Twitter:

Nick Frost has a Paul profile picture so he must talk about it at some point, right? Probably.

Sigourney Weaver was on the Graham Norton Show promoting her cameo. A clip was played. Not that I watch Graham Norton or nothing. Brian Cox was on it too and he likes space. So in this respect its  a double advert.
