Line 3:
=== Tim Bisley <small>(Simon Pegg)</small> ===
Grouchy, jilted and heartbroken comic book artist with a serious interest ''[[Star Wars]]'' and something of a fixation on [[The X
* [[Berserk Button]]: He is ''not'' a fan of ''[[The Phantom Menace]]''.
Line 11:
* [[Creator Breakdown]]: Check out his sketching pad after being dumped by his girlfriend. Not happy. Then see it after he moves in with Daisy and finds some measure of happiness. Happy!
* [[Ho Yay]]: With Mike. And how. Although Tim seems to have it with a ''slightly'' lesser degree towards Mike than vice versa.
* [[Jerk
* [[Kindhearted Cat Lover]]: His [[Cuteness Proximity|reaction to the cage full of kittens]] when rescuing Colin indicates this. He rescues them as well.
* [[Man Child]]: Has very childish interests. Sees nothing at all wrong with this. Also has a tendency to strenuously refuse to accept the fact that he's getting older.
{{quote|
''[Everyone looks at him skeptically]''
'''Tim:''' ''[Sheepish]'' Young adults. }}
* [[Neat Freak]]: Tim puts far more effort to keeping his and the communal rooms in good order than Daisy does
Line 22:
* [[Serious Business]]: The ''[[Star Wars]]'' trilogy... and it's eventual decline.
* [[Wangst]]: Series one, after being jilted.
* [[White
=== Daisy Steiner <small>(Jessica Stevenson)</small> ===
Line 28:
* [[Genki Girl]]: Attempts to be one, but she's often morose and moody, and her genki antics are more often or not really an excuse to avoid doing any writing.
{{quote|
* [[Hollywood Pudgy]]: Mostly in the first season.
* [[Motor Mouth]]
* [[The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything]]: She's an aspiring writer who actually does very little writing. Lampshaded by Tyres in this exchange:
{{quote|
Daisy: I write, actually.
Tyres: In other words, you're on the dole. }}
* [[Platonic Life Partners]]: With Tim.
Line 93:
* [[Pragmatic Villainy]]: Why he didn't sue Tim after getting shot in the bollocks. He knew Tim had nothing of value.
* [[Romantic False Lead]]: For Tim, regarding his old girlfriend. The ''bad'' kind.
* [[Self
{{quote|
'''Tim:''' Stole my girlfriend.
'''Duane:''' Well, that depends on how you look at it.
'''Daisy:''' I think that's how ''Tim'' looks at it.
'''Tim:''' Yes, I do. }}
Line 111:
* '''[[Mood Swinger]]''': Oh, so, so much a swinger. He can't, literally, hold a single emotion for a long time. Also provides the quote on the trope page.
* [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny]]: Played with. Tim starts to explain to Daisy about how easily distracted Tyres has been an certain occasions, but both of them are immediately distracted by the TV.
{{quote|
* [[Leitmotif]]: Everytime he changes into an outburst of anger, a rave music starts to sound, and it stops when he calms down. Abruptly.
* [[Drugs Are Bad]]: The constant ectasy and clubbing got him a real bad case of FUCKING MOOD SWINGS. On the other hand, he's not at all a bad guy, and he's always lending money to Tim -- albeit because he also has poor memory from over-use of drugs and can never remember that he's lent it or whether Tim's paid him back, which Tim exploits.
