It's my great pleasure to post a statement about the US Spaced from one Jessica Hynes (nee Stevenson), who as ever, seems to sum up it better than me and Simon ever could dare to dream.

"Spaced in America by Jessica Hynes. March 4th 2008

Things have really hotted up in the last few days – 'Simon Pegg vs Mc.G!' 'Mc.G is a fat douche bag!' 'It's a f***ing travesty!' (that's fucking). I felt a tear come to my eye when I went on PINKRAYGUN.COM, because she kind of said it for me. When someone else fights your corner and feels your injustice for you it rocks, let me tell you. So can I just say thank you for that. You know who you are. x

It might make everyone feel better to know that I am planning a counter attack; A British re-make of 'Charlies Angels' called 'Charlies Angles' – about three female architects who love to design buildings make biscuits, and wear button up cardigans. That's gonna hurt you Mc.G huh?– a remake of one of YOUR films with no titties?? Huh??! HUH!!!

Anyway I'm going to keep it short – just wanted again to reiterate that Simon, Edgar and I were not approached – at any stage or consulted in anyway. In fact I approached THEM in a very English way wondering if, you know I'd been in the garden when they called, but have been politely told that no official, meaningful involvement ( save wheeling us out to placate the fans) is possible.

So don't watch it, don't think about it – buy our D.V.D coming out in America in the summer and SAVE YOUR SOUL!!!!!"

What can I say? Daisy Steiner Wins!

Very clever of her to point out that McG's big hits are remakes of tv shows regardless of origin.
With friends like her, your enemies have no hope.

If we had any doubts that Jess is a GODDESS before, they're eradicated now!

*shakes head in disbelief*

I didn't think she could get cooler!

My soul's saved, no worries there. x

Daisy Steiner DOES win!

This is why I love you guys. It's not just a job. It's not just business. You have a genuine love for the work you do. And that's ultimately what makes it superior.

Yay, Fuck McG and his one-name-with-out-a-vowel-ness!

I really do hope that something comes out of all this backlash.

Oh yeah, and BOLLOCKS to McSpaced. And I say that as someone who honestly quite liked the Charlie's Angels movies.

I know Americans who loved the original. Most of the famous pop-culture references are US ones anyway; and those which aren't... well, we have to put up with their Gilligan's Island and Jeopardy references in every goshdarn thing anyway.

I think as revenge we should remake Seinfeld, only with Rona Cameron, and call it Rona.

I've been following the whole McSpaced saga. The one question that keeps coming to mind is...

Who exactly owns the rights to the original show?

YES, seriously after reading this I literally high-fived the screen; after knocking over my graduation photo I collected myself and started writing this comment. SPACED is something I hold close to me much like all the work of the entire crew, and the fact that McJizz is taking it away from the people who made it what it is and the fans who love it for what it is.Everyone I have shown SPACED to, was seriously quoting it after it was all done with.Now our worst fears have started to mold, it's literally the end of everything which is still pure, I would call McG a Cock, but that would be insulting cocks, I would call him a Tosser but that would be insulting a Tosser, So I am gonna call him the worst possible name you can ever call someone....McG!.

I am starting to feel like Buggin Out in "Do The Right Thing" Boycotting Sal's Famous (All respect to the crew of the 1989 classic)

BOYCOTT MCSpaced!, BOYCOTT MCSPACED!, FIGHT THE POWER!, RADIO!!!!

If a Charlie's Angles featurette somehow appears on the US DVD of Spaced, I would personally see to it that neither you, Simon, nor Jess ever felt sexually unsatisfied.

Quality, love it well said Jess short & sweet.

Does'nt half the world by now hate Mc.G so lets convert the other half now that'll fun ha ha.

No worries i will not be wasting my time watching it, & i will be checking out the region 1 dvd even though i have two versions on region 2. You can never have enough copies of Spaced.

Can't wait for Grindhouse on Saturday Edgar.

Have a good week.

McG also directed the One Week video for The Barenaked Ladies, so he is not completely hopeless. He just needs to be kidnapped and deprogrammed.

I'm so in on that one!! I don't own a cardigan but I do own some big thick sweaters and LOTS of different kinds of tea!

Jessica Hynes does rock - and the post on PINKRAYGUN.COM probably sums up how over half the females who watched Spaced felt about Daisy.

I mean seriously, the show became a cult hit because of the ever-growing fanbase and the dedication of Pegg, Hynes and Wright in treating all their fans with respect. In short, Spaced finally succeeded due to you three (and the team around you) so we aren't going to let some Hot Rod wannabe in to mashit up without even talking to you guys. The fanbase will revolt and I smell and unsigned pilot coming up.

I can almost hear the script being typed now:
"Three tomatoes walking down the street, mama tomato, papa tomato and baby tomato. Baby tomato starts lagging behind and papa tomato gets really angry and squishes him and says'....oh you know the rest.

Long live Spaced,

i would NEVER even in the slightest bit watch that show! even if i was channel surfing when it was on i would manually skip that channel. just because i live in america they think that "they" know what i think is funny. but they so dont!

and they must love the original (only) spaced and think that its fucking funny as hell or they wouldnt want to remake it in the first place. BUT COMPLETELY TEARING IT APART AND STARTING OVER??!!!??? fuck that! pick another show, because the starting show cant matter that much!

i will buy the original (only) spaced seasons when they come to america this summer, i will buy copies for every friend i know, i will buy copies for people i hate and havent seen since highschool. but i will never ever watch anything that was not done by you.

Jessica, Simon and Edgar are the class act, it's the people behind McSpaced that are the scumbags! I think it is disrespectful from all the people involved in the Original Spaced to do a completely remade without asking for their opinion that might have been insightful.

And yah for the remake of the Charlie's Angels film and please put some curvy girls in it ( and when I'm saying curvy I don't mean Jessica Alba curvy...)

Oh, I love this posse!

There's a great deal of irony I get from think whole stinking mess. I read, whilst the WGA was on strike, that they were urging, nay begging, British writers not to go to the States and take over the writing of the big hit shows over there, just in case, and God forbid, that they turn out 'too British'. A) What? and B) I beg your pardon?. Maybe it's one of those things where they take a great British institute, make it really rubbish and say they did it first in three hundred years. However, they write some good stuff over there. One of my favourite American icons was that Robin Hood guy, who came and saved the country from the evil, excessively-English Sheriff up in the Midlands (via Hadrian's Wall - also American...probably.) Knockout stuff.

;)

Unless I missed an 'official' statement, did she just let slip about an actual US release date for Spaced? That and the idea of remaking an American show sounds really good to me...really good.

As Bilbo said "I used to stick up for what I believed in, I punched someone in the face for calling Hawk the Slayer crap, but then I realised later that my dad was right..."

Edgar, in this instance Bilbo's dad isn't right - go punch that 100 shot a minute, MTV generation, T&A pimping, Uwe Boll like thief right in his nose.

Whatever happens know that your good self, the fresh Pegg and Jess created something special that captured the essence of MY culture, OUR culture and spoke to us on a level that had never been done on British television before. A month doesn't go by that I don't watch every episode back to back and after this posting this American abomination will never enter into my thoughts again.

Chin up lad Ive got some fucking jaffa cakes in my coat pocket.

I'll tell you what might raise a smile, just been browsing some Spaced boards and in reference to the "you Lando" qoute someone is asking what a Lando is..........
