark Heap's struggling artist Brian, Katy Carmichael's oblivious Twist and the marvelous Julia Deakin as the alcoholic landlady Marsha. Each episode is a gem, and it adds up to a group of people you don't want to stop knowing. The documentary included in the three-disc set, "Skip to the End", is very comprehensive as both a behind-the-scenes and a history of the show (as well as providing a nice little CODA as to what may have happened to Tim & Daisy!). It's astounding that as well as SHAUN and HOT FUZZ did in the States that "SPACED" is not yet available in America. Seek it out.

If The Man would get up off his bottom and start making Region 1 DVDs of Spaced, I could die in peace. I guess the Powers That Be don't like wheel-barrels full of cash.
