Season 1 Episode 1
From Jessica Hynes (nee Stevenson):

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away there was a flat to rent, £90 a week, professional couples only. Daisy - an annoying, unfeminine, talkative, faux intellectual wannabe writer bumps into Tim - a grumpy, childish, arrogant fan boy and aspiring graphic artist in a cafe.

Together they journey down the perilous path of tardiness, unemployment and partying, cleverly disguised as a career path, by posing as a professional couple to obtain tenancy. Along the way they dance, fight, sing, drink, play scrabble, f***, no sorry they don't f***, I don't know why I said that, they're friends, just good friends.

Why is that so difficult to accept? Why do you feel the need to project some kind of 'thing' on to them, a man and a woman can be friends okay?

Deal with it. JE-sus.

Season 1 Episode 3
From Edgar Wright:

I often think of 'ART', the third episode of Spaced, as the very first. Why? Well, for reasons to long to go into here, I decided to edit it first. Okay, so the reason was that I was in a something of a black mood after the wrap party and decided to cheer myself up by starting with a sequence that I was quietly confident about. That would be this episode's zombie prologue featuring a healthy dose of brain splatter for a situation comedy. Given that there was no pilot, this became the first episode anyone involved ever got to see finished. And what a 25 minutes it is. An invasion of the Living Dead, paranoia at Flaps magazine, the art wank stylings of Vulva and Hoover, all tied together by the melodramatic musak from Resident Evil. It was exciting to put together and just exciting for me to watch even now.

Season 1 Episode 6
From Simon Pegg:

People often regard Punk as the definitive revolution in contemporary music, what with all the sneering and demonstrative strumming. But the Acid House movement of the late eighties and its evolution into the ecstatic dance culture of the '90s represented an altogether more happy-clappy instance of cultural sedition. With the specter of the desperately out of touch ‘Criminal Justice Bill’ looming like a bad dad over every party promising persistent repetitive beats, British club culture wound up engendering the kind of fierce camaraderie usually reserved for the battlefield. It is this blissful moment of shared euphoria that we wanted to authentically capture in this episode. Of course, there was a little bit more to it than that.

Season 2 Episode 3
From Jessica Hynes (nee Stevenson):

In this episode Mike and Tim attempt to dominate the underground world of bare knuckle battling droids, with their beautiful 'bot - Private Iron. while Daisy finds herself in the insane asylum that is Neo Nacho's - a Mexican restaurant she is washing up in. A homage to 'One flew over the cuckoo's nest’ this episode was a love letter to anyone with a head full of poetry and a heart full of passion stuck in a job they hate. Starring Tim Sampson, Will Sampson’s son - kudos to our incredible producer's Nira and Karen who found him and managed to get him to do it. He offers me a juicy fruit at the very end - a career highlight.

Season 2 Episode 4
From Edgar Wright:

Spaced evolved from a charmingly baggy jumper in its first series into some tightly woven knitwear with the second. This episode, 'HELP' is a great example of the complexity and ambition of the show with a nifty series of interlacing plot strands. Everyone gets great moments here, be it Tim & Mike's raid on DarkStar Comix, Daisy's animated netball flashback or Brian's dog-rescuing redemption. Throw in some eye popping gym wear, an encore for Michael Smiley's ecstasy riddled Tyres, some killer one liners and a big tub of coffee granules and you've got a fantastic little adventure.

 

Season 2 Episode 5
From Simon Pegg:

This is my favorite episode of Spaced. Jess and I had half-heartedly cobbled together an episode that juxtaposed two differing nights out, enjoyed by the male and female contingents of the show and handed it in to a subsequently unimpressed Edgar. In the wake of his indifference, we resolved to write an episode centered predominantly around Daisy and Tim. What ensued was hashed out over an afternoon in a greasy cafe, scratched in hurried pencil on a cheap notebook over milky coffee in polystyrene cups. It represents everything we ever wanted to achieve in writing this show and is to this day, one of my proudest moments.
