The Frost/Pegg pairing – a far cry from that of Frost/Nixon, which, historians agree, was altogether less homoerotic – has produced some wonderful work as of late. The pair have collaborated on both the terrific Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, as well as student TV favourite Spaced. In this sense, then, latest effort Paul (which the two co-wrote, albeit bereft of directorial collaborator Edgar Wright) is a continuation of this blossoming bromance.

However, it is also a film with a very specific audience in mind – geeks, braving sunlight and contact with XX-chromosoned ‘normals’ to snort at jokes relating to Ewoks and Mac & Me, tears rolling down their horn-rimmed spectacles into salsa-splattered Dorito bags.
