COMEDY duo Simon Pegg and Nick Frost have specialised at writing and starring in movies (Shaun of the Dead, The World's End) that stir together warm, beautifully drawn British comedy and classic horror themes. Their latest outing, a TV series called Truth Seekers, arises from that same delightful tradition. The truth seekers of the title are a gang who rove around England investigating the paranormal. Given that, I queried with my editors at New Scientist why I was being asked to review a show about ghosts when I hadn't been allowed to review The Witcher on its release. Back then, I was told: "There needs to be science in it. We're a science mag. Witches aren't science." This time, they said: "Is it like Ghostbusters? Are there gadgets? Because if so, that counts. It's technology."
