" At speed." " Fuck it." "Slate one, take one." "(Simon)'We wanted to make the show real 'and have the characters go through real emotions, albeit in a weird setting.'" "(Jessica) 'The original title, Lunched Out, was mine." "'Simon then suggested Dumped, but Spaced was the end, which was Simon's." "'I thought that's only because SP is Simon Pegg.'" "(Nick)'It probably tapped into a vein of experience." "'A lot of people can watch Spaced and say, "Well, we've done that."'" "(Edgar)'When I watch the show, it seems light as the air, effortless and fun 'but when I think about it without watching it, I think how tough it was!" "'" "No, I haven't seen any of them, I'm sorry to say but obviously I've been waiting for the DVD box set." "Will I get a freebie?" "It's strange." "It feels very..." "It feels very familiar." " Yeah." " This area feels very familiar." " That was it there, wasn't it?" " Yeah, that one. 93." "No, cos I went to the door on that side." " No, it's definitely this one." " No, you're right, you're right." "The very first bit you probably see of the series would be this." " Here." " Cos Simon then steps into frame." " And the first word was..." " Why?" "This is where it all began." "And now we're back." "We're back." "We're bad." "I'm black." "She's mad." "The magic is back." "# This is where it all began... #" "Why are you crying, Edgar?" "It's over now." "It's all over." "He let it out." "We met at an audition for a sketch show that I went along to with my friend, Katy Carmichael." "'95 was the first time." "She chucked some water on me in a minibus." "And... we just became friends after that." "We got to know each other in '95, didn't we, Jess?" " Was it '95?" " Yeah, at The Six Pairs Of Pants." "At audition." "Yes, indeed." "Simon had written this sketch, this character" " Peter Parker - who thought that he was Spider-man." "And I picked it up and did it but as a sort of gouged-out kind of alcoholic." " I really liked it." " Did you?" "I thought you did." "I thought, "Who is this kid?"" "Then we both got the sketch show, Katy and I and Sally." "And Simon." "And Simon Schatzberger." "And Neil Mullarkey." "We were Six Pairs Of Pants." "Hi." "Hello." "Do sit down." "Um..." "Look, I came in on Monday and signed on but I haven't got my cheque yet and I'm a bit worried about that." "Well, you know the last cheque that we sent you?" "Yes..." "You didn't send a thank-you letter." "Simon and Jess saw each other and..." "And it was just comedy genius." " I think this is yours." " Ah." "Thanks very much." " Thank you." "Thank you." " There you go." "What's this?" "It's a Woolworth's voucher." "That way, you can spend it how you want." "Get yourself some pick 'n' mix." "Cheer yourself up." "And then Sally and Katy, I think... sort of became quite friendly and I was a bit, sort of... bit younger and a bit more guileless and started hanging out with Simon." "We got on so well that when I did Asylum and I was the 11-year-old pizza boy and we needed a girl to step in," "I suggested Jess, who'd impressed me so much in the sketch show." "Can you help me?" "Someone's not claiming a pizza." " Oh, that's awful." " I've got more deliveries, so could you..." "Yeah, we're all mad in here, so..." "sit down and I'll make a phone call." "I met kind of Simon and Jess, I think, on the same night actually, at a stand-up gig that Matt Lucas and David Walliams were doing." "Matt and Dave were the first people in London comedy that I got to know." "I moved up when I was 20 to London after doing a kind of film in Somerset." "# Mash and peas... #" "'I was lucky in that I did one show on the Paramount comedy channel 'with Matt and David, called Mash And Peas," " 'which Jessica was in.'" " What's gotten into you?" "You do know the boss is coming for dinner tonight." "Oh, my word, I forgot to buy any food." "What?" "!" "So I married a schmuck!" "Only joking." "Everything's gonna be just fine." "'Yeah, chill out, man." "Have a smoke.'" "All the food's in the oven, so stop laying eggs and start laying the table." "Mr Cornell, great to see you." "What do you mean?" "You've been seeing me all day." "What are you?" "Gay?" "I suppose you want a promotion." "I guessed it." "That's the only reason any of you chumps ever invites me." " No, we enjoy your company." " I don't enjoy your food!" "And then I did Asylum, which was an interesting experience because it was..." "It was almost semi-improvised or it was born out of kind of cast rehearsals." "So the script was written on the basis of what people were improvising and stuff." " 'It was my first show with Simon.'" " No, I don't think so." " Yeah." " Erm, s-sorry, that's a toy phone." "Sorry, you've caught me out." "Excuse me." "They became kind of like the central two characters of the show, I suppose, and... worked really well together." "Even though they'd done stuff together before, people were saying, "Those two were great."" "Because of Asylum, we ended up making Spaced." "It was the first time we worked together." "Whose idea was Spaced in the first place?" "Erm, well, erm..." "Spaced was..." "I mean, it's..." "Spaced is basically..." "The idea for Spaced was all mine." "I got Jess in, because I didn't think people would believe that I could have come up with something so amazing." "No." "It kind of came..." "I guess it..." "How it happened was weird because it was very organic, the way it came out of our interests." "I'd left home six years previously, when I was 18." "I'd been living in various states of squalor in London and doing various shitty jobs and..." "I wanted to write something that reflected my experience." "We were both really annoyed about the state of sitcoms for 20-somethings, which all seemed to be about everyone shagging around, using the word "shag" all the time." "I'd been thinking about various different ideas stemming from thinking about what was on telly and thinking about lots of different things." "I was mainly interested in the platonic relationship between men and women." "My interest in... in science fiction and geekiness." "Her interest in popular culture." "It just came together." "It happened really quickly." "We had no pilot." "It went straight to seven episodes." "We started writing straightaway." "I would go round to Jess's house." "We write together." "We don't look over each other's..." "We write bits and pass them over." "We change it and pass them back." "Little ideas are used or dropped." "That's when I just, sort of, had to start learning." "Before that, I hadn't written anything like that." "I learnt a lot from Simon at that point." "He was just, sort of..." "Mainly about the use of a computer." "We wanted to make a sitcom that was unconventional." "We wanted it to be single-camera, no audience, very associative." "It was all over the place in terms of the sort of narrative and the... devices that we used." "He had a very good idea about the sense and the style of the comedy and keeping it within the kind of context of a reality, so we could make the characters believable." "And Edgar as well, when he came on as the director, you know... brought to it a specific visual approach which we didn't know how to produce." "In that sense, it was good for me." "Usually, with a lot of TV shows, the director gets brought on last and it's something that the writers..." "Especially with "sitcoms", the writer and producer are the main, kind of like, sort of, unit." "I think, in this case, I was very fortunate to be brought on early, to the point where they said they wanted me to do it maybe 18 months before." "Edgar brought his whole... style of, kind of, camerawork - the Dutch, the whip and the like and... also was brilliant obviously at appropriating film styles to the different film references that we had in Spaced." "Spaced was great because