 Shaun (Simon Pegg (qv)) complains that Ed (Nick Frost (I) (qv))  isnt his boyfriend, then says, "Thanks, babe." In season one of  _"Spaced" (1999)_ (qv), a conversation begins in a similar manner  between the two actors ("All right, babe?"). This was, however, a  total mistake. The writers used the same joke again, forgetting they  had used it in Spaced.
