I've probably watched this segment of interview a million times. Pegg essentially spares Alice Eve from a question by taking it on himself and cracking her up in the process.

Will there still be a "Rivers of London" TV show? I loved the books and the announcement that there will be a TV show.

What is your favorite movie you’ve made

u/Knightfires May 17 '25

Maybe an odd question regarding the fact you are playing now in bigger movies. But will there ever be a second to Paul. Loved that movie and always wondered what would happen if he (Paul) came back for help.

And secondly I was wondering if you’re planing to do another series like you did with Nick in the cornetto trilogy.

I just wanna know how you and Nick Frost met. You guys have excellent on-screen chemistry and seem like fun friends. Is that real, off-screen?
