As someone who has a schizophrenic, very delusional sister, I've gotta say the writing and Mark Heap's delivery absolutely nails the absurdity of their kind of talk brilliantly. That tone, where they're onto you, they know your little game, that's exactly how it is. The way Heap's character expects that Eldon's character understands his own internal logic, that Coke cans (but not Tango cans) are symbolic of marriage, in a way that to him seems incredibly obvious... It's just spot on. I've experienced a very similar talk (though relating to communication with the dead) in the past and, minus the severed finger, it was quite amazingly similar to this scene. I can see how from an outside perspective, and for myself with the benefit of many years of hindsight, this can make for some excruciatingly awkward comedy. Well played, guys! Big Train could really pull some clever stuff out of the bag and make it look simple!

Sadly my ex was an undiagnosed schizophrenic. Her dad was in an institution. She wasn’t diagnosed as she resisted all doctors and refused to go anywhere near them - fearing same fate as her dad. It got worse and worse, and I know well what you’re saying: she wouldn’t ever explain the delusions, came home one day and she had thrown out everything made of metal and I asked why and she said “you know full well why, don’t lie to me” I sadly had to make the decision to leave, I was young and I couldn’t cope with that. She lives with her mum now. I spent 3 years after the breakup bailing her out and supporting her financially. What has wracked me with guilt is my breaking up with her made her much much worse and I feel partly responsible for her descent. That is a very hard thing to deal with, but the issue is; it’s not like we were getting on. She was horrible to me a lot of the time. I’ve never managed to come to terms with the guilt of leaving her. To this day it haunts me. We were together for about 6 years. Guilt is a horrible thing.

I think. So in FND and in spaced I think he does a brilliant job as those quirky type of people, perhaps I am a beat weak when it comes to quirky people, that, that might be the reason why I love him in those roles...

Note: Films & TV shows often show their true quality by how well the 'NPCs' are played. Pegg does a great job of setting this up as a normal situation e.g. adding in that matey little "Eh, shall ah go t' bar?" cod-Yorkshireism. You don't get that from extras.

The Dread Parsnip generally I find that UK series have less filler episodes. Also they generally have only one or two writers, for which a tv show is a personal project and not some kind of contractual obligation. Which is why I think we have more innovative comedy. I guess ideas run out quickly when your writing team is small. Taking the example of the IT Crowd, I thought it was much weaker by the final series and really should have ended sooner. Spaced was wrapped up brilliantly - I feel the characters have reached their natural conclusion and there doesn’t need to be any more.

@rp1455

The Dread Parsnip Also to take the example of Only Fools and Horses, that went on for a very long time. It did what most American sitcoms do - introduce new characters and new relationships between them to keep the plot moving and provide material. In the case of Spaced, it is very contained. There are really only 6 characters. So you get more character development but not as much material.

Ultimately a big part of why British comedy is good is we let talented people move onto new stuff.
