Spaced​ revisited: looking back at a cult classic

It may have been released nearly two decades ago now, but Simon Pegg and Jessica Stevenson's sitcom Spaced remains as hilarious and comforting as it ever was. The show is one of the great modern sitcoms and was the launching pad not only for Pegg, Stevenson and the rest of the cast, but also for director Edgar Wright.

The week in TV: Would I Lie to You?; Sick Note

At some points it felt as though Ed Balls had merely exchanged one bear pit for another; at others it bordered on poignant.

Are slackers born or made? This show stars Rupert Grint as Dan, a twentysomething malingerer who would prefer to be playing video games than be at work. When he is misdiagnosed by his incompetent doctor (Nick Frost), it could be the shock he needs to reboot his attitude before it's too late. As the plot develops, though, we find that it's difficult for a skiving, kind-of-untrustworthy leopard to change his spots. And yes, weirdly, that is Don Johnson.

An oral history of the horror-comedy zombie classic

Edgar Wright's rom-zom-com is a bloodstained love letter to the undead genre. Now the film's cast and creators relive this slice of fried cinematic gold.

Simon Pegg is fortysomething waster Gary King, who lures four school pals - Nick Frost, Martin Freeman, Paddy Considine and Eddie Marsan - out of their humdrum daily lives to complete the legendary pub crawl they failed to finish 20 years before in their boring home town of Newton Haven. But the lads' night out turns into a home counties version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers in a very funny, observant tale of midlife crisis, aliens and beer, the final part of Wright and Pegg's Cornetto trilogy.
