http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1y1BIACRH4As you can see from youtube link & the picture of me standing outside "23 Meteor Street", I am a massive fan of SPACED. On the night of Februrary 9th 2012 I had a dream that I was watching the third series & I wrote about it the next day in my blog. For those that have seen spaced would know, there isn’t a third series. The original show only ran for two series, from 1999-2001. But in my dream this series was new and picked up on the characters lives 11 years later. I won't write the dream here as it will go on for ages but I will post it in this thread...
Anyway... My blog automatically tweets on behalf of my twitter account to tell people that I have posted...
Then lots of people tweeted me about it and retweeted me, A few people also tweeted Simon Pegg (who co wrote and starred in Spaced) about what I had written...
Skip to the end...
On March 6th, Simon Pegg tweeted this...
Coincidence? Probably!
Anyway...
My question is this?
What would happen in your third series of SPACED?

My dream started with Tim (Simon Pegg) and Mike (Nick Frost) in a pub, Tim was telling Mike how he had met up with Bilbo (Bill Bailey) the other day. Bilbo was now living with his mum since the comic book shop had gone bankrupt, but over all he is doing well and now has a shop online, much to the displeasure of his mother as her house had now become filled with Sci-Fi Memorabilia.
After the pub Tim and Mike head home, and home turns out to be in a block of flats. As they make their way slowly across the car park to the main door they are circled by a gang of youths. At first you don’t know if the guys are in danger but it turns out they are friends with Mike and Tim, and they have a fake gun fight before heading inside, commenting that they are getting too old for that sort of thing. You can tell that the flat is more Mike’s than Tim’s as there are guns and camouflage everywhere, including a massive poster of Rambo. Meeting Bilbo again has brought up memories for Tim of the past and working at the comic shop, and he tells Mike that he misses the old days and that time seemed to gone by leaving him behind. Mike says maybe he should get in touch with ‘her’ again. This doesn’t seem to go down well with Tim. He says that she is not the same person anymore and doesn’t want to talk about it. He ends the conversation by telling Mike that they are going to be late for work. He puts on a cap and the camera zooms out to show that Tim and Mike are both dressed in security guard uniforms, and the two of them head off into the night.
We cut to Daisy (Jessica Hynes), who is reading a book to a group of small children. She finishes the story and closes the book. The cover shows that the author is ‘D E Sader’. The parents and children applaud, then a smooth, dark haired Mediterranean man informs the crowd that Ms Sader will be signing books later. Daisy is now a successful children’s author, who goes by the name of D E Sader. The man who spoke to the crowd is her agent & fiancé, Paolo. You can tell that Daisy is not the sweet and innocent person she used to be. The wealth and fame has changed her, and she has lost sight of who she really is. She berates one of her fans for comparing her to J K Rowling, by saying that she is far more successful than that one hit wonder. The couple are joined by blonde 8 year old girl, who addresses Daisy as mum.
Tim and Mike receive a letter from Marsha’s daughter Amber informing them that Marsha has passed away. The gang all meet again for Marsha’s funeral. This is the first time they have all been together for 7 years. Tim keeps looking across at Daisy who is being constantly followed by press and fans. Mike says he should just go and talk to her, but Tim ignores him. At the wake, Tim finally gets a chance to talk to Daisy alone. Tim gestures across to Daisy’s daughter who is standing with Paolo, Brian & Twist and asks Daisy is she ever talks about him. Daisy shoots down Tim with a look and tells him that it isn’t the time or place to bring that up, and goes to walk away. But Tim tells Daisy that he loves her. Daisy pauses, her back to Tim. You can see that Daisy appears moved, but does not let Tim see the look on her face. Tim corrects himself to say. ‘I loved you. I loved who you were, before you turned to the dark side, before you became… D.. Darth Sader!’ by hearing these words she then turns back to Tim and tells him that the old Daisy he knew is gone, Tim says that he still knows there is good in her, and that she must also miss the days when they lived together at 23 Meteor Street. ‘That dump’ she replies. ‘I am glad that they are knocking that place down’. Tim is shocked to by the news and left standing as Daisy walks away.
The camera cuts to 23 Meteor Street which is now boarded up, it zooms into a sign which reads ‘Scheduled for demolition’.
DUN DUN DUHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
I would then imagine that the rest of the series was spent trying to save 23 Meteor Street from demolition. Marsha (Julia Deakin) would appear to Tim in a dream as a ‘Force’ ghost and give Tim advice. The series would also be filled with lots of pop references that made the original Spaced great, there would be a Field of Dreams ‘If you build it they will come’ moment, and in the final episode will see Tim rushing to stop Daisy’s wedding. Watching from the loft at the back of the church, Tim bangs on the glass window and screams, “Daisy!” several times, attempting to stop the ceremony. With some hesitation, Daisy returns a cry of “Tim!” and rushes toward Tim. Just like the end of The Graduate. The show ends with a montage of the gang and their lives today. Brian & Twist now have a child of their own, Mike is now living with Dexter, Daisy is writing a new book, and Tim has his own line of graphic novels, he also illustrates Daisy’s books. The final scene shows 23 Meteor Street. It has been restored to its former glory and is the family home, of Tim, Daisy, their daughter and a puppy called Wicket.0 -
Ok firstly, AWESOME dream, it totally sounds like a story line they could make work!
Secondly it does seem like a rather large coincidence that Simon would tweet that right after you saying about your dream for a third series, I reckon you got him mulling it over.
Thirdly if there ever was a third series I would like to see the old gang meet up again, I imagine in the years since the second series Tim and Daisy would already be together, possibly married and with a kid (like the end of the special features).I think Tim would be working on his own graphic novel (like you said) and Daisy would have a part in writing it (again like you sad
)
I think Mike would have some how either got into the army or would be (like you said) working as a bouncer, I think he would have had to move away for some reason and he would have lost touch with Tim (this would be the start of the series when they all meet up again)
I think Marsha would still be alive and she would still be fighting with Amber (who by this point has like 7 kids and has been divorced multiple times) I think Twist would be working some where very un-fashion like...say Some where like a lawyers firm and still thinking she is the dogs bo**ocks lol. I think Brian would be doing pretty well with his art career and he would even allow Vulva to show some of his/her art in his gallery I think Brian and Twist would be together in their own love hate relationship.
I would like to see Tim and Daisy living in their own place (I think sad as it is to say Colin would probably have passed away but they would have one of Colins puppies as a replacement,she would of course be called Ada)
Oh lastly Bilbo would be EXACTALLY the same and I would like to see Dwayne working for Tim...some Menial admin position would be pleasing to see
Finally, loving the picture of you at the Spaced house, I am definitely planning another trip back there again some time 0 -
