Spaced is a fast-paced comedy about two twenty-somethings, Tim and Daisy and their misfit friends. Tim is an aspiring comic book artist who has just been dumped and therefore has to move out of his now ex-girlfriend’s house, he soon finds solace in Daisy, a quirky and highly-emotional squatter who wishes to be a journalist but has yet to find the means and motivation to do it. They decide to move into a flat together but first they have to convince the landlady Marsha (an emotionally scarred, self-obsessed alcoholic) that they are an item even though they have only just met. This pretence leads them into many difficult yet funny situations which they are able to escape with the use of Tim’s child-like manner and Daisy’s self deluded behaviour.
It is full of pop culture references and dry humour that is not only supplied by Tim and Daisy but by Brian, an off-the-wall anguished artist who lives in the flat below them, Mike, Tim’s best friend who is a G.I. Joe wannabe and whose idiotic and random ways makes him one very unlucky individual, and Twist, Brian’s girlfriend who is clumsy, ditzy and most of the time in a world of her own... spaced out.
Spaced is set in urban northwest London and based mainly around Tim and Daisy’s flat. The interior of the flat is quite shabby and cluttered with little personal space, portraying how unfortunate Tim and Daisy are, with this and the use of contemporary music the audience can find it easy to relate to the characters.
Each episode has a separate story but sometimes these stories are non-linear thus keeping the audience on their toes and interested, waiting to see the outcome of our characters’ actions or discovering how they got into the difficult situation in the first placed.
Hi Fran,
ReplyDeleteFirstly - could you change the font for your entries - it makes my eyes hurt!
Your Spaced synopsis is a really great effort. Well written, pretty much through out and sells the story and idea very clearly and with a lot of energy. You remember to sell the idea which is key and you make it interesting to read. All great. The ending loses its belief and style a little. Don't talk about the audience, just tell us what's what and the reader will work out what the audience will like and relate to. This is not a review remember. The flat descriptions and story-line mentions are a little flat compared to the rest. But overall, really great and I feel confident you will be able to deliver on the Meeting synopsis. Thanks, Simon
