** ''Give Me Your Future''. The album was originally announced (and due for release) in 2016, but it has since been delayed for over a year (apparently due to difficulties with releasing the vinyl) with no confirmed release date in sight, which has quite rightly angered a lot of pledgers who had purchased it. Space announced the release of a single in 2017, which changed from 'Boy Like Me' to 'Hold No Fear' and then to 'Dangerous Day', but as yet, nothing has been released, even though both 'Boy Like Me' and 'Dangerous Day' received airplay.

* DevelopmentHell / KeepCirculatingTheTapes: ''Love You More Than Football''.

* MissingEpisode: ''Love You More Than Football''. It was set to be released in 1999, then 2000, and even had a single released from it - 'Diary Of A Wimp' - but never came to fruition. It's also the last album before the split with Jamie on it, and also the last album with lead vocals by other band members besides Tommy (or instrumentals), until ''Attack of the Mutant 50ft Kebab''.

* CreatorBacklash: although it was released on an EP, the lead track of which was 'Bad Days', Space's then record company sent [=CDs=] of their cover of 'We Gotta Get Out Of This Place' to radio stations, and it ended up being the song that featured in a car advert, got played on the radio and on TV, and had a video made for it. The band were not pleased and felt that the record company had manipulated them. 'Dark Clouds' also incurred CreatorBacklash, probably because it came out around the time Jamie was having a nervous breakdown and Tommy Scott had lost his voice, plus Tommy sees it as being 'too wacky'. Before they split up, they played a garage rock version of 'Dark Clouds' at a couple of their gigs.

* OneOfUs: Tommy collects sci-fi movie figurines and shops at Forbidden Planet. Franny, meanwhile, is an avid gamer - he once stated that the best present he'd ever received from a fan is a SonicTheHedgehog game, and he's also into CallOfDuty and Pro Evolution Soccer.

** Jamie has also admitted in post-Space interviews that he didn't like ''Tin Planet''.

* ExecutiveMeddling: one of the many reasons why ''Love You More Than Football'' was never released and why the band eventually left Gut Records. Amongst other things, the record company disapproved of Edwyn Collins producing the album and tried to get other producers in. In Tommy's words, Gut were trying to make Space 'more like the Beautiful South'.