it was the first time... well, one of the first times where I thought I could totally sink in with it." "I remember he came round to Jess's house with a little book... of the scene when me and Jess are getting to know each other on the street." "And I looked at it and thought, "You totally understand what we want to do."" "And so it was a kind of happy accident, I suppose." "Nick Frost had this character of Mike that he used to do just as a party piece." "Simon and I were friends from working in Chiquitos Mexican restaurant." "Simon and I were friends and I used to do Mike for Simon to make him laugh but he was much older... and he was more violent." " Michael Dugwatt." "Lives in the States." " Really?" " He's got a bazooka." " Oh, really?" "I just loved the idea of making Mike a little bit younger and Tim's best friend." "It just seemed obvious that Nick should play him." "When we went to LWT and we were naively making all these demands " "Paramount and LWT, it was - we said, "We want this actor, Nick Frost, to play..."" "But he wasn't an actor at the time." "He was a waiter." "And they just went, "Yeah." That happened all the way down the line." "(Nick) 'No one knew me so I think they took quite a gamble 'by letting me have such a big part on, you know, such an important show.'" "I took it with a pinch of salt, thinking, "It will never happen."" "Right up until the second day before we started shooting" "I thought, "It will never happen." "It just won't happen."" "When Simon first suggested the idea that his best mate, his flatmate, who had never acted, was going to play Mike, I was gonna go..." ""Are you sure that's a good idea?"" "I completely hold my hands up and say I was wrong." "I've apologised to Nick." "I just kind of thought, "Oooh..." "Hasn't acted before..." ""Big part in the show..."" "But he's just brilliant, you know, and he continues to kind of... blow people off the screen, never having had any formal acting training." " Hello..." " Hi." "It's me, the weirdo from upstairs." "I used to live underneath somebody who was a woman, who was basically..." "It was Marsha." "They really exist." "At rehearsals, they just said they wanted a landlady." "There was not much on the page really and I just... created this thing..." "To be honest, I think Jess and Simon were a bit worried." "I think they thought, you know, "We've hired this dreadful character actress " ""and she's gonna do something we haven't even thought about."" "Julia came along and started talking like this and it was born." "No!" " Hello." " Hi, Marsha." "(Julia) 'I based her on my friend, Danny, who lives in Queen's Park.'" "He's got the voice." "You know, he talks like that." "And he's perpetually optimistic." "And..." "So that's where I got the voice from - from a man - and the actual character from a woman I met on a Greek island once, who was permanently pissed on red wine and..." "Anything you said, it was all all right." "It was just great." "Whatever." "Worid War Three's broken out." "That's fine." "Great." "Yeah." "I think everybody had a crush on Julia." " Julia's pimps." " Everyone liked her." " I snogged her." " You wrote that in for yourself." " Pretty much most people..." " I forgot that." "...had a lusting desire for Julia." "Most of the female crew were in love with me." "It's his pheromones - very powerful pheromones." "Otherwise known as BO." "In Asylum, there was a character that Julian Barrett played called Victor, who was an artist." "'We just liked that sort of character.'" "A simple chair, an ordinary table, a book, a ping-pong ball and a domino." "Yet, placed together so as to become more than ordinary - extraordinary." "They become ART!" "The artist was based on various different people that you shared flats with - odd, strange people." "But also having an artist affords you all the opportunities to create his art and have that as part of the backdrop for the show." "You're creating a visually interesting world, which is colourful and dynamic." "They came and said, "Do you want to be in it?" I said yes." "Originally, Brian was much more erudite." "'His character was much more language-based.'" "The character was meant to be a bit more flamboyant and arty farty, but..." "I turned him probably slightly into a bit more grumpy and odd." "I've been to jobs even now where women are envious because I've kissed Mark Heap." "I didn't actually." "I just went like that." "So can you paint?" "No..." "But I can fall off chairs and things." "See, look..." " Come into my world." " Don't go there." "Twist was..." "Obviously, we wanted to create a part for Katy and we knew she played that part well." "Twist... is... based on... a character - a real-life character person - erm... a friend of mine from university who Jessica knows as well." "Loosely based." "All the nice bits of her - her interest in fashion and allergies to broccoli and things." " Twist!" "Hi!" " Oh, Daize!" "Ooh!" "Don't you look nice?" "Bit of midriff?" "Big's in this season." "Good for you." "'Presumably, they met at university.'" "They're both slightly strange and were obviously attracted to one another." "Some people are suckers for punishment." "Daisy's character sort of tolerated Twist and Twist kind of... kind of enjoyed the sense of, sort of, superiority." "You don't see why they're friends cos she's... she's always putting Daisy down and looking at her... fat thighs and label-checking her and all of this nonsense and..." "Once again, quite like this person that it's based on." "But she's sweet." "She does it in a caring way so she gets away with it." "'It was a laugh, a real laugh, to make.'" "This is Ninja Move 1, but it's called..." " Ninja hanging." " And then legs off, like this." "Get it." "It only lasts a second..." " That's quite a classy move." " That's the basic move." " What are you doing?" " Marsha says that we can have a dog." "In the first series, they wanted a dozen dogs chasing a little boy down an alley." "'Dogs that would run together, looking like a pack, 'and be quite vicious dogs, but wouldn't harm him, 'wouldn't fight or harm a child.'" "And I was involved in that." "The guy who was setting it up said, "They need a little dog." ""I've suggested you because you've got two little dogs."" "Not that they were trained for acting." "But..." "I just thought it was a wind-up when I got the telephone call." "I refused to take a dog right into London for an audition, knowing that it was a set-up from the Working Trials crowd." "'So I said I would meet Gareth at the service station.'" " She'll jump and sit in your lap." " Ideal." "Tap your leg and she'll jump on everybody." "'By the time I got home, there was a phone call waiting for me." "'Would I take the dog into the studio to see how she behaved there?" "'" "We went into the studio... and the dog walked into the studio as if she owned the place." "If Spaced was made with six actors who had never worked together before it would be completely different, no matter how good those scripts are." "Say Simon and Jess were just writers and actors were employed to do it it would be a completely different show, I think." "Here we are." "I reckon to the Corrib Rest." " Shall we go inside?" " Why don't we?" "Lady first." " Here we go." " Here we are." " Here we are." " The little reception." "This is the whole kung fu bit in the first episode of the second series." " First day's shoot." " Yeah." "That was the first day and probably the last because we had to shoot it again." "That little corner is where Tim and Daisy have a conversation about masturbation at the end of the first series." "You know, the whole thing about walking in on yourself watching porn." "That sort of..." "Yeah." "God, I haven't seen that for a long time." "'Yeah, yeah, I remember." "Do your own cocktail stick.'" "Sophie