Spaced on DVD (1999)

Kathryn from Liverpool, England , 17/02/2006

This is one of the best sitcoms I have ever come across! In fact it is the best. The only bad thing about it is that there are only two series.

Spaced can be watched and re-watched and you will still not get bored. The script, directing, and production is wonderfully slick. Quite surreal at times but not overly ridiculous, fantastic collection of characters. Suitable for most ages, and will appeal to most types of humour.

I urge all comedy enthusiasts to watch Spaced. Comedy just does not get much better than this. It is, without question, essential viewing.

Spaced is packed with humorous movie references, clever witticisms, sarcasm, pathos, clever twists that you don't see coming, hilarious slapstic moments, inteligent writing and pretty much every comedy trick in the book. For Simon Pegg, Jesicca Stephenson and Nick Frost, this is where it all began! It is where Shaun began to shoot the Dead and where the Fuzz became Hot.

It is the sort of humour you come back to after a first showing and still laugh out loud at. In fact, I am on my fifth viewing in two years (which is a lot for me - I usually watch a film/series twice at most).

Spaced is by far the funniest thing that has come out of the British comedy stable for an exhorbitantly long time. I always show this to people who haven't seen it yet and gain perverse satisfaction that they like it as well.

In much the same way, I urge you to see this (and stick it through to at least the 4th episode as the humour becomes funnier as the series matures). Watching both Spaced 1 and 2 also makes a second viewing more pleasurable as you begin to notice things that you missed the first time around and thus gain more pleasure from the 2nd viewing.

Any series that can make a dog, bamboo and lightning a hilarious cliffhanger ending has my vote on any day of the week!

Myself and my friends are huge fans of the series, and are compulsive quoters. Being a Spaced expert/nerd, I was prepared for an airy fairy documentary that barely scratched the surface of a programme which is such an essential element of my pop culture conscious. I wasn't expecting such detailed analysis of the intricacies of both series, such a level of cast/crew participation and such original presentation.

The documentary is essential viewing for hardcore Spaced fans. It features the emminantly likable cast/crew, a number of fans and some questionable B-celebs (some of whom I'd have prefered not to have to hear from). It even features a small vision of Tim & Daisys' futures... something that will no doubt have fans misty eyed in nostalgia.

A great treatment and perfect final word on one of Britain's best loved comedies.

Not tons of bonus features on this bonus disk - but the feature length doc about this very funny sit-com is well worth watching if you are a Spaced fan. Also included is a montage of clips from the show which is good, and cast and crew bios.
