'Spaced': The beginning of 'The World's End'?

Having been one of the 'chosen ones' to have been able to see a pre-screening of the Edgar Wright/Simon Pegg film, The World's End, my mind immediately began to wander (no comments, please) as I left the cinema to just how much I love the earlier Channel 4 comedy series, Spaced.

World's End fails to beat Hot Fuzz at the box office

The sci-fi thriller starring Simon Pegg, Martin Freeman and Nick Frost suffers in the summer heat during opening weekend, taking just £2.1m compared to its predecessor's £5.9m.

If Paul, the last Simon Pegg/Nick Frost movie, was a self-indulgent journey into the outer realms of nerdiness, their latest collaboration is aimed squarely at those without an intimate knowledge of the Star Wars movies.

A crowd pleaser, this is a sci-fi comedy for everyone. Twenty years after a teenage pub crawl through their hometown, Pegg rounds up his old buddies (Frost, Paddy Considine, Martin Freeman, Eddie Marsan) for a re-run.

But while reminiscing, they learn that the place has a severe case of the Stepfords.

The film contains plenty that men approaching middle age will relate to and the laughs never dry up with Pierce Brosnan, who plays one of their former teachers, an absolute hoot.

The World's End - first look review

Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost bring their trilogy of comedies celebrating British eccentricity to a funny and satisfying conclusion.

The World's End, review

The World's End is a fitting climax to the trilogy Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg started nine years ago.

They battled zombies in Shaun of the Dead and fought renegade little Englanders in Hot Fuzz. Now, with their latest film, The World's End, the final instalment in their comic Cornetto Trilogy (so called because the ice creams turn up in each of the films), stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost and director Edgar Wright are facing their toughest challenge yet. We're not going to give much away beyond saying that the film combines the best aspects of the first two movies - the goofy humour, the knockabout violence, the witty observations on English life - and adds a hefty dollop of sci-fi action and an unexpectedly charming, thoughtful air of bittersweet nostalgia.