says, "We have a lot to talk about." "Yes, we have."" "But your fight, when you did all your stuff." "'Yeah, and give him a kick, like that." "I loved all that.'" "You did it all yourself as well." "You had no kind of like..." "No doubles." " But we had a great fight director." " Jeff." "Can I take you into the toilet to show you er, something?" "Here we are in the Corrib Rest, which was Daisy and Tim's Tufnell Park local but, as TV isn't always telling the truth, as you'll see, if we go this way - follow, follow, follow " "suddenly, here we are in The Monarch, in Camden, where I was doing a wee and said, "It's too orangey for crows." ""It's just for me and my dawg"" "in Episode 5." "We had to film it in here because the toilets at The Monarch weren't suitable." "And that's a fact!" "I remember the first series was..." "Both of them were really hard work and..." "The first series, I think, was a bit easier." "I certainly found it kind of easy because there was absolutely no expectations on the show." "Nobody knew who we were." "Nobody knew what time it was going out." "Nobody knew how it was going to go down." "I think..." "I can't speak for Simon and Jess but I pretty much directed this series as if it would be the last." "Do you know what I mean?" "You just think, "This is great." "We're just going to go for it."" "The thing that's always difficult - and it was the same with the second series and Shaun Of The Dead - you're not only trying to make the show, but second-guess what people expect or what they want and that's difficult." "We did the studio first on the first series." "I remember, you and me, we walked through our flat." "It was the first time we'd seen Tim and Daisy's flat and we were astounded that it was happening." "The whole thing about studio filming is you do feel cut off." "You're in this big, vast room for weeks on end, kind of locked away as it were." "Did you know our flat in Spaced was the same studio as the slaughtered lamb in American Werewolf In London?" " No?" "!" " With the pentangles on the wall." "The paintball episode which was great fun, was the first time we'd ever worked with Pete Serafinowicz." "They offered me this part of Duane and I thought..." "I thought it seemed a laugh." "I didn't really know Simon or Jess and I thought that'd be good." "Was there ever any doubt?" "Ohhh!" "'When I first met Simon and Nick..." "Like now, we're really good friends." "'I sort of traced that back." "That was the day we all became friends, you know." "'Duane's character, you know." "He's like a dick, you know." "'I sort of based him on somebody I used to know.'" "I don't know why but I'm quite good at playing dicks." "I'm not sure why but I sort of..." "I've gone through..." "Most of the characters I play..." "I've played, have been, like, pricks, you know." "So..." "Yeah, it's quite..." "It is always fun to do, you know." "Who's team are you on today, A or B?" " We're B." " Ah, cool." "Me, too." "Looks like we'll be fighting side by side." "I dunno." "Maybe that's what we need." " See you later." " We had a great few days just having a laugh, but we had only two days to shoot it." "So when we came to do Nick's death scene, it was getting darker and darker." "That was awful." "We only had a few takes to get this dramatic scene which we wanted to play completely straight." " 'That was incredibly stressful.'" " I'm sorry I said those things." "I wasn't thinking straight." "I say stupid things myself sometimes." "Oh, Mike, I'm the stupid one." "I've always been the stupid one." " What are you laughing at?" " I just got to be the hero after all, eh?" "Yeah, I you guess you did." "I've got to..." "I've got to sleep." "No, Mike, stay with me!" "So tired, so tired..." "Goodbye, old friend." "No, Mike..." "No!" " And cut." " Oh, how embarrassing." "Spaced was like that." "It would go from euphoria to misery in hours, or less." " Oh, this is so exciting." " First time?" " I'm 36." " It's your first time, old man?" " Always fancied myself as a soldier." " Yeah, I fancy myself." " I've always fancied you." " Not here!" "Paul Putner came and played the businessman." "He had a great scene where he was really badly shot with paintball." "I remember I had to be blown away by this... being hit with this massive amount of paint etc." "I had this paint squib, which was put there and this special effects guy was very good..." "They really wanted to make it a real lulu so they put on about three or four pouches full of paint and little, kind of, squib explosions." "And the guy said, "Yeah, it's all right." "Don't worry about it." ""You'll feel a slight stinging sensation maybe."" "Of course, we had to get it right, on the day - one take." "'And the anticipation as you're waiting for this thing to go off." "It was just... '" "Oh, God!" "'It was like being slapped as hard as you can on the chest with a kipper.'" "Hold those positions." "Prostrate in the mud... for ages." "Freezing." "Covered in all this paint." "Cos Edgar does take after take after take." "That was quite uncomfortable." "It was quite cold." "Oh, it's a tough life being an actor!" "The worst thing about that..." "I've got a thing about sticky material on my neck." "I know it sounds weird." "It's not really, but..." "All that yellow blood was paint." "Was it paint?" "Paint and honey or something." "Take a mouthful of yellow juice and I'm ready..." "So it was just stuck to my neck and it was awful." "I'm wringing my hands." "I remember the feeling of having... paint on my neck." "But that was my first death." "So I think I'll always remember the..." "you know, trying to act - trying... to act my way out of a paper bag." "The club scene was filmed at nine... nine in the morning." "No, half-eight, we started shooting the club scene." "We were dancing without the aid of any kind of stimulation at half-eight in the morning in this club - full." "It was bizarre." "What was brilliant about that rave episode was that I had never seen" "on TV or film the vibe of a rave captured so well." "'That fairy outfit that Twist wears in the nightclub scene is actually mine.'" "Not any more, but those wings, that corset and the whole thing," "I used to actually..." "I used to dress like that and go out for the night, I'm ashamed to say." "The best bit, I think, is the one where Mike is up there, doing..." "What is it?" "'You're really glad for Mike cos you always feel sorry for him." "'You wonder how he's going to get on in the rave." "'He doesn't really look like an E kind of guy.'" "I felt... alive... in that top." "I felt erotic." "Muscle boys dominate." "I just, you know..." "I felt hot." "Way!" "I think I'm learning, Tim!" " OK, I'll be there in a minute, OK?" " Give me a hug!" " I'll see you on the other side!" " Lovely!" "Tyres was just me at that time." "That's all he was!" "'I used to be a cycle courier." "I used to go out and rave like a mad dog." "'Right?" "'I used to sweat constantly." "'I was in a constant state of water around my body.'" "I nearly had gills, right?" "I had gills and flippers." "That's how much I used to go out clubbing." "So, you know, Jessica and Simon, bless them, just thought..." "They'd probably seen me coming home after a few disco biscuits and thought, "He's a cartoon character." "Hire him."" " So we'll see you later." " Cool." "And after a shower, a shit and a shave, I'll be back about 11." "Pack your party bags." "Tonight will be a large one." "Oi, lackey!" "Oi, oi!" "Simon and Jessica - it was more Simon than Jessica - used to set me up the whole time with..." "There'd be a speech..." "I just knew he'd set me up to make me go... in the middle." "One was where he goes, "What?" "Last night?"" "Last night was an A1, tip-top club..." "And he'd written it so that the words always would trip each other up," "I just knew he had." "You could see him off camera, going, "Do it again."" "Wahey!" "Ha, ha!" "You lucky people!" "I suppose Tyres is a... deus ex machina character in the way that Zebedee is in Magic Roundabout in that he springs down... as if from nowhere in his yellow shirt and he sorts everything out for everyone and their lives are transformed by him." "Then he leaves and says, "My work here is done."" "There are definitely people who are kind of, like, sort of doing "cameos"" "but I suppose... in some cases, I think sort of people were in the show as they were... either just before they kind of like became very famous or were just kind of breaking..." "Certainly..." "David Walliams hadn't done Little Britain by then." "I've known Edgar since about... probably since about." "I don't know how old he is." "Is he 12 now?" "I've known him since he was three, then." "'I love the part of Vulva." "'It's probably one of my favourite parts I've ever played, so... '" "Yeah, it's just pure, sort of, what I love to do which is to dress up and act in an extraordinarily awful and aggressive way." "'The unit base was in this park and... 