It is a mark of how time passes that the thought "Spaced series two makes me nostalgic for the turn of the century" is now odd not in itself, but that it is already plausible that I might think of it.
The shot of a Midland Mainline train on a St Pancras platform now used after the reconstruction by Eurostar, while Midland Mainline have themselves gone to the great franchised rail network in the sky, marks Spaced itself as archive television, a comedy about a time already gone. The little boy sent packing by Tim from the comic shop will now be grown up and able to fight for the reputation of Jar Jar Binks, no doubt held in great esteem by young adult Star Wars fans. Many of Daisy's fellow kitchen creatives are probably still there, ten years later, waiting for the Muses of Literature and Profit to smile on them again at the same time.
