Truth seekers .. Nick Frost and Simon Pegg

Fretwired

Filmed in my home town this is apparently worth a watch ...

I do love a bit of Pegg and Frost. Spaced and Shaun of the Dead were just brilliant.

What about Hot Fuzz??

Hot Fuzz was my favourite of the cornetto trilogy. 

stickyfiddle

Yep. I love Shaun of the Dead but honestly every single beat of Hot Fuzz is brilliant.

Paul is pretty much as good... yet no cornetto?

I saw Shaun at the cinema and loved it, Worlds End, Hot Fuzz and Paul have grown on me when rewatched. I even quite liked Run Fatboy Run, although that was mainly for Thandie Newton eating toast. 
The well of new conventionally made TV and film must be running a bit dry so it's pleasing to see any significant new releases.

Watched the first 3 episodes last night & I'm loving it.
It's a finely observed comedy with characters that have chemistry and some fairly scary stuff, but more than all that it has Terence Stamp in it.
Terence Fucking Stamp!!! A truly great example of acting, with dry self deprecating humour & comic timing. 
Watch it if you can.

Malcolm Mcdowell...

thought it was really well done, works both as a comedy but also a horror.

Oh boy, is my face red...
Freudian slip? But unforgivable, thanks for the correction.
I'm prepared to be mercilessly ripped...
The rest of what I had to say was vaguely on message

Don't know why I'm bothering as I have no excuses,  but in my non existent defence...
Off to stand in the garden & beat myself with a bunch of twigs

Christ. Sting's let himself go.

Just watched the first episode. Spooky, interesting and funny. MrsTheWeary was keen, often quite hard for us to find anything we both like.

Yeah, me and the Mrs don't cross over on much at all.

Finished it last night - big thumbs-up from myself and the Mrs. Very enjoyable!

Watched a few episodes last night in bed.  

It’s ok. Nothing amazing, but enjoyable enough.

I still haven’t watched all of this although it does build really well, for anyone undecided after a couple of episodes. 

MrsTheWeary describes it as ‘that programme that’s like Dr Who’ and I think that’s roughly correct. If the Dr was a fat, beardy chap who didn’t come from another planet and said fuck a lot this could be Dr Who. But better Dr Who than we’ve had recently.
