British funnyman Simon Pegg had to keep pinching himself on the set of new comedy Hot Fuzz because he spent days shooting at former James Bond, Timothy Dalton. Dalton plays the villain in the hit new movie and even he was impressed with the fast-paced car chase scenes in the film.

Pegg says, "It didn't escape me at all that all the times I was fighting with Tim, I was actually scrapping with 007 - and winning as well. To be leaning out of a speeding police car and seeing Timothy Dalton firing a big hand gun back at me, I can't even tell you how much fun that was.

"And the great thing was Tim, who's a very respected and experienced actor - and who has been in two James Bond films, came out of the end of that and said, 'That was the most fun I've ever had.' Two Bond films and it's Hot Fuzz that gives him the biggest thrill."

"Those were the days when we still associated Bond with suave, old school actors such as Sean Connery and Roger Moore,"
"Daniel didn't have a hint of suave about him," - Patsy Palmer