'some kids had just finished school and they saw me dressed up like that." "'One of them went, "Let's throw stones at it"" "'which I thought was a great comment.'" "I thought it must be working because I was between genders." "Red!" "Eliza-a!" "This is a cleaning spray!" "Crack!" "'I didn't know much about her." "I think I'd just about read it before I did it.'" "But I remember..." "I was a bit late cos I was hung over." "I'd planned to be very camp and very outlandish and sort of sardonic and then I saw David Walliams dressed as Lee Barrington." "'I had to change my mind at the last minute.'" " Push it?" " No!" " Pull me?" " No!" " Smoke it?" " No!" "Heavy petting?" "Alcoholic!" "Use the cue tip for my holes Tissue for my face" "This face!" "I decided to go for the, kind of, art hooligan." "I remember shouting a lot." "Rather than the sort of poetic delivery." "'I'm glad that Paul had to suffer 'because he's always made me suffer in the work we've done.'" "Paul's a method actor which means that when he has to hit you, he really does." "I was glad to see him degraded." "He refused to work with me because I'd hurt him three jobs in a row." "I'd chipped his tooth with a gun, thrown a chair at him and I think a bit of glass in something we were doing with Annie Griffin." "So he was worried that I would hurt him." "Amazingly, I hurt myself with the vacuum cleaner." "I had these really tight paraplegic boots..." "We'd gone to Carlo Manse's, which is this big costume house and we really didn't know what we were looking for cos I don't think I'd seen the script at that point." "And then, tucked away on the third floor next to some weird box were these paraplegic, fur-lined boots covered in cobwebs and, sort of, dust." "'So we gave them a run-out cos it looked like they hadn't got work for a decade.'" "They were two sizes too small but that was the beginnings of constructing the character." "A lot of actors think that." "Get the shoes right and the right vacuum cleaner, you're laughing." "It's not finished." "It's finished." "Tim, can I have a word with you in my office?" "Yes." "So, Bill, tell us about your character in Spaced." "What?" "Could you tell us about your character in Spaced?" "Oh, er..." "Oh, yeah, yeah." "What was it?" "Oh, Bilbo." "That was it." "Yeah, I don't know how they came up with that really." "It was a bit of a departure for me really, playing a sort of... frazzled old hippy who works in a... comic shop." " Why don't you come back?" " Well, I like it here." "Why would I want to come back?" "This." "'Look, Bilbo, this is Tim." "'Please can I come back?" "I don't like it here.'" " Was it your first major dramatic role?" " Erm... no, I did..." "I played one of the Three Wise Men at school in one of the nativity plays and..." "I brought a sort of otherworldly, distracted quality to the role but... this was probably the first major TV role, yes." " And action." " All that about Madonna." "Tyres has a short attention span." "I remember..." "Oh, wrestling." "Ada, come on!" "Get up." "Get up!" "Get up." "Don't you dare!" "Come on." "Go on." "Ada." "Are you fed up?" "You are fed up, aren't you?" "What a grumpy dog you are." "Get up." "Get up." "When we were in progress, Edgar would just say," ""OK, now I would like..." ""Is it possible for Ada to do this?" "I would like that."" "I'd put her on her lead and walk her through what he would want." "I'd do it two or three times and then we'd go for it." "This is your big moment, dog." "Do it first time." "'With Simon and Nick, but particularly with Simon..." "She fell in love with Simon which was... which was really good because she went in a backpack." "The first series was the first time she went in the backpack and he ran with her." "When he's running, he is running and it was night-time and it was on cobbles so it was a strange set-up." "But she was just so, so good." "Yes, Simon, I'm talking about." "We got on perfectly." "She was..." "She was a fine companion, a passionate lover..." "'She was... very nice and we got on famously.'" "Yeah, I wish her all the best for the future." "I'm off to enjoy a night running around with a gun and you've got to be good for Uncle Michael." "Settle down and get comfy." "Because you, my friend... are going nowhere." "Oh, bollocks." "Ada was quite difficult." "Ada was extremely difficult." "She didn't bond so well with Jessica at the beginning because the first time she met Jess on the..." "when we went to the studio" "Jess had a pair of rubber gloves on." "They were filming the moving-in scene." "She had the pink gloves." "She came over and spoke to Ada and rubbed her up and down with rubber gloves which rather made Ada a bit wary of her after that!" "Come on, Colin." "Dance, dance!" "Dance, dance." "Come on." "Oh, no, she's fed up." " Yeah, I'm afraid she's fed up now." " And we cut." "I remember coming round this corner and it was gale-force winds." " That's right." " Yeah, it was really..." "It was the last day of the shoot." "It tipped down." "So this is where we were sort of saying things like..." " We talked about Batman comics." " Batman comics." "How you got the scar." "'You'd driven your cardboard car into the fountain.'" "That was very funny." "You wrote that." "I liked that because you were talking about Batman as well." " That was for you." "I tried to impress you." " And you did." "As you always do." "That might be the window where Daisy was having the conversation with her tramp boyfriend." "This was Daisy's squat in Series 1." "And I had to lean out of that window to talk to my one-night stand, who was a tramp I was trying to get rid of." " You're sitting here with the beach ball." " Oh, that's right." " Oh, no, no..." " This is..." "Look." " Look, this is where we sat." " Yeah, this is it." "Cher-kink!" "'This is where you..." "The Polaroid thing.'" "Yeah, pretended we were on holiday." "This is the least practical street for filming ever just in terms of noise." "But that's why it's great." "It was so difficult to film in this street!" "Why can't we have our own street in our special world?" "This is the alleyway where young Daisy ran away." " 'No, chased.' - 'Young Tim ran away from the dog.'" "And young Daisy chased the dogs down the alleyway." "This is Twist's dry cleaners which you see in both series." " This is where we shot the sort of..." " What year did you do that in?" " Is it a couple of years ago now?" " Yeah." "A couple or two or three." " Three years since the second series." " Did you watch it?" "No, I didn't actually." "No." " Like the rest of the country." " I've forgotten to watch it." " I told him to tell me when it was on." " But our customers did." " They