The synopsis for Spaced.

We have been asked to write a synopsis for Spaced in 300 to 500 words. I wont say this was easy, because it wasn't. I managed to write 313 words.


Not your typical boy meets girl story, Spaced is about the adventurous lives of Tim and Daisy who live in a shabby building in London. It starts with Tim and Daisy meeting in a café, where they form a friendship. Daisy a deluded graduate who has been living in a squat is flat hunting, and the aspiring comic book artist Tim who has been recently dumped by his girlfriend is also looking for somewhere to live .After realising they need each other they move into Marsha’s (the land lady) room under the pretence of being a couple.

Living in the building is Brian a tortured artist with a split personality, who isn’t in touch with reality very often and is dating a rather ditzy girl by the name of Twist who believes she works in fashion but in actual fact works in a launderette.

Tim and Daisy together with Tim’s T.A crazy friend Mike who is a trigger happy fantasist go on a variety of fast paced comical adventures, whilst still trying to keep secret about their fake romance from the prying eyes and ears of the alcoholic land lady Marsha.

This is a fast paced comedy set locally with lots of pop culture references and action scenes with the occasional dose of animation and a contemporary sound track, with the characters growing emotionally and each episode being self contained it is easy but enjoyable viewing for the audience, keeping them interested and allowing them to become familiar with the characters.

With multiple story arcs and non linear, fast editing, jump cuts and unusual camera angles this makes for great viewing as well as making you aware of watching it. Slightly abstract but hilarious British comedy this is a series about modern day relationships, surviving the rat race and realising your head full of dreams is sometimes just a head full of dreams.
