In unison they say "We've finished cleaning the cupboard Mrs Klein". To which horror film does the Homage-o-Meter confirm this to be a reference?
2. In "Spaced" Series 1, Episode 2: "Gatherings", when Tim is speaking to Mike on the phone inviting him to the house-warming party, he is absent-mindedly sculpting a mountain out of mashed potato on his plate.

4. "Spaced" Series 1, Episode 5: "Chaos". Early on this classic episode, which contains numerous film references, is a scene in which Daisy gets all gooey over Colin the dog. Tim is less impressed. When she asks "How can you not like him, he's so cute?", Tim's response is "Yes, well, that's how it all starts, with "Oohs" and "Ahhs", but later there's barking and biting..." This is a reference to a scene in which film directed by Steven Spielberg?
5. "Spaced" Series 1, Episode 7: "Ends". In this crucial scene in the last episode of the first series, Tim is preparing to meet his ex-girlfriend, thinking that they may get back together again.

Tim may well recognise this reference to a scene in one of his favourite films - but which one?
6. "Spaced" Series 2, Episode 1: "Back" opens with Daisy returning to the flat after her Asian holiday. She puts some pop tarts in the toaster, then sees a gun on the worktop.
