Spaced, The 10 Year Anniversary Post!
It was 10 years ago, this very evening.
Sandwiched somewhat amusingly between Friends and Frasier, was the first episode of SPACED on C4.
Am very touched by the various articles that have been printed and posted today.

“You lucky people. Oi oi”
I believe I heard Simon say that they might publish all the Spaced scripts for the 10th year anniversary. Is that still going to happen?
Happy birthday Spaced! All your antipodean fans still think you’re the fuckest uppest.
Spaced remains my favourite show of all time.
I love it with all my heart.
Thanks and much love to you Edgar and all the others who made the show.
Not to mention all the lovely folks I’ve met through my love of Spaced.
You all rule!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPACED!!

Wowza, it sayz on your twitter your considering a spaced 3? Please do, id follow it religously. Loved both your movies your my favourite director, i love your edititng style wth all your fancy cuts!
Anyway nice work spaced is epic, my favourite part is when nick is coughing up paintball blood and then it cuts to simon saying you know i really enjoyed it today
I was also at the BFI that wonderful day almost two years ago. I was actually the person who asked the final question of the Q&A, though my audio was cut (woe, etc.).
It really was the most blissful day ever - watching back-to-back episodes of Spaced in a room full of fellow nerds and the people who created it in the first place. I remember after the opening scene of S1E1, when ‘Spaced’ flashed up on the screen, Simon shouting ‘It’s brilliant, isn’t it!’
(and, of course, the pre-emptive excitement before the immortal Jaffa Cake line, and the whole auditorium applauding after it had been spoken).
Spaced was, and continues to be, bloody brilliant. Thanks, Edgar - for the show, and this post
Spaced really was the greatest TV show of the 90’s, and I’m still to see anything better than it in the last ten years. Genius.
Thanks for this. Thank you for Spaced. Would the last 10 years of our lives have made any sense without it? I will never give up hope for the fabled third series!!
Happy Birthday Spaced!
This was one of the best days ever. I remember i paid to become a BFI member for the year just to make sure i got tickets. Worth every penny. Thanks for putting the links up Ed.
Thanks for that…..Good stuff.
I can’t even imagine what must be going through your head. I’d wager a guess that it’s equal parts pride of accomplishment and “Holy shit, it’s been ten years? TEN?”, yeah?
Also, it’s the 250th anniversary of Guinness. I guess I know what I’ll be drinking and watching tonight.
You’ve edited it to make me look like the insane one. Ta for that.
congratulations
it’s a great show…i got my supervisor into watching it and she liked it. Hey Mikey, she like’s it!
Great articles!
You,and Simon,Jess,Nick and the rest of the cast should be very proud!!
Much Love to you all!!
i was there! an amazing day!
