Simon Pegg: 'No more Spaced'

Simon Pegg has said that he will not return to Spaced for a third series.

The comedian created and wrote the Edgar Wright-directed show with Jessica Hynes and it ran for two series in 1999 and 2001.

Writing on his Twitter page, Pegg said: "Spaced premiered on Channel 4, ten years ago this month. Happy Daiz but there will be no more. Time to let it go."

Earlier, he had joked: "Back at the hotel I made a big mess in when Spaced lost out on the International Emmy in 2001. When I say mess I mean I didn't fold my socks."

Since Spaced ended, Pegg has collaborated with director Wright and co-star Nick Frost on feature films Shaun Of The Dead and Hot Fuzz.

A pilot for a Fox remake of the programme without the original creators' involvement was produced in 2008 but the US series was not picked up by the network.
