After the two pretend to be a couple in order to rent an inexpensive flat, the show focuses on their zany adventures as they struggle to get their lives on track, figure out new ways to kill time, and deal with the feelings that could be developing between them, despite their repeated insistence to everyone that they aren't together. Tim's military-obsessed friend Mike, Daisy's ditzy glamour friend Twist, MadArtist Brian in the flat below and dipsomaniac landlady Marsha complete the main cast.

* ReferenceOverdosed: [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools Not that there's anything wrong with that.]] People can watch the show, and those who don't get the references can enjoy the jokes without problems, and those who do catch all the reference can actually add more laughs. Wright and Pegg's films after the series have this as a method of writing and directing. The DVD boxsets come with an optional "Homage-O-Meter" setting to keep track of every ShoutOut.

--->'''Tim:''' I hate it! It's boil-in-the-bag perversion for sexually repressed accountants and first-year drama students with too many posters of ''Film/BettyBlue'', ''Film/TheBluesBrothers'', ''Film/BigBlue'' and ''Film/BlueVelvet'' on their blue bloody walls!

Corrected an inaccuracy on the Pulp Fiction reference


** In the first episode of season 2, Daisy and Mike share a moment out of Film/PulpFiction, when Daisy finds Mike's Uzi on the counter when she gets home. He walks out of the bathroom to find his [[RecklessGunUsage gun pointed at him]]. The two stare tensely at each other, and then they start to have a conversation and forget it happened.
