Actor Simon Pegg revealed the terrifying truth behind his new Channel 4 show which centres around cyber terrorism, saying that all of it is based on fact or at least had been “war gamed” by those in power. Pegg made the comments on BBC’s The One Show when speaking to presenters Alex Jones and Roman Kemp, who seemed equally scared by the potential realities of cyber crime with the former calling the show “terrifying”.
Pegg played down his acting credentials joking that viewers may often associate him with comedies, and suggested if they were watching this new drama for gags they were going to be disappointed. The 52-year-old is starring in new Channel 4 show The Undeclared War alongside Mark Rylance and Maisie Richardson, which debuts tonight at 9pm.
