Review by Carissa Thorp
Years ago, I happened upon a great little show, buried in the late night programming on the ABC. That show was Spaced and I was an immediate fan. Full of pop and geek culture references, quirky characters of my own age and inclinations (mostly), and skilled and exciting film-making, Spaced was an unexpected gem. It apparently finished after only one season, but returned after a year for a second season, which I was never able to catch on Australian TV. For years I waited to see the last season of Spaced, and bought the DVD set as soon as it came out in Australia, and it didn't disappoint. The lead actors have gone on to other things; readers will especially know Simon Pegg, who played the male lead, because he plays Scotty in the new Star Trek, but also from films such as Sean of the Dead, and Hot Fuzz, made with his friends and fellow Spaced alumni, actor Nick Frost, and director Edgar Wright. Grab a copy of Spaced if you can; I'm sure you'll enjoy it. It's worth it just for the play-shootout in the Season Two episode Gone. -
