Shaun of the Dead/Hot Fuzz/The World's End

Triple bill of British comedies written by Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright.

In 'Shaun of the Dead' (2004), Shaun (Pegg) works in an electronics shop in London's Crouch End.

He doesn't get much respect from his fellow staff, even though he's standing in as the temporary boss.

Meanwhile, he doesn't get on with his stepdad Philip (Bill Nighy) and his girlfriend Liz (Kate Ashfield) has had enough of his lack of direction and penchant for downing pints in the local pub.

Things only get worse with the advent of the zombie apocalypse but Shaun joins forces with his best friend Ed (Nick Frost) to fight back, determined to save Liz and his mother Barbara (Penelope Wilton) from a grisly fate.

In 'Hot Fuzz' (2007), Sergeant Nicholas Angel (Pegg)'s arrest record puts the whole of the Metropolitan force to shame and so his superiors reassign him to rural Gloucestershire, hoping they have heard the last of him.

However, the sleepy town he's posted to turns out to be a hotbed of grisly murder and vigilantism.

Angel's diligence and character sits ill with the locals, except for police officer Danny Butterman (Frost), who's a huge fan of buddy cop movies.

The pair bond and join forces to uncover the truth about who is responsible for the crimes.

Finally, in 'The World's End' (2013), galvanised by Gary (Pegg), 40-somethings Oliver (Martin Freeman), Andy (Frost), Steven (Paddy Considine) and Peter (Eddie Marsan) return to their home town for one last attempt at completing the Golden Mile pub crawl and reaching the final pub, The World's End.

However, after setting out on their quest, the friends' objective soon pales into insignificance when they realise that the fate of the entire human race may rest in their hands.
