Simon Pegg: 100%

This is one of those programmes where you just want to hug the TV in sheer enjoyment. Two flathunters in North London decide to team up and pretend to be a couple a la Green Card in order to nab a fab pad. However Daisy and Tim are no ordinary sitcom beings, and neither is the mad world they inhabit.

Their acquaintances include an army-obsessed Tank Boy, Brian the artist who works in "pain, despair, terror" - "so not watercolours then?" and Marsha, their lush of a landlady. Plotlines range from a commando raid on a freelance vivisectionist to standing in the cloakroom queue in a club.

Spaced is packed with nods and prods at contemporary culture. It's very much directed at 20-somethings and so you have the appeal of being in the know as you giggle along. Scooby Doo, Tekken, The Matrix and even the theme song to Heads and Tails - a little known kids programme from the late 70s - are seamlessly woven in, giving more of a cinematic feel rather than a plod-along sitcom.

And why have we put Simon Pegg up as a Blueshirt? Well, he's cute, funny and can be devastatingly sexy when he wants to be. Also our hearts were lost in the Vivisection Raid episode where, pounding along the corridors pretending to be a commando, he takes time out to do a little "Awww" at some sweet kittens. This boy is going to go far!

Look, Spaced just doesn't work when described in the abstract. It's kind of like one of Eddie Izzard's gigs - you have to be drawn into the alternate universe before the humour really kicks in. I promise you though, it's worth it!
