An absolutely fantastic comedy show that originally ran on Channel 4 for two series in 1999 and 2001.
It starred Simon Pegg, Jessica Stevenson, Nick Frost, Julia Deakin, Mark Heap and Katy Carmichael as a group of friends living in a flat perched on the edge of reality.
The show is heavily based around popular culture, with references to Pulp Fiction, the Tomb Raider games and Star Wars, amongst others, playing crucial parts in plotlines.
Not many people have heard of it, although it is a very quotable show.
Spaced is the show which launched 1000 quotes:
"Skip to the end!"
"Cock locked, and ready to rock!"
"Timmy? fetch me my tools..."
"You Lando!"
And so on...