recognise the machine." " Oh, really?" "That's it, yeah." "And they came and told me that they've seen it." "The Spencer Sprint 200." "A famous machine." "This is where I got to know you and you were saying about you got a third." " 'No, no... ' - 'You were scared of mice and spiders.'" "Yep, and I..." "Which was very well rendered." "We wanted to convince Marsha Klein that we were a professional couple." "Channel Four liked it so much they commissioned a second series before the first series had gone out, which is amazing." "We hit the ground running with the first series but, you know... by the second one, we were gathering pace." "We watched the first series and thought, "This is what works." ""Let's do that more in the second series." That's why it has more action." "The first series was very ambitious for the money." "In Series 2, we had a bit more money but the scripts were twice as ambitious, so even though we had a bit more budget, it always felt like we were fighting the ambition of the show." "We never pulled our punches when we wrote." "We always said, "Let's just write exactly what we want and deal with it later."" " Did you get that milk?" " What milk?" "Well, I asked you to get some milk when you left." "Right, that was two months ago." "Oh, sorry." "Just thought you might want a cup of tea." "It doesn't matter." "I'll get it." "You're back." "That's all that matters." "I was in a foul mood most of the time!" "Not because I wasn't happy with what we were doing but more in terms of thinking, "God, it's got to be better than the first one."" "I probably drove myself round the bend trying to literally top myself." "For whatever..." "Not entirely a Freudian slip." "The first rule of Robot Club is... you do not talk about Robot Club." "The second rule of Robot Club is... you do not talk about Rob..." "Wait." "I got that wrong." "The second rule is no smoking." "A couple of times in the second series, we maybe went a step too far and..." "Maybe an episode like The Robot Wars I Cuckoo's Nest episode - which although I really like it and it's great there's no kind of foot in reality whatsoever." "Hey-y-y!" "Hey!" "When I heard what the thing was - that it was like Robot Wars but it's underground and Fight Club type..." "I'm not a fan of Robot Wars." "I think it's stupid." "I see it and I turn it off like I turn cricket off." "I can't..." "Oh, God!" "But..." "I did kind of get into it." "You do kind of get into the animal..." "I saw the size of them." "I thought they were like Tonka toys." " They're like tanks." "You can get in 'em." " Activate!" "'Some of the real aficionados of Robot Wars were there 'with their battle boxes..." "'They were like Dungeons and Dragons-type people 'but with big robots with axes on them and guns.'" "It's quite frightening to think you've got control of that and you look like that." "All is fair in love and Robot Wars." "All I want is another shot." "I know a place." " Where?" " You know where." "What if we get damaged before the quarter finals?" "The line was..." "a sarcastic retort to Tim's line." "I just said, "Oh, yeah, I hadn't thought of that."" "It just grew and grew into a ludicrous... pantomimic versión of it, without sounding like the words any more." "I did it by increments." "When we were filming it, we did quite a few takes on it and I saw them laughing so I kept doing it." "We could jeopardise our chances next week." "Oh, ya!" "I hadn't thought of dat!" "It spiralled into a ridiculous, almost Tourette's, extreme." "This thing just came out." ""Oh, ya." "I hadn't thought of dat."" "It's ups and downs." "Like when you're travelling." "But more, more, more." "Well, not more ups and downs." "'We had a day at The Monarch and a band started rehearsing at five.'" "It was me and Jess in the alcove doing the tequila slammers." "Then it was you and Pete." "You were actually trying to..." "Between the drum beats, this doof, doof, doof..." "So, Tim, how've you been?" "I haven't seen you since..." "Yeah, no hard feelings, eh?" " You shot me in the bollocks." " Like I said, no hard feelings." " You're lucky I didn't sue." " We couldn't afford to reshoot it so we actually..." "We did some trailers for the series, the ones on the wall where Simon and Jess sit on the wall." "I think I can say this." "We hoodwinked Channel Four into paying for a day of filming and half the day was that trailer and the other half, we reshot those scenes." "Guerrilla style." "Nick Frost first AD'd." "Thanks, Channel Four!" "Cheers." "So, Tim, how've you been?" "Haven't seen you since..." "Yeah, well... no hard feelings, eh?" "You shot me in the bollocks, Tim." "We had the Spaced Out guys back again for extras, who have always been helpful to us." "We pulled it off and it worked really well." "So thank goodness for us conning Channel Four." "Hi." "Oh, God." "Hi, Sophie." "God, I forgot you were here." " Happy birthday." " Thanks." "Got anything special planned?" " We're just gonna go out for dinner." " That'll be nice." "Yeah, I mean." "You can come if you want." "Thanks." "I'd love to." "That'll be great." "I guess I was lucky because it didn't feel like a clique" " I hate cliques - and I was really welcomed." "'I think I clinched it because I could make a good gun noise.'" "And action!" "I was describing a film that I was filming at the time." "I said, "I run around with a gun and shoot people like..." ""phhcoofff!"" "And Simon just went..." "And I think that's what clinched it." "It was nice to see you again, Tim." "Well, you're nice, too..." "It was nice to see you, too." " Tim?" " Yes." " What are you doing on Friday?" " What?" "Would you like to go out for a drink with me on Friday?" "Everyone's going to hate me because everybody wants Tim and Daisy to get together and I know this." "Erm..." "But they deliberately..." "Jess and Simon had deliberately made her really nice so all these people on the website were going, "We wanna hate her" ""but she's quite cool and... we can't." They were frustrated that they couldn't." "There was the Sophie backlash but it was people saying, "But she's fabulous."" "So they didn't know what to make of her." "You hurt him, I'll kill you." "Did he mean that?" "Yeah." "I remember the day that we did the restaurant scene." "We were smearing each other with cream cakes and I thought," ""Hang on, we're getting paid to do this."" "'And having a really good laugh.'" "Tim!" " You know I'm allergic to wheat!" " Oh, fuck off." " Grow up." " You grow up." "The only gripe I have was that they said that Sophie was too cool to do the cake fight in the restaurant so they wouldn't let me." "Oh..." "What?" "!" "You know what!" "If there's a bit I could watch again and again, it would be the second shoot-out in the alley in Camden." "The John Woo finger sequence is probably my proudest moment in a way." "I'd wanted to do that for years." "I'd always tried to put it into my stand-up about... men having unspoken communication in respect of slow-motion gunfighting." "Know each other or not, put them together - always the same." " What do you mean?" " Shall we show him?" "Mike, I really am not in the..." "Oh, shit." "But I never could tell the story properly and Jess and I had written an episode for the second series that just wasn't very good." "It was a sort of girls and boys night out kind of thing and it was a bit like..." "It wasn't going anywhere and it didn't say anything." "Edgar said to us, "This isn't good enough."" "We admitted we thought the same thing and we went next door to a café next to our office, near here in Queen's Park, and we hashed out Episode 5 in half an hour." "And it just came out of us like... a big tide." "I think it's one of the best episodes we ever wrote." "It was suddenly, "We can do the gunfighting and have that as the climax."" "The