SPACED - 'The Synopsis'

SPACED is a fictitious Sit-Com centred on the adventurous lives of five twenty-something year old characters with distinctive personalities.
Tim Bisley is an aspiring comic book artist who got dumped and thrown out by his long term girlfriend whom he is absolutely smitten with.
Daisy Steiner is an aspiring writer and presenter, who though seemingly enthusiastic and energetic can sometimes have a negative attitude especially towards anything work-related.
Brian Topp is a shy, timid and pretentious artist whose personality is enigmatic and in fact much more complex as he tends to come across as a bit mental or emotionally unstable.
Marsha Klein is the oldest character amongst the group in her early fifties; she is a Land-lady who comes across as dim-witted and always sober, wallowing in self-pity a lot of the time due to previous life predicaments, a previously failed marriage and constant quarrels with her teenage daughter.
Tim, Daisy and Brian are flatmates resident in Marsha’s property.
Mike Watt is Tim's best friend who is absolutely obsessed with anything army related for reasons which are uncovered as the series progresses; a very much laid back character with a some-what childish behaviour, he pretty much lives with Tim as he is present at the flat more often than not.
Some other reoccurring characters through the series and storyline include Daisy’s dog ‘Colin’, her best-friend Twist Morgan and Richard her boyfriend who lives in Hull and is in a long-distance relationship with her. Tim’s Ex-Girlfriend Sarah who broke his heart and Amber Klein, Marsha’s extremely difficult teenage daughter, amongst others.

Tim Bisley and Daisy Steiner initially meet fortuitously while both searching for a place to live. After long periods of unsuccessful house hunts, they find themselves in a dilemma where they have to pretend to be a genuine couple in order to rent a relatively cheap flat together; a lie that sustains through most parts of the series. Marsha Klein the Land lady falls fool to their plan and accepts their request immediately after giving them a tour of the house. Undisclosed to Tim and Daisy, they awkwardly discover that Brian Topp is already a lodger at the basement floor of the house by the time they move in.

A series of thirty minute long episodes, ‘Spaced’ will follow the different characters as they go through adventurous events in their day to day lives living in an urban setting. As the story evolves throughout the series, the characters, all seemingly distinctive, uncover similar traits in their personalities that suggest they are in fact relative in terms of life experiences i.e. previous relationships and life issues.
This slapstick style programme will also implicate elements of pop-culture through-out sections of its serial innovative story-lines in order to pay homage to the current society and social state.
'Spaced' aims to create entertainment through the structure of fictional and realistic events while mocking certain ideologies and also delivering exciting twists in its tales.

  1. this was a good attempt. All the detail was there. If anything, there was too much character and story detail. It needs to flow more. so rather than a list of character details and then the story and the idea of the series, try to combine them so it flows more. You are trying to 'sell' the idea. good work though.
