A great bit of silliness, courtesy of Simon Pegg, Jessica Stevenson, and all the folks that put together Spaced, the all-too-short-lived British TV series; it’s available on DVD and well worth the rental [having done so, it’s now on my “wish list” for Xmas, or at whatever point I find full time employment].

The two bits below, courtesy also of YouTube, are from Season Two (I believe it’s episode #5)… the first bit intros us to the concept of a different kind of hand-to-hand combat…

This second piece is later in the episode; I should mention though that this scene actually opens the episode – but then cuts to credits just as things ramp up – a la Pulp Fiction; we return here at the end, after the scene in the kitchen (see previous video clip), but enough time has passed that we aren’t expecting it… a pleasant (and funny) surprise that is a testament to the clever, funny, spirited writing that Stevenson and Pegg (and others) put into the series…