slow-motion fight is genius." "I hadn't done it since I was about eight but it's what you did with your friends and re-enact all that stuff." "The fact they did it when they got into trouble was brilliant." "'That's like, how can it get much better, particularly for me?" "'" "I thought that was just..." "I was so thrilled that I was doing that, cos it's like, you know..." "You know, when would I..." "And it was totally unremarked." "I thought someone would go," ""She can't..." "She obviously can't do this..."" "And I was just getting there closer and closer." "And it was kind of like I was a little podgy seven-year-old again... you know, in my monkey boots and my short hair." ""I'm playing with the boys!"" "It was, you know, truly a great moment for me." "Well... this is of course the... the alleyway where we inspired a thousand jean commercials." "This is the alleyway where we had the big gunfight with the gang." "I remember you had..." "I remember..." " you had a bad slip." " Did I?" "You were tough as nails." "Everybody went, "Oh, my God."" "You went, "I'm fine."" " But you did a nasty slip." " A bad slip." " Cos this was also, like..." " Do you remember Noodles?" "Like that?" " 'Yeah, doing this thing over his head.' - 'So good.'" "I loved it when you did Warren Oates in The Wild Bunch with a machinegun." "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "I actually spun round on the floor." "I go like this, "I've got a machinegun in my backpack."" "The Gatling gun, yeah." "And then when you get shot, you just go..." "I get the death rictus." " 'And then..." "like that.' - 'The Dance of Death.'" " You did..." " I'm sort of sitting down and go..." ""No!"" "Oh, the fun we had." "The guy who plays the minicab driver who pulls up, his stage name was Johnny Orlando." " 'That's right!" "' - 'He was a singer.'" " Yes!" " He was a singer." "I remember one of the kids didn't really want to get his trousers dirty." "They were moleskin." "They were Maus and Hoffmann" "Yeah, he had ginger hair and he kind of..." "He didn't want to get his trousers too dirty." "He'd go, "Aahh..."" "Also, just over there, on the far..." "by that green kind of door there, is where..." "Lee Ingleby and Noodle do their line about the catering student." "'He goes, "How do you know?" "I'm a catering' student."'" "Probably one of my favourite auditions is when me and the second AD had to audition the kids." "Obviously, we had more kids come in than the five and all we said was, "Have you seen any John Woo films?" ""We're gonna act one out." It was so funny, these kids going..." "Some were really into it and some were walking out." "In reception, they were going..." " "Oh, my God." "What is that?" - "What are these guys?" "They're crazy."" "Say hello to my little friend." "They said they needed someone who was an expert in martial arts." "I thought that meant standing at the side of a muddy speedway in a puffer jacket and a baseball cap, telling people to "Get back!"" "And it turned out to be a different kind of martial arts." "I misunderstood." "It was martial arts as in fighting." "So I had to be, with the lovely Mark Gatiss," "I had to be a sort of..." "Matrix-type agent fella, who was on the trail of somebody or other in a sinister manner." "It was when the Matrix was cool." "Now, just a few years on..." "Thank God we did it when it was right rather than now." "'I'd always fancied myself doing a martial arts scene.'" "You'll notice there's very little of us doing a kung fu thing." "They edited it up." "We did some fantastic moves." "No, we didn't." "They made a virtue of the fact that we were rubbish." "If you get a camera, sort of, two feet beneath you and then you go..." "You look fantastic." "Enough cuts, you look a genius." "Televisión and film are always a dirty, filthy lie." "It's a lie!" "When Edgar and Simon asked me to do it, it was like..." "If they'd asked me to do a tango, I couldn't be more afraid cos I-I'm..." "I'll use the word." "I'm dyspraxic about..." "I have a kind of..." "dyslexia about movement." "At least I try to convince myself that's why I was so shit at dance or movement." "I'm just terrible." "I've no co-ordination." "I have nine left feet." "The idea of some kind of, you know... quite well co-ordinated kung fu move filled me with horror." "But I felt, "If I've got to do this, I can't just say I can't do it."" "When it came to it, it kind of just came together and there were a couple of actual, stand-by..." "I know this sounds like the sort of story you tell 30 years later, but it's true." "There were a couple of stand-by kung fu people to do the complicated bits and they didn't use them." "And we got a round of applause from the stunt crew." "For me, that was really one of the happiest days of my life because I'd managed to pull this off." "It's such a pleasure when you all get on well." "It's not like work." "And Edgar's a great director as well, so... it was just a laugh." "Really nice." "Everyone involved was pleasant and the catering was quite nice too." "Edgar and I have an understanding." "We actually had a code to deceive our first assistant director, Jim Imber, who was very... good about health and safety and really cautious." "He hated the idea of anyone getting hurt." " Goggles down, Peter." " Oh, God, OK!" "Pete, goggles." "Goggles." "'But sometimes, you have to push the envelope.'" "We'd go under Jim's radar. "I'm going to do this properly this time," to Edgar." "And Edgar..." "When I dived over the boxes in Episode 4, Series 2" "I missed the crash mat, just... overshot slightly and my legs hit the concrete, bang on my heels and locked my knees." "So the next day, running around inside the building I was in agony." "I don't know about you guys but I feel like I was powered along by my naivety cos I didn't really know, in terms of not knowing what's possible..." "It's kind of more like knowing..." "Not knowing kind of like that it's impossible." "Take two." " Look at them." " Try it one more time." "Shoot in just a tiny bit, yeah?" "Take three." "Guys, if you all look sort of just ahead..." "Take four." "And we're still all looking at Drew?" "Take five." " Look at them." " Sorry." "Nick, can you just jump in a bit?" "Take six." "'There were days when we would fall behind.'" "We'd be 10, 12 shots behind, with no pick-up time and we would just be thinking, "This is not gonna get made, this show."" "Take seven." " Are you sure we're not losing Simon?" " Take eight." "Shit." "Shit." "Take nine." "Ah, fuck." "I thought we could see her." "Hang on, the polly's fallen." " No, no, it's shit." " Fuck." "Take ten." " Look at them." " Cut." "Every single scrap of money and time was used." "I mean, nothing was wasted, so it was intensive, shooting, particularly for Edgar, who was there all the time." "But, you know, at that point, you just want to get it done and get it great." "When you're working with so many people who... either as performers and as writers and as directors, who want it to be as brilliant as it can be, that's exhausting because everyone has exacting standards." "We all had exacting standards." "Nobody was going..." "It was just, "Get it right."" "Edgar "Let's Get It!" Wright." "Well, I..." "I dunno..." "I think he's er..." "Yes, obsessive maybe." "Compulsive to the point of utter insanity but then, you know, he's a perfectionist like many of us and I respect that in an artist." "And also he has a beard." "We always gave our twopenn'orth to Edgar when he least needed it but that's what it was like." "We all really cared about it." "Edgar's notorious for wanting like, you know, for getting, like, 12 or 13 takes of, you know, just a single shot and, you know..." "But that's why he's so good, because of that attention to detail." "Edgar works so hard that you can't..." "You can't