Simon Pegg, Robert B. Weide ('How To Lose')

Simon Pegg steps into the grubby shoes of Britain's most notorious, self-proclaimed showbiz 'hack' Toby Young in an adaptation of his same-titled memoir. It turns out his bulldog brand of journalism didn't go down too well during his stint on a swanky New York magazine (nobody mention Vanity Fair...). Pegg tells us why he hopes to spend more time in America despite the culture clash and his plans for another film with Quentin Tarantino. Meanwhile, director Bob Weide (best known for the landmark US sitcom Curb Your Enthusiasm) explains why the British sense of humour isn't so alien to our cousins across the pond.
