Another celebrity fan of Nick's is horror director Eli Roth who once emailed Nick to say: "I just wanted to tell you again how great you were in Shaun Of The Dead. Quentin Tarantino and I were talking about you for an hour the other night saying how you're the funniest man on earth!"
Nick: Most telly is for kids now anyway. It's partly responsible for the collapse of English society. People watch X-Factor and think they can be famous for just being on telly.
Nick: (on television) I still like it. It's always on. I come from a working class background and the telly was always on. If it was off then there was a problem. You were either going to get told off or someone had died.
