I finally got round to watching this cop comedy now out on DVD starring Simon Pegg and a host of new comic talent, including comedy favourites like Steve Coogan Adam Buxton as well as Paddy Considine and Jim Broadbent. Set in the fictitious West Country village of Sandford it's actually filmed in Wells, a place just up the road so that was probably the root of my trepidation - would the jokes about rural people be a bit offensive? But no - it was genuinely funny and pretty accurate - a lot of the accents were well done and the local flavour pretty spot on. The soundtrack is pretty good too. So if you live in the US and you haven't seen this - track it down - its made by the Shaun of the Dead team - and its West Country life to a tee. Apart from the guns perhaps...
