Tim Bisley (Simon Pegg) and Daisy Steiner (Jessica Hynes) are just platonic friends in desperate need for a place to stay. They pretend to be together to rent a couples-only room. It's a 20something show with Nick Frost as Tim's best friend Mike Watt. There's a lot edge to it. Tim and Daisy are both geeks. She's a frustrated writer, and he works at a comic book store. It's a great alternative slacker sitcom chalk full of pop references. The second series is better, and more well written. The first one is a little bit uneven. But more than anything, it gave us two important things. First, it gave us Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Second, it gave us Burning Star Wars Paraphernalia for The Phantom Menace. For that, they should have gotten a Nobel Prize.