come in and say you're tired because you know that after a 14-hour day, he's gone to the edit for two hours and then he's got up at 4am to write shot lists, so you can't say, "I'm a bit tired."" "A friend of mine has an ambition to form a production company called Will That Do?" "That's a very British sort of thing." "Weirdly, though, the other British thing is people always..." "They hate that because if you really care and you appear to have ambition and to try to stretch yourself and do things you see nowhere else then you are as attacked for trying as you would be if you didn't bother." "On the first series, there was one day that was called Black Monday but on the second series, there was Black Tuesday, Black Saturday..." " Black Wednesday." " There was like a black week." "Black fortnight." "There was one day when we were filming here that was so complicated that when lunch was called, I walked down the road and didn't come back." "I rang Nira and said, "You'll have to get another director cos I'm gonna die."" "She had to come and find me." "I'd walked about half a mile and I was just kind of..." "I was just having, like, a complete meltdown." "When I came back, the crew were all very nice to me for the rest of the day, going, "Are you all right?"" "In terms of the homaging and spoofing," "I mean..." "Obviously there's..." "It's weird, because they are homages and skits on things but I think the central joke was Spaced." "The reason that I think it kind of has a charm to it is, kind of, the point of it is not "Hey, let's do a five-minute riff on The Matrix"." "It's..." "It's the fact that the characters are so... their lives are so governed by pop culture and media that they can only think in those terms." "So if somebody's having a break-up with their girlfriend they imagine to have the same, crushing kind of like... feeling as the ending of Empire Strikes Back." "If you don't get it, it's not important." "What is important is that... if you do get it, you feel like you've... been spoken to on a subtextual level." "It's very gratifying." "Aaaagh!" "Aaaagh!" "Jeremy!" "You see something and go, "I recognise that from..." ""I recognise that from Star Wars." "I recognise that from Robot Wars."" "That's the beauty of it." "Nothing else out there has such a high profile - such a good-quality programme that is funny - where you can look at it and go, "Yeah, that means something to me."" "Boys like to spot The Matrix references and my granny doesn't get any of it but she still loves it, so you can take it on any level." "You don't have to realise that the other half of the Robot Wars one was One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest." "You'd think, "That's clever", the idea of it being an institution with a Nurse Ratchet." "You'd enjoy it and take on board the clever things that are being homaged as Simon and Edgar's and Jessica's visión." "You'd think, "They're clever to devise that"" "not realising they nicked it all from films, like what we do." "A lot of the fans of Spaced are very much, sort of..." "I hate to use the word "internet geeks" but I will." "I suppose every geek had a character to identify with." ""Enthusiast" is a better word." "Is a geek the same as a dweeb?" "It creeps up on you really." "You sort of think "Oh, I'm not one of these..." ""these..." ""these repto sci-fi geeks." "No, not at all." "That's not me."" "And then I realise I can quote huge sections from any science fiction film and actually then spin off huge bits of dialogue in my show." "Then I think, "Maybe I am." "Maybe I have to face up to that."" "We should reclaim the word "geek", like they did with "queer"." "I think it's fine." "I'm proud to be a geek." "I think we're all geeks." "Yeah..." "You can get girl geeks as well." "I don't know if you know that." "I wonder whether Simon thinks... that Tim is a geek." "He's quite attractive, isn't he?" "He's a bit too, sort of, smooth to be a geek." "But I think what makes him a geek is his nihilistic, slightly depressive qualities." "I think that saves him from not being a geek." "The Phantom Menace was 18 months ago, Tim!" "I know, Bilbo." "It just still hurts!" "That kid wanted a Jar Jar doll." " Kids like Jar Jar!" " Why?" "!" "There's a huge part of American culture - the people kind of aged 25 to early 30s - that this is exactly how they live." "They have roommates." "There's a theory in America that we're a nation of children, that nobody's grown up, that we weren't the generation that went to war." "There's an expressión that 40 is the new 30 and that people don't act like adults until they're 40." "The way that Tim and Daisy live, the way they are, everything they say is so in tune and in touch with the way that a lot of Americans - you know, kind of 27, 28, 29 years old - are." "I was nowhere near as heartbroken as Tim about the decline of Star Wars but I certainly was very disappointed in it and that was a great way for me to express in the extreme." "It was like primal scream therapy." "I could have this character be utterly petulant and throw his toys out of the pram." "You so do not understand!" "You weren't there at the beginning!" "You don't know how good it was." "This is it for you!" "This jumped-up, firework display of a toy advert." "People like you make me sick!" "Simon Pegg" " Tim's generation - will be disappointed in Phantom Menace because they saw the first Star Wars whereas the younger audience - under 20s - will not have seen Star Wars when it first came out." "The fuss about Phantom Menace has been awful." "It just goes..." "Every time that I ever see any of these sitcoms on televisión over here in the United States, they're always about yuppies that sort of exist in a world that..." "I don't really associate with but somehow... there's something odd about these geeks." "They're always surrounded by all this goofy memorabilia and crazy props and..." "I just think..." "God, how pathetic it would have to be to be like them." "We had an official website on Channel Four but Nick Lee, who started the Spaced Out site, his website became so comprehensive that we closed the official one and made the unofficial one official." "You've got a very loyal fan base with Spaced." "You've got a lot of people who are very enthusiastic." "They genuinely love the series." "'They will watch it again and again and again 'and get that same thrill and enjoyment out of it each time they watch." "'You might find something new and delight in that.'" "You have got people..." "People enjoy sitting there and going" ""There's a mistake." "They did this worse than the other bit."" "I think that's part of the... the geek fan thing and I don't mean that in a derogatory fashion." "People like the luxury of discussing this thing with fellow-minded people and make judgments like that and criticise it constructively." "People go into a lot of depth." "They do." "Spaced is very important to a lot of people and they talk about it quite..." "in enormous detail." "I'm a complete Spaced fan now although at the time I didn't have a clue what I was doing." "I just turned up and did something and when it was cut" "I realised what I was meant to be doing but it was too late then." "The amount of goodwill that this programme's generated..." "Even for me, as a small character in it, quite cultish that Tyres was, you know, when I'm doing stand-up, around the country and the world, people are coming up to me." "I've been in Dunedin, in the very south of South Island of New Zealand and a bloke's gone, "Spaced, man." "Tyres." "You were great." "Could you sign this?"" "Someone came up the other day and... from about three o'clock, they came... and snuck up and went, "Hello, Brian" and then ran off" "which is really... kind of cute." "I thought..." "Then I chased after them and stabbed them repeatedly with a penknife I had." "They're not gonna do that again." "The huge kudos it's given me as well, you know." "I came here, to this venue, to a Spaced convention with a load of women dressed like Marsha in Lycra and stuff." "'I mean, wanting to meet Marsha." "I felt such a fraud, you know.'" "At least if you're meeting Simon and Jess, you're sort meeting the characters." "So I didn't know what to do." "I was... a bit confused by that." "583, 583, 583, 583, 583, 583... 