Art is the third episode of Series One of Spaced.
Overview[]
After staying up all night on amphetamines and playing video games, Tim begins to hallucinate zombies. Brian is invited to a play put on by his old friend, Vulva, and Tim, Daisy and Marsha come along.
Synopsis[]
After accepting cheap Speed from some aggressively friendly Scotsmen, Tim has been up all night hallucinating that he is inside the Resident Evil zombie game, while Mike has somehow managed to get to Sheffield on the London Underground. Brian receives an invitation to an art performance from his former collaborative partner, the non-gender-specific Vulva (real name Ian) and their new artistic partner Hoover, while Daisy receives a job interview from the new woman's magazine, Flaps.
Daisy's interview does not go well, especially after an ill-advised attempt at 'Girl Power', and she is turned down for the job. Tempted by the promise of free alcohol, she and Tim accompany Brian to Vulva's play. After watching the extremely long and surreal performance, Daisy tries to strike up a conversation with a hostile Hoover, while Brian approaches Vulva to try and impress them with the way his career has gone since they parted company, but his attempts at suave conversation backfire. When Vulva is dismissive of both Brian and his art, a still-hallucinating Tim punches Vulva believing them to be a zombie and persuades the other 'survivors' to escape with him.
Back at the flat Brian expresses his admiration of Tim punching Vulva and finally finds the will to move on with his own career, while Daisy uses her experience at the job interview to put together her own performance piece.
