I don’t know how I’ve haven’t seen this before and don’t quite know who made this amazing mash up, but…
Thank you. Fuck yeah.
It was 10 years ago, this very evening.
Sandwiched somewhat amusingly between Friends and Frasier, was the first episode of SPACED on C4.
Am very touched by the various articles that have been printed and posted today.

“You lucky people. Oi oi”
Here’s my Directors Cut trailer for HOT FUZZ that I edited just before the release in February 2007, inspired by the piece of score AVENGING ANGEL by Robert Rodriguez.
Here’s a trailer for a little film I made with Mr. Pegg in sunny North London* in the summer of 2003.
This is the UK trailer which uses the Ash track Orpheus and not the US trailer which used L7’s Pretend That We’re Dead (A selection I hated with a passion. Still makes me moan whenever I see it.)
(*Most of it was in North London – save the Winchester exterior in…uh…sunny Millwall)
All fourteen episodes of SPACED distilled into one amazing track by the one, the only collage maestro Mark ‘Osymyso’ Nicholson.
I love this mix. I edited all the visuals by eye to Mark’s incredible mash up. It still brings a tear to my eye whenever I see the ending. Osymyso, you are the master.
Here’s the last video I directed for Charlotte Hatherley and indeed my last music video to date!*
Again it comes from her magnificent GREY WILL FADE album (look for her amazing third album later this year) and it features a star studded cast of David Walliams, Simon Pegg, Lucy Davis, Lauren Laverne, Alice Lowe and Julia Davis.
This video cost 6K and was the result of a lot of hard work and pulled favours. It took so long to complete that it still exhausts me to watch. But there is a lot of blood, sweat and tears in this rapid fire clip and I’m very proud of what we managed to achieve.
Enjoy!
*Some of my early, early pre Spaced music videos included clips for Ruth and The High Llamas. I will try and unearth these sometime, along with other nascent efforts.
Here’s a video I did for the extremely talented Miss Hatherley from her much underrated GREY WILL FADE album.
The SUMMER video contains an enormous amount of animation, flashcuts and subliminal frames (by the likes of Oscar Wright, among many others). It took an age to edit and failed the television standards epilepsy test 57 times before we got it passed.
Back in 2003, I distinctly remember Mint Royale’s label questioning my casting of Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt in my Blue Song video. They wanted someone bigger, even despite our low budget and the fact that both actors were working for free to help me out.
I told the label that they would soon be huge. Cut to a few years later and they are now cult superstars all over the planet.
See the young Boosh boys along with Michael Smiley and Nick Frost in my getaway driver musical number. Another video that I am very proud of. Hope you enjoy it.
This is a very low budget video I did for EMBLD for a single off their incredible debut album, HORSE OF THE DOG. The animation is partly by my big brother, Oscar Wright (as well as Matt Piper and John Yeo).
Am still very proud of this video and still love the song.
This was my second video for those lovely Bluetones boys (the first being Keep The Home Fires Burning) and is still one of my favourite things I’ve ever done. The Bugsy Malone homage came about because I remarked how Mark Morriss’ amazing song had a Paul Williams flavour.
The video is comprised (mostly) of one single shot, of which we did 9 takes. Choreography was by Litza Bixler, who also did the Don’t Stop Me Now sequence in Shaun Of The Dead.
Love this song.
Hey, here’s another commentary I did for Joe Dante’s fantastic Trailers From Hell site. Behold the amazing THUNDERBOLT AND LIGHTFOOT.

EDGAR WRIGHT ON AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON – “BEWARE THE MOON – REMEMBERING AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON” was shot by a small independent, self-funded crew of three first time filmmakers, lead by (and including) writer/director Paul Davis between March and November 2007.
The above interview was shot for the proposed 45min UK television version of the documentary in June 2008 at The Prince Charles Cinema for the forthcoming Blu-Ray and 2-disc special edition release of AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON, Universal Studios Home Entertainment acquired the rights to the 98min feature version (playing at Frightfest) which contains exclusively interviews with the original cast and crew only. Now, for the first time ever, the lost interview with Edgar Wright sees the light of day.
