An extract from At The Movies.
London police constable Nicholas Angel, played by SIMON PEGG, doesn’t have much of a life but he’s a highly efficient policeman – so efficient, in fact, that he makes all the other cops look bad. So his superiors, BILL NIGHY, MARTIN FREEMAN, STEVE COOGAN, promote him to Sergeant but send him off to the little West Country village of Sandford where they figure he won’t do much harm. The Sandford Police Force, led by Inspector Butterman, (JIM BROADBENT), are a pretty laid back lot and turn a blind eye to such things as drink driving and underage drinking. But then the local lawyer and his mistress, who are acting in an amateur play, are beheaded – just the start of a series of murders the intrepid Sgt. Angel and his enthusiastic off-sider Danny, (NICK FROST), have to investigate.
Also, both PETER JACKSON and CATE BLANCHET makes uncredited guest appearance in the film. Both of whom I did not spot – I had to google because it was driving me crazy that I could not place one of the female actors who did not get credited.
And because I want to - BY THE POWER OF GREY SKULL!
I have hope for this world. Honest.
