a5c7b9f00b Tim Bisley and Daisy Steiner rent a flat pretending to be a couple. There, they meet Marsha, the alcoholic landlady; Brian, the disturbed and troubled painter downstairs; Mike, Tim&#39;s war-crazy best friend; Twist, a fashion designer and Daisy&#39;s best friend; and Colin the dog. What follows is the group&#39;s crazy and comical adventures. The adventures of Tim and Daisy who rent a room in Marsha Klein&#39;s house under the pretense that they are a couple. Also in the house is frustrated painter Brian. Together with TA fanatic Mike and Daisy&#39;s girlfriend Twist the duo get into a series of situations with hilarious results. I remembered seeing a couple of episodes of this series then it first came out and I was quite impressed.<br/><br/>On the strength of the reviews on this web-site I recently bought the DVD&#39;s of both of the series 1 &amp; 2.<br/><br/>I&#39;ve no hesitation is saying that this could well be the best sitcom ever produced. I do not say that lightly.<br/><br/>Both series of Spaced are on a par with (but different to) Big Train - first series, and the Alan Partridge series where he&#39;s staying in the Travel lodge.<br/><br/>It absolutely knocks the socks off anything that we&#39;ve ever imported from the States. It makes &#39;Friends&#39; look like cheap plastic, and the characters in the likes of &#39;Will &amp; Grace&#39; look like cardboard cut-outs.<br/><br/>My 2 sons (21 &amp; 16 yrs) also find it side-splittingly funny.<br/><br/>We&#39;ve all watched each series twice in the last fortnight - and will surely be watching it again soon.<br/><br/>I really love the attention to detail that gives insights into the personalities of the characters. <br/><br/>I won&#39;t waste ink on a list of superlatives - there&#39;s only one word that does justice to it. Sublime! Do yourself a favour - order it now! Spaced is a witty portrayal or modern life amongst friends the comedic timing is always spot on with references often ranging to the popular to the obscure in a tremendous geeky fashion.<br/><br/>The characters, while being exaggerated, are believable because we all have people in our lives similar to the characters. it&#39;s the exaggeration in these characters themselves than proves so funny.<br/><br/>the quick cuts between the real and the surreal highlight the thoughts that can be reflected in our own minds because these sudden flights of fancy the character&#39;s own day dreams, akin to ourselves.<br/><br/>It is not the surreality of spaced that makes it such a rich comedy, rather than it&#39;s reality taken in a light-hearted way.
