Spaced (1999) was a 14 episode Channel 4 sitcom written by and starring Jessica Stevenson and Simon Pegg, and directed by Edgar Wright.
Daisy (Stevenson) and Tim (Pegg) are two London twenty-somethings posing as a couple in order to meet the requisites of an advertisement for a cheap flat at the fictional no. 23 Meteor Street (actually Carleton Road), Tufnell Park. Tim's moustachioed best friend Mike Watt is memorably played by Nick Frost.
The series largely concerns the surreal – and highly cinematic – adventures of Tim and Daisy as they try to figure out new and largely unproductive ways of killing time, navigate affairs of the heart and attempt to come to terms with The Phantom Menace.
Rent the flat from TV series Spaced in Tufnell Park (via Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff):
But the pair strike gold when Tim notices an advert in the paper which leads them towards their dream home.
“Spacious two bedroom apartment, fully furnished, £90 a week!” Tim says incredulously, before Daisy notices that the room is for “professional couples only”, leading the pair to pretend they are in a relationship.
This scene also serves to highlight how much the property market has changed in the area, as the house is now being rented at £460 per week, over five times more than the price – albeit fictional – in the 1999 comedy.
