spaced

Spaced (from the same people who brought you Shaun of the Dead and Hott Fuzz) starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Simon (Tim on the show) and Jessica Hynes (Daisy on the show and whom you may have seen in Shaun of the Dead or in a 2 part Dr. Who episode) Pose as a couple to rent an affordable flat. Crazy drunken landlady, tortured artist neighbor, Daisy's fashion loving club going best friend, and Tim's best friend gun enthusiast and member of the territorial army complete the ensemble.


British telly is some of the funniest out there. Agree? I'm not saying that I don't find some non-british shows quite funny (Family guy, The Simpsons, America's Next Top Model), but it is a totally different kind of funny. Plus in addition to laughing my ass off I can get quite caught up in the story line as well. Drama mixed with comedy is a GOOD thing (see The Office ...BBC). So today is not about me being funny. It is about the show being halarious. It might be hard to find but try downloading, searching for clips online and sometimes airing on Bravo.
