He just said nothing the entire night, he was just really, really shy. I was just worried, thinking, "This guy who's barely said a word to me is playing one of the big parts in the show. It was obvious that he was very comfortable with Simon. But he really came into his own when we started filming the first series. Frost: I don't think Edgar really wanted me to do it. I think he had said to Simon, "Do you think he can do it?
Do you trust him? I think it was a big, big gamble for them to take, really. So I think Simon lied about Nick's experience, saying he'd done stand-up when I'm pretty sure he hadn't, and so on. So there was some subterfuge there, but it was all for the greater good. Hynes: There was no let-up from the beginning until the end of the filming day.
But Edgar was so brilliant with the framing and the shots - he covered scenes in a way that was unbelievable. Pegg: Oh, the whole thing was a horror from start to finish. We didn't have trailers, we just sat on a double-decker bus and we didn't complain! I look back and think, "Oh my God, it used to be shit! Wright: I remember one day when it just got so, so complicated. To save money, we were doing the scenes for seven different episodes in one day, sometimes jumping back and forth.
It just leads to a total meltdown. He was like a little genius from the Double Deckers. He'll leave no shot unshot. He'll get everything he can out of a scene. Peter Serafinowicz [Duane Benzie]: I didn't expect the paintball episode to look as amazing as it did, because there was no precedent.
I didn't think it would look like a movie, and it did. They had so little money, it was surprising how slick it was. Frost: I thought it would be great to do a big, hammy death scene, complete with yellow blood and Simon holding me. That scene is very powerful, but when we shot it, it was very dark and we had no time, and Edgar was getting really stressed out. So it's funny to look back at it now because it looks really poignant. Smiley: Being an old raver, I just got it in my head that I was at a rave.
When I was out clubbing, I used to jolly everyone up. It was half eight in the morning and the extras were just standing around. So I just bullied them: "Come on, get up and fucking do this!
It's a club! Pegg: Completely, although we were pretending. Mind you, I've been clubbing at that time in the morning. I was a raver for ten years, so I came up with it on the spot. One of my ex-girlfriends is in that scene too, as an extra, and I can't really watch that scene without looking at her and thinking, "You broke my heart, you bitch!
Wright: The first series was more fun than the second. By the second one, I'd just split up with my long-term girlfriend and we were still working on the show together, so it became like my divorce album. But through no fault of anybody's but my own, I really beat myself up if something didn't go right; if we didn't get all the shots. I just sat there being in a bit of a black mood. And these moods increased over the second series as it became harder to make.
Hynes: The second series is a little more adventure-led; with no less character development or detail. But it's all about the caper. And that was good because we were really excited about writing capers. Wright: Doing the commentaries, we all agreed that The Matrix episode in series two was a bit too much.
Maybe that's because the Matrix sequels were terrible! Wright: I still like that episode. And the Robot Wars episode gets very silly, but I still like that. Sometimes the insane ambition of it is amusing regardless. Katy Carmichael [Twist Morgan]: I remember the food fight in series two.
We just spent an afternoon throwing cake at each other and we're like, "This is great! We're a bunch of friends plastering cake in each other's faces and getting paid for it!
It's probably my proudest moment in some ways. Pegg: It was something I was always trying to fit into my stand-up, this idea that men have this unspoken code when it comes down to slow-motion gunfights.
Jess and I had written an episode that wasn't very good. It was a separate-girls'-and-boys'-night-out kind of deal. It just wasn't going anywhere. Edgar said it wasn't good enough. We admitted we felt the same, so we went to a cafe and thrashed out episode five in half an hour.
It was one of the best episodes we ever wrote, and we finally found a home for the slow-motion gunfight. This time around, his genre subversion stems from the technical execution, as he edits set pieces to the beats of the music that the protagonist listens to on his iPod, imbuing an ingrained musical aesthetic to the action genre. Before Wright and Pegg made a splash with the Cornetto Trilogy, though, they made a name for themselves with Spaced , a zany single camera sitcom about two London twentysomethings, the aloof comic book nerd Tim Pegg and flaky freelance journalist Daisy Jessica Hynes , pretending to be a couple so they can rent a flat from alcoholic cougar Marsha Julia Deakin.
Pegg and Hynes created the show, as well as writing all 14 episodes, while Wright directed them, thus ensuring a cohesive vision across the entire series. Pegg and Hynes go around this by having Daisy throw a housewarming party. But just like any other standard pilot, we know that it will take a couple more episodes for the series to find its groove.
Wright employing a spy thriller aesthetic to Tim and Daisy rehearsing their fake couple back-story showcases his unique style early on. This prompts Mike to deliver a hilariously and uncharacteristically insightful monologue to Daisy about the nature of her relationship with Tim.