583, 583, 583..." "That way." "New gate." "We can't be in the wrong place because this gate isn't the same." " They've changed it." " Nick Frost broke it." " He jumped over the gate." " He had to do a kind of flip-over." "He pulled it off its hinges and it came out of the stone and everything." "Oh, fuck!" "The gate is seriously fucked." "We're at the house, by the way." "The house where they lived." "Tim and Daisy's house." "Number 23, Meteor Street." "Which was found by our location manager, Sarah Lee." "She took a load of Polaroids of places in..." "And we picked it because it's got a faintly spooky house kind of feel to it." " It's got a touch of Amityville." " It's beautiful and unusual." "It is possibly one of the most desirable residences in North London." "Maybe the biggest joke in the whole series was the idea that you could rent it for £90 a week!" "Let's pop along the garden path, shall we?" "Shall we mosey up the path?" " Crazy." " This is where we filmed..." "This is Daisy's house." "This was Daisy's squat that she was moving out of." " Into the flat." " So it was just used as a sort of like..." "Edgar's cameoed in that." "I was here on the chair" " and Andy Hollis was there." " And the shot was right low down there." "It had Andy Hollis facing out that way." "I came in and..." "'That's the bit where you were.'" "You put lots of, like, stuff over there to hide these beautiful cupboards." "But also, really, like the colour scheme of the hall... we actually took this colour scheme to the studio." "This here is the same kind of colour that was in kind of the flat." "This looked like part of the set." " There are two Spaced fans outside." " Are there?" " Let's pretend that we live here." " Yeah, it'll freak 'em out!" "Hello." "I don't think they realise..." " Are they taking pictures?" " I don't know." "I'm not sure." "Excuse me..." "Do you mind if I take a photograph?" " Are you taking pictures of our house?" " Sorry?" " Are you taking pictures of our house?" " Do you mind?" "You've come on the one day of the year when Tim and Daisy are in." "We were worried the people inside would tell us off for taking pictures." "Everyone's so polite that they don't mind." "And so well behaved." "And nice." "Of course they don't mind." " We're really embarrassed now, so..." " No, don't be." "And another one." "And look at me." "You seem to have struck paydirt." "You get paid out there?" "We organised this a few weeks ago, on the off chance to both get together and see the house." "At the time it was shown, the characters were the same ages as us." "It struck a chord." "It was before The Office came out and..." "It just hit a point." "Lots of references to other films, very our generation." "It covered the slacker mood at the time that my life was in then, so..." "They just seemed to hit on a point." "While Friends was on American TV, there was..." "Tim and Daisy and their bubbling romance, as well as just being friends." "It kind of worked - all the side characters that came in." "The editing and camerawork really sold it to me." "It was very different from anything else that was on telly." "Is there anything that you would have done differently?" "No, I don't think so." "Maybe another series." "We've had sort of various discussions about this and stuff in terms of..." "It's a strange one because I think the end of the second series kind of like crystallises a moment in time." "And one of the kind of the problems about maybe... doing or not doing a third one or doing a special is the kind of..." "Do you want to..." "Do you want to see these characters get older?" "All 14 episodes are marvellous little gems." "You think it would have been difficult to carry on that level of invention and wit but, having said that, I totally feel they could have done a third series and I'm sure, you know, if they'd had the time... and effort, I'm sure they would have made seven more fantastic episodes." "I still hold out hope that they will." "The website was a very keen advocate of a third series." "Put it that way." "The whole fan base really wants a third series and a lot of people can see the potential for a third series." "There's no doubt that there is and there was potential but ultimately, Spaced... was something that Simon Pegg, Jessica Stevenson and Edgar Wright did a few years ago and they've moved on." "Shaun Of The Dead is a good example of that and they've got their own careers now." "It's thanks to Spaced that they are as successful as they are but to say there should be a third series is not helpful." "Most people seem to be up for it anyway." "Yeah..." "But maybe you should quit while you're ahead." "It's not for me to say." "And if the excitement isn't there, then maybe it probably is best to leave it." "I dunno." "Is there a third series?" "I think..." "I'd like to see one now." "I'd like to see what they're all doing." "Since the second series, I'm always reading things, saying" ""Please, when's the third series coming?"" "And Simon often having to say, "We'd love to do one or a special" ""but we can't get it together." "We're doing the film, whatever..."" "It really fascinates me, that." "It's almost like being without honour at the time because there wasn't that kind of..." "It sort rolls on and on and you get a real desire then to..." "People retrospectively think it was one of Channel Four's best programmes in the past ten years." "It's not that we haven't wanted to do it." "It's just we kind of... the iron went cold slightly and if we do another one, any more Spaced, it will be about them now." "We won't go back to just after Series 2." "Something would have happened and we'd pick them up in their 30s." "I was watching..." "just looking at the DVDs again recently and everybody who walked past the booth that I was sitting in was like," ""Is that a new series?" "!" "Is that a new series?" "!" And the..." "The amount of people who still hold it dear to their hearts after all this time shows that there would be enormous support for one if one was to come out." "It's a question I get asked a lot." "I never know what to say because I don't want it to be over." "I don't want it to be finished." "I've got so much..." "We both have so much to give to those characters." "We have their lives planned out." "We know what happens to them, you know in 50 years' time, so it would be nice to actually continue the journey a little bit." "Well, that's that, then, innit?" " We should go." " This is where we finished." " Not finished." " Not finished!" " Finished." " Not finished." " Shall we say goodbye to Chris?" " Yes, yes." "And thank her for the use of her house?" "Do you remember this bit was where..." " When did we come into the flat?" " The end of Episode 5." " We did loads on the doorstep." " The first time you meet Marsha as well." "Leave it." "Don't be too pushy." " She's not there." " Bye." "Bye, Spaced house." "She's not in." " That's strange." " I thought she was in." "That's weird." "We should go back to our house where we all live." "What?" "Go back to our real lives?" "No, let's not!" "She's filled her nappy." "Will you change her?" " Oh, I just made tea." " I went to the shop." "I was in labour for 15 hours." "You win." " I love you." " I know." " Come on, Luke." " Tim, we're not calling her Luke." "All right!"
