well at least its funnier than ally mcbeal, callista

Something's always bothered me about Spaced. In one episode he's playing Resident Evil 2, and at the start he's right near the beginning of the game, and he's almost completed it by the end. It makes me cry.

You can't really congratulate someone for liking Spaced.
I'd be more impressed to find someone who doesn't like it.

Spaced is great, but not timeless.

Yeah, but that's what is popular at the moment, so they cashed in on it. I'm not going to fry you over it - you liked it, I didn't. Doesn't mean a thing. Just because the only thing I turned on the tele for, because I'd heard good things about, turned out to be a bit rubbish, just means that I can turn it off again and be done with it.

Actually there were two people from the Office in it. Stephen Merchant (tall guy with glasses and doctor's coat), and Garth Marenghi himself was in the Office (the IT bloke that did go-karting)!

Well done on liking Spaced though - that's timeless.

OK, I'll fight the good fight ;-)

Talking heads and arrogant main characters didn't start and finish with The Office!

ONE cameo.

But I can see it's a like it/loathe it thing, a bit like The Darkness really. Some people find it hysterically funny, others can't see anything good about it.

not as far as know? where was the review?

You've just read that in a review, haven't you?











I read the same review.

"A ladle and a fork where a fork don't fit"

In answer to your question, yes.


I like Darkplace, its quite good so far, so purposely bad its funny.

Haven't actually seen it yet, but it sounds like a good laugh. Didn't some guy get killed with a ladle in it?
