Simon Pegg will return to television with a new sitcom, La Triviata.

The comedy is written with Shaun Of The Dead co-star Nick Frost, who also appears in the show.

The programme, centring on a pub quiz team, is set in the same pub as featured in Pegg's zombie-comedy.

He said: "The Winchester pub in Shaun Of the Dead is based on a pub called The Shepherd near where we used to live. Nick and I have also set La Triviata in The Shepherd. We don't have that much of an imagination."
