The usual story of two people who find themselves having to pretend they are a 'professional couple' in order to secure a nice flat is turned into something far more surreal and entertaining when penned by Simon Pegg and Jessica Stevenson.

Daisy Steiner and Time Bisley have a certain love hate relationship and the mix of them together with their oddball friends like Mike the man obsessed with guns and the army make for some fantastic and classic TV moments.

Spaced is a sitcom with a difference. It's fresh and funny, yet reminds you of the old days when they used to make quality sitcoms all the time. A bit like Ally McBeal, there are strange interludes in the story where a character has flashbacks or dream sequences. Most notable is the episode where Tim plays far too much Resident Evil 2 while spaced out on drugs and ends up thinking everyone around him is a zombie, which goes down really well at an art party that Daisy and Tim attend! It really is weird and much more entertaining than the usual run of the mill sitcoms.

Channel 4 are willing to take risks and this one has really paid off, now in its second series, Spaced just seems to get better and better. The good news is that the whole of series 1 is now available on video and DVD, the DVD having loads of deleted scenes and a fantastic commentary from the stars which adds a whole new dimension to the storyline of each episode.

Watch Spaced on TV this week and then tell me you don't like it, I'm sure that before long you'll be queing up to buy the DVD!
