History WMG / Spaced

* His very high sex drive (evidenced in both his "Simon's Dad" and "Lance" alter egos) has led to him being in simultaneous relationships with two women in different parts of suburban London -- Simon's Mum (''The Inbetweeners'') and Shelley (''[=PhoneShop=]''). When he's with the latter, he maintains an air of general incompetence which is actually an act which can explain away any irregularities in his life that she might discover. He doesn't want children with Shelley because he's already got two, and they're more than enough.

His often being away from his family due to work is actually a cover story for spending time with Shelley. When he's with her, he maintains an air of general incompetence which is actually an act which can explain away any irregularities in his life that she might discover. He deliberately ensured that their wedding was not legally valid because he feared being prosecuted for bigamy were he to go through with an actual second marriage while still married to his actual wife (Simon's Mum). He doesn't want children with Shelley because he's already got two, and they're more than enough.

* His comic store business collapses after Bilbo poaches Tim back. Needing to support his family (his wife Pamela and his sons Simon and Andrew), he gets a job with the [=PhoneShop=] Group and ends up as the manager of the Sutton branch.

[[WMG:Bilbo Bagshot is the identical twin of Manny from Series/BlackBooks]]

Mike and Tim's robot, Private Iron, has 'TFU' painted on it, which stands for 'The Fuckest Uppest'. This implies that a previous version of Private Iron (or a previous robot) was labelled 'The Fucker Upper'. Taking that further, the first generation could have been 'The Fuck Up' and represented something of a disappointment.

Black Books and Spaced are proven to exist in the same universe, since in one episode of Black Books, Manny is heard talking to Twist Morgan. Because of this, the only reasonable explanation for why Bilbo and Manny (both played by the same actor, Creator/BillBailey) look so similar is that they are identical twins. Additionally, Tim is probably related to Evan, the manager of Goliath Books.

[[WMG: Darkstar Comix owns ''TwoThousandAD'' in the ''Spaced'' 'verse.]]

''Spaced'' is an alternate reality where ''TwoThousandAD'''s non-''Megazine'' {{Spin Off}}s (''Crisis'', ''Revolver'', etc.) succeeded and they were able to form a company of their own when they parted from Fleetway (as opposed to being bought by Creator/{{Rebellion}}, as in RealLife). A copy of ''TwoThousandAD'' is seen on Damien's desk and Tim's ambition is to work for Darkstar, even though he is established InUniverse to be a huge ''TwoThousandAD'' fanboy. Ergo, Damien Knox is Tharg.
