Pretty sure the character of Tyres is Northern Irish as opposed to Scottish.

Tyres, the courier cyclist is Irish not Scottish in this series. He is played by Northern Irish actor Michael Smiley who has been in many different series and movies. Interestingly he appears in Shaun of the Dead as a zombie version of this character, though the role was uncredited.

OK, even I'm not sure if Sophie's his ex that we've seen or an older ex. The hair, smile, her whole demeaner is like Clark vs Superman, if it is the same actress and character.

He kind of looked like a young Gerald, I think, smiling at 1:43.

The netball story is based on a huge kids show over here called grange hill. Ran for about 25 years. That comic strip and music was the opening credits/theme tune

Ah you're alright KB! I can't speak on behalf of the Scots or Northern Irish, but they're a thick skinned bunch with a great sense of humour, so it takes a lot to piss them off!

Uh oh I fucked up again my bad. I remember when I said Rhod Gilbert was Scottish and the Welsh gave me hell for that for weeks lol. But being how awesome they are they were quick to forgive. Honestly this time I’m really ashamed because after almost 3 years of reactions I thought I would learn at least the main accents by now.

The fake 'Henry Krinkle/Hopper Avenue' details that Tyres gives to the security guard are the same ones DeNiro gives to the secret service in Taxi Driver.

Barely though, series 1 was 99, series 2 was early 2001

Scene with the angry cyclist is a really great one because obviously it is a reference to the in-car "I see dead people" scene from The Sixth Sense film but additionally the angry cyclist is Olivia Williams, i.e. Bruce Willis' wife in the film so it is all very meta 😎

Bless you for sticking with Spaced, as it doesn't feel like it's entirely your thing (which is understandable). However, I really think you're going to like the next episode.

I heard that and thought "ooh KB has opened up a can of worms there!" Remember folks, he's just a muppet in a chair.
