The show spaced jump started Wright's career. The show is about two London twenty year olds who meet by chance in a cafe while both are flat-hunting. Despite barely knowing each other, they conspire to pose as a young professional couple in order to meet the requisites of an advertisement for a relatively cheap flat in the distinctive building at 23 Meteor Street, Tufnell Park, which is owned by and also houses the landlady, Marsha Klein (Julia Deakin). Also in the building is Brian Topp (Mark Heap), an eccentric conceptual artist who lives and works on his various pieces in the ground floor flat. Frequent visitors are Tim's best friend, Mike Watt (Nick Frost), who ends up becoming a lodger after Marsha's daughter Amber "flies the nest", and Daisy's best friend, Twist Morgan (Katy Carmichael). The series largely concerns the colorful and surreal adventures of Tim and Daisy as they navigate through life, decide on what they want to do with their lives, come to terms with affairs of the heart, and try to figure out new and largely unproductive ways of killing time. Tim and Daisy repeatedly stress that they aren't a couple to everyone but Marsha, but despite (or because of) this, romantic tension develops between them, particularly during the second series.
Shaun of the Dead was Wright's first major film. Shaun is a 29-year-old TV Salesman whose life has no direction. His younger colleagues at work show him no respect and he has a rocky relationship with his step-father, Phillip. He also has a tense relationship with his housemate, Pete, because of Ed, Shaun's vulgar and crude best friend and another housemate. His girlfriend, Liz, is unsatisfied with their social life, mostly because it consists primarily of spending every evening at the Winchester, Shaun's favorite pub, as well as the fact that they never do anything alone together - Shaun always brings Ed and she has to bring her flat mates, David and Dianne. Eventually, Liz breaks up with Shaun when he fails to book a table at a restaurant for their anniversary. Shaun drowns his sorrows with Ed at the Winchester and they return home, only to have Pete storm in and confront them. Pete berates Shaun and tells him to "sort his life out." Realizing that Pete is right, Shaun resolves to sort out his life the next morning.
Hot Fuzz is one of Wright's most recent films Top London cop, PC Nicholas Angel is good. Too good. And to stop the rest of his team looking bad, he is reassigned to the quiet town of Sandford. He is paired with Danny Butterman, who repeatedly questions him on the action lifestyle. Everything seems quiet for Angel, until two actors are found decapitated. It is address to as an accident, but Angel isn't going to accept that, especially when more and more people turn up dead. Angel and Danny clash with everyone, whilst trying to uncover the truth behind the mystery of the apparent "accidents".
