Episode One - Beginnings
Daisy and Tim, two drifting twenty-somethings, meet by chance in a North London cafe. Their love lives and professional endeavors are a mess, and both are desperately in need of accommodation. When the perfect flat becomes available, Daisy and Tim decide to pool their misfortune and pose as a couple in order to secure it. Could this be the beginning of a beautiful friendship?

Episode Two - Gatherings
Having successfully secured the flat, Daisy and Tim get accustomed to their landlady (weird), their angst-ridden artist neighbor Brian (weirder) and each other (weirdest). Daisy helpfully suggests a housewarming party, but there are some things even the best home-made foil disco ball can’t fix.

Episode Three - Art
Tim is plagued by zombies. Daisy is in the midst of a career crisis. Together, they experience a bizarre figure from Brian’s history, when an invitation to an art show is delivered to them by accident, and they enter the strange world of transgender, performance artist, Vulva.

Episode Four - Battles
Daisy decides getting a dog will solve all her problems. Meanwhile, a deadly serious paintball skirmish spirals into something even more critical when Tim and best buddy Mike encounter former-friend-turned-bastard, Duane Benzie. A gripping story of love, betrayal and triumph ensues amidst the spattered battlefield that is Elimination Paintball Games.

Episode Five - Chaos
Daisy loves Colin, her new dog. Tim however, does not. Tension at 23 Meteor Street is at an all time high but things get so much worse when Colin is dog-napped on Tim’s watch. It’s up to Tim to organize a daring rescue mission and clear his name.

Episode Six - Epiphanies
Tim’s friend, the mercurial Tyres stops by to collect a debt and persuade everyone to come raving. Twist and Mike join the party, but for some reason Brian does not “go clubbing.” Will Brian face down his demons? Will Tim and Daisy ever speak to each other again? Will Mike really wear that pink top?

Episode Seven - Ends
The season ends with a bang - Tim gets a call from ex-girlfriend Sarah, asking if he wants to 'meet'. Brian and Twist go on their first date and Mike gets a re-evaluation at the Territorial Army. Meanwhile, Daisy has to face the possibility of leaving the place she has called home for six eventful months.


SPACED: SEASON TWO EPISODE DESCRIPTIONS

Episode One - Back
Having fulfilled her dream of travelling through Asia, Daisy is delighted to finally be home. Things appear to be more or less the same, except that Mike has moved into her bedroom, Brian has apparently discovered what happiness means, Colin doesn't seem that bothered to see her and Tim is even more bitter than usual. Good thing Daisy’s met a cute but mysterious stranger at the airport …

Episode Two - Change
Tim's anguish at The Phantom Menace loses him his job. Daisy is having financial troubles, having let slip her sojourn to Asia at the benefit office. Brian is finding inspiration to be a fickle mistress and after Amber's spectacular departure, Marsha finds herself with a spare room. Lucky then that Mike has just been made homeless.

Episode Three - Mettle
Daisy flies over the cuckoo's nest when she finds herself employed in the kitchen of a Mexican Restaurant. Meanwhile Tim and Mike's plans to win Robot Wars are sabotaged by their dastardly rivals and Brian gets his big chance at success when he is asked to step in for a wounded artist at a local exhibition.

Episode Four - Help
Tim has a shot at the big time when Darkstar Comics, decide to give him a call. However when Daisy unwittingly inserts an offensive drawing of Darkstar boss, Damien Knox into Tim's portfolio, the race is on to retrieve the picture and save Tim’s career. Meanwhile a contrite Daisy decides jogging will absolve her and Brian's unsuspecting Mother pays a visit to her son...the lawyer.

Episode Five - Gone
When Tim's new girlfriend Sophie, cancels a date, Daisy offers to hang out with Tim. However, their night on the tiles does not go as planned and the dynamic duo find themselves pitted against a pack of terrifying youths. Fortunately Daisy and Tim are armed and ready, with some premium oregano and a fistful of fingers.

Episode Six - Dissolution
It’s Daisy’s birthday and Tim has a big surprise planned. However when Marsha spies him snogging Sophie in the front garden, the little falsehood he and Daisy wove so long ago begins to unravel and the real surprise turns out to be far less pleasant than a cake.

Episode Seven - Leaves
Marsha puts the house up for sale. Tim, Daisy, Mike, and Brian will soon be homeless and Twist is leaving for Manchester. Is there anything that can stop our heroes drifting apart forever? If there is, it will definitely have to be something "bloody spectacular". --© BBC and Warner Bros Home Video [More]

Pegg, Stevenson, and Wright know their demographic uncannily well, having shared their experiences and looked at the world through the same skewed lenses as most Gen Xers.

If you only buy one DVD this year make it Spaced. Seriously, it's funny. Very funny. This show will not only make you laugh, it will get better with each viewing as you pick up on more and more of the pop culture references.
