Nick Frost

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.

Spaced's clubbing episode is finest feel-good moment

Broadcast in 1999, right at the end of the most optimistic decade in recent memory, 'Epiphanies' encapsulates the feel-good outlook of its time.

Manwatching review

I can't tell you who wrote Manwatching, or even who stars in it. The author of this personal monologue about straight female sexuality is keeping her identity secret.

Office worker Bruce Garrett (Nick Frost) is seeking redemption on the dancefloor. He tucked away his sequins years ago after being bullied at school, but dusts them down when the new boss (Rashida Jones) he's fallen for turns out to be a salsa fan. Frost doesn't quite convince as a dancer, but he's a nimble comedian and there's plenty of support from a vibrant cast including Olivia Colman and Chris O'Dowd.

Manwatching, which explores heterosexual female desire, is written by an anonymous woman and directed by Lucy Morrison.

10 top tens for Hot Fuzz's tenth

This year, after watching Hot Fuzz for the tenth time, and still picking up little details I'd never noticed before, I went down to the pub for a glass of celebratory cranberry juice. I thought Anglonerd magazine, too, should celebrate the brilliance of this film in a big way, so here is not just a top ten list, but ten top ten lists, highlighting the best one hundred things about Edgar Wright's comedy action flick. *Spoilers*

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost make a fine pair of sci-fi nerds. They play Brits in San Diego for a convention and general UFO spotting, and guess what: they find an actual alien. Paul, who looks like ET, has the voice of Seth Rogen and eats live birds. With the feds after him, the three embark on a wacky, often funny, Winnebago tour of sci-fi movie cliches.
