Only the most vicious and opportunistic of social climbers 'make it' in Hollywood. See David's one-time colleague: Catherine Zeta Jones and a host of other sociopaths including Simon Cowell, Ricky Gervais, and Gordon 'Don't ask about my affairs 'Ramsey.

Also, given how Brits tend to turn pretty quickly on anybody who cracks America, I think it's a blessing that he's stuck to Britain.

Hollywood is a poisoned chalice. Once American TV/film producers get there hands on anything that was popular in Britain, they immediately ruin it.

I have a cage full of doves to release when Simon Pegg falls. He should have stuck to playing sex offenders on Channel 4 spoof documentaries.
