2024-10-21 09:27:46 +0000 UTCThe second half definitely “Drug” more…. 😅 So, this episode is possibly the favourite for most people that used to watch this show at the time. Because we were out clubbing and taking ecstasy every weekend. So a lot of the references in this episode are about that. Human Traffic is a film you should watch if you want to delve into the culture of late 90’s to early 2000’s club culture in the UK. I’d absolutely love to see you react to that. It’s a million miles away from Trainspotting. Where Heroin is about getting into a morose state of euphoria and not being able to function, ultimately leading to addiction and the absolute devastation of lives, Ecstacy is a comparatively safe party drug that is all about socialising, dancing, having a good time and feeling full of love. The convo between Tim and Daisy in the club is so resonant to most of us who have sat with friends to take a break from dancing for a while in those times. These chats were generally known as “deep & meaningful’s”, and built solid friendships. The water thing with Brian, is indicative of the vibes in ecstasy clubs. In a drinkers club if you spill somebody’s drink they might well get angry with you. Rarely came across anger in this kind of club though so Brian is feeling safe and feeling the love. Mike had a shitty ass day but went out, did some ecstacy with friends and ends up leading the whole club in a dance and having the time of his life. The twitching legs at the end was not just a funny idea, it happened, regularly. Please do a Human Traffic reaction if you haven’t already 🙏🏻

2024-10-13 10:06:23 +0000 UTCAs Owen says, yes that was in season 2
Phil Robinson
2024-10-12 16:36:48 +0000 UTCIndeed. But they slightly dropped the ball here because that episode didn't have the theme music at the end, the credits were silent (just to make sure your nightmares were guaranteed). Still, what they did works for the joke they were making :)
Phil Robinson
2024-10-12 16:35:03 +0000 UTCMDMA is a helluva drug. When the most physical thing you could expect was a very tight bear hug from a complete stranger and in that moment you were the best of friends. They were good times. You can never go back though. I think they did a very good job in that whole club scene of capturing what that was like without explicitly saying what was being imbibed, including those little conversations when sat down for a bit and you and your best mate just sit there and big each other up and tell them how much you love them and then being just dragged back to the dance floor to have more fun.

2024-10-12 16:31:10 +0000 UTCThis is one of my favourite spaced episodes, I've been waiting for your reaction to this 😊

2024-10-12 10:09:40 +0000 UTCI was gonna say the Irish guy's like August Rush, forming a beat from the phone, kettle, clock etc. But then the "I just wish I could control these FOOCKIN' MOODSWINGS" sounded familiar but I can't think if it was referenced in something else or if I caught it from a meme years ago.

Joe Thornhill
2024-10-12 07:32:46 +0000 UTC(The end bit, when you are analyzing things.) Just think of it as a Drama of two people living together. Any funny parts are a bonus.
Danny Heywood
2024-10-12 02:26:45 +0000 UTCNever take MDMA. It might make you happy.

Owen Prosser
2024-10-11 22:18:42 +0000 UTCThat's season 2 I think
Owen Prosser
2024-10-11 22:16:15 +0000 UTCSpaced is (loosely) based on the experiences of Jessica Hynes, Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright (all Gen X'ers). To fully "get" this show you pretty much have to be a UK Gen X'er, otherwise a lot of jokes and situations don't hit. Series 1 especially plays on the nostalgia and UK Gen X experience, so it's understandable that you're not fully on board with it. I think you'll get on better with Series 2, which is broader in scope and doesn't necessarily rely on UK culture.

2024-10-11 21:55:45 +0000 UTCI'm hoping it's in a future episode
Sam Evans
2024-10-11 20:28:24 +0000 UTCDifferent episode
Kieran B
2024-10-11 20:10:03 +0000 UTCYeah it's loaded with references to the popular and underground culture of the day in many forms, it's why people like me who's the same age as Simon Pegg love this show so much, there's still enough there for you to enjoy it obviously but there's quite a few references which will pass you by, and more so in this show than others.

2024-10-11 20:06:01 +0000 UTCWhere was the scene where he's dancing at the traffic lights/road crossing?
Natalie
2024-10-11 19:57:55 +0000 UTCMe too. First watched it after coming home from a club!

2024-10-11 19:40:11 +0000 UTC1990’s ecstasy drug rave dance scene,
Duncan
2024-10-11 19:24:09 +0000 UTCthe punch for Brian was the counterpoint between the 80's drink/coke/speed etc drugs bit more violent and 90's more luvved up acid/pills/molly. Brian wasn't expecting a 90's molly hug.

2024-10-11 18:57:54 +0000 UTCThe world feels slightly more in-order now you recognise the A-Team choon.
emu cat
2024-10-11 18:29:35 +0000 UTCthis had full on human traffic vibes. You would love human traffic kb, set in cardiff wales, its about a group of friends who love the clubbing and extacy scene of the 90s. full on comedy, and funny as fuck.
Dave Jones
2024-10-11 18:07:42 +0000 UTCI have the entire episodes of the A-Team in a box set.
Mouse
2024-10-11 18:04:34 +0000 UTCI think one of the big pop culture references for this one was movie "Human Trafiic" (1999) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAPK6ZYq_p0

2024-10-11 17:31:30 +0000 UTCProbably my favourite episode
Kieran B
2024-10-11 17:29:16 +0000 UTCThose dance scenes are so long as it's tracking them slowly coming up then going mental, and then the very accurately done talking shit stage where you tell each your great!

2024-10-11 17:24:54 +0000 UTCParody of human traffic
Rob webber
2024-10-11 17:12:01 +0000 UTCdon't think this is referencing anything except the xtc pill dance culture from the 90's
Demceez
2024-10-11 17:09:27 +0000 UTCA lot of the episode references the UK rave/ecstacy scene of the 90s and it captures it perfectly!
