Spaced: Complete Series 2
On the DVD: There's a chaotic but highly enthusiastic commentary from the director and cast, including of course Simon Pegg and Jessica Stevenson, who also talk about some deleted scenes and why they were removed. There's an outtakes blooper reel, as well as a selection of raw location footage and a self-explanatory clip, "Daisy Does Elvis". The most useful feature, though, is the subtitle "Homage-o-Meter" facility, which displays all the movie references throughout the series. --Mark Walker Commentary Subtitles: English for the Hard-of-Hearing; Homage-O-Meter

The second series of Spaced finds the gang at 23 Meteor Street a little older, but definitely none the wiser. Tim's career is hampered by severe hang-ups over The Phantom Menace. Daisy's career is just plain non-existent. There is still a spark of sexual tension between them, but it's overshadowed by Brian and Twist getting it on. Propelling the seven-episode series arc is the threat of Marsha discovering that none of the relationships are what they seem, Mike's increasing jealousy and a new love interest for Tim. That's the basis for a never-ending stream of in-jokes and references that easily match the quality of the first series. Tim has a Return of the Jedi flashback, then déjà vu in reliving the end of The Empire Strikes Back. There are spoofs of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Robocop, The Sixth Sense and comedy rival The Royle Family. There are guest spots from Bill Bailey, Peter (voice of Darth Maul) Serafinowicz and The League of Gentlemen's Mark Gatiss and Reece Shearsmith. Every episode is packed with highlights, but this series' guaranteed geek pant-wetting moments have to be the mock gun battles, slagging off Babylon 5 and learning that "The second rule of Robot Club is: no smoking." Jessica Stevenson won a British Comedy Award for this year. It deserved a whole lot more.--Paul Tonks

Spaced - notice the little things
Review date: 2004-07-01 Rating: 10 out of 10
A thoroughly brilliant second series of Spaced packed full of obvious and subtly genius. Robot club episode was fabulous, did anyone notice the school playground noise played when the boys left robot club? Absolutely hilarious! Never dissapoints, can be watched over and over and over again.
Why the hell is this not on American TV anywhere?

In reading about "Shawn of the Dead", I learned that the creative team behind the film had this show called "Spaced". Thanks to the miracle of Region Free DVD players, I ordered both seasons of "Spaced" and have to say that I have not laughed as much since watching other British shows that have been totally butchered in their remaking on American TV. Simon Pegg and the entire cast handle their characters with both honesty and a little over the top-ness that totally works and is never not funny or truthful. As a Jersey City, NJ native who grew up on Benny Hill and Dr. Who, and loved "Hawk the Slayer", and still does, I wish this show would end up here so others would be exposed to it. Now I'm hoping that "Shawn of the Dead" will be here in theaters before 2005. Awesome, awesome shows and highly recommended.
Another great series.

Unlike most other reviewers, I didn't think this second series was as good as the first (still brilliant though), possibly because it wasn't as original seond time around.
Again it's very surreal at times with the same great characters. My favourites are still troubled artist cum serial killer possibility Brian & Army obsessed, gun toting wannabe/tank stealer Mike.
Again, like in the first series, you should be able to get something out of this as most episodes parody famous movies or tv shows to hilarious effect & just how perfect is Robot Wars for military minded Mike? Genius.
Back for more, Eh?!

There are no two ways about it - this is another fantastic series of a fantastic programme.
If you brought the first series then you HAVE to get this.
Again, superb writing and direction, along with a fantastic selection of extras, put this dvd high above many other "comedy" programmes.
If you have never seen this before - you have no idea what a fantastic thing you are missing out on.
