Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) who is sent to the seemingly idyllic village of Sandford. At first life seems dull, but along with sidekick, PC Danny Butterman (Nick Frost), Angel soon discovers some sinister goings on. This was not the first film that Edgar Wright made in Wells. In fact during his time as a pupil at the local secondary school (The Blue School) he made a number of films, including his first cop film, Dead Right.One of the biggest stars of Hot Fuzz is Wells itself.
