Man Down.

The Thick of It, Spaced, Peep Show, Taskmaster, Here We Go, The Mighty Boosh, Nathan Barley, Black Adder, The Day Today, Alan Partridge, Black Books, The Young Ones, Ghosts, not the crummy American version, Annie Reeves and Mortimer Show, and Would I Lie to You? He also includes The Office with the caveat, even though I despise the G-Man and his disingenuous, you can't say anything in comedy anymore, lying garbage.

The G-Man, I believe, is Ricky Gervais that he's referring to there.

Thank you, Jason, for this list.

And I gotta admit, out of this list, I know about Spaced.

That was a Simon Pegg thing early on, right? I've seen a bunch of episodes of Peep Show, which I did like.

I've seen a little of The Mighty Boosh.

Aye, Peep Show's class.

Is that good? Spaced.

Aye.

You've never seen Peep Show? No.

It's good, mate.

You've never watched Spaced? Aye.

Simon Pegg? Channel 4, that was, wasn't it? Aye, that was brilliant.

Aye.

heard that a lot from people to be fair.

I loved Spaced when it came out.

I watched it way before I should have.

I didn't even understand it.

We need to talk

about this as well, don't we, for the overseas listeners.

Spaced, if you've not seen it, I mean if you have, congratulations.

It's the

came with

it it's a double-sided coin um right we made the movie with with very little budget and uh the first thing that filmmakers do when they've got no money is they head out into the woods Where no one knows what's going to happen, basically.

That's it.

You know, because the thing is, is, you know, you don't need much woods to look like a lot of woods.

These London foxes are a bit, I don't know, man.

They're quite feral.

But yeah, the fight scenes, it reminded me of playing Tekken as a kid, or it reminded me of the Edgar Wright movie, Spaced as well, actually.

I don't know if you ever watched that series.

I mean, I was still a waiter.

So I did the first season of Spaced.

I've never wanted to act.

Simon convinced me to do Spaced, so I did that.

And then I got paid.

I mean, when you look back now, it's like...

Um, he was, uh...

You know, we talked about Spaced.

Spaced, his TV series-

Mm-hmm

... that he and Edgar Wright did was a hu- uh, had a huge influence on me.

We talked about that and what a kick he got out of, you know, seeing that he was-

Hmm

... his creation, Spaced, was part of the, my creation, you know?

Mm.

And I got my copies of Spaced, and I think it might even been Scott Pilgrim signed.

Did I get Shaun of the Dead signed?

Hmm.
