A little backstory: A couple of years ago, Fox announced that it was going to make a US version of Channel 4’s cult Simon Pegg/Edgar Wright/Jessica Hynes comedy Spaced. Pegg, Wright and Hynes were reported to be less than happy, and then a few months later Fox had second thoughts and dropped the idea after the pilot episode was universally panned… And a good job, too, judging from these clips that have just emerged.
