Tim Bisley and Daisy Steiner are two London twenty-somethings who meet in a cafe while both are flat hunting, Tim having just broken up with his girlfriend, and Daisy because she is having trouble with her fellow squatters. Despite the fact that they have only just met, they agree to ry and persuade landlady Marsha Klein that they are a young professional couple, in order to meet the stipulations of an advert for a relatively cheap flat at 23 Meteor Street in Tufnell Park.
Brian Topp, an eccentric artist, also resides in the building on the ground floor, where he works on his art. Tim and Daisy are frequently visited by Brian, along with Tim's bestfriend Mike Watt, a weapons fanatic and member of the territorial army. Twist Morgan is also a regular visitor to the "couple" as she is Daisy's best friend, and also Brian's girlfriend. Tim and Daisy constantly stress to everyone other than Marsha that they are not a couple, but sexual tension is inevitable due to their living situation.
The show depicts the antics of the group, using quite surrealhumour, somewhat similar to that of "The Young Ones". Although Tim and Daisy claim to be budding comic book artists and aspiring writers resectively, they rarely pursue any work related to these ambitions, instead preferring to pass the time in seemingly pointless activities, particularly going to the pub. The comedy tends to stem from their undertaking of these mundane actions, which turn into comical situations time and again, never ceasing to amuse the audience.
This is a good effort Steve. All the information is there, BUT it reads like a review and doesn't jump off the page. Remember an outline like this is "selling" the idea, not just recounting it. Spaced is fresh, zaney, and mad and frenetic - so you have to get that across in the outline. This makes it sound not that funny and not that unusual. Outlines are tough, but a very useful tool.
