The series is made up of five episodes, the first episode is sixty minutes long, the remaining four are thirty minutes in length. The show will air from Monday 27th October 2008 to Friday 31st October 2008.

I'm not too optimistic with Beth Cordingly in it, her stint as PC Kerry Young/Harper in The Bill still makes me shudder.

Charlie Brooker has written and produced it so Its going to be side splittingly funny and must see tv.

ArmaniJeanss

Just a reminder that it starts tonight (Monday) on E4 and continuing each week night all week.

New working wiki link.

Hello AGAIN people

Ann22

I'll record it, won't be home. Sounds good alright.:)

Ann22

Looks good so far.The zombie popping up from behind the car looked cool:eek:. Spotted Ziggy, Imogen, Bubble Brian and Helen. That fella from 'Big Train' was one of the contestants, he's usually funny.:)

zuroph

zuroph

And not a bin bag in sight , Kudos to the Zombies.;)

ArmaniJeanss

Sounds like it was worth watching then. Recorded it and will watch it tomorrow.

P.S. Theres another thread in the main television forum (an evil twin thread I suppose).

Sharpshooter

You are an overworked reporter ArmaniJeanss and we thank you for it.:D

Ann22

Wonder who was bitten by that zombie in the house there at the end. The black girl I think was and the chap in the pink t-shirt. I wonder if they'll turn into zombies now. In 'Shaun of the Dead' once you've been bitten you'll eventually die and come back to life as one.

zuroph

oh yeah, they're ****ed, hence heading for the roof in the next one?

jobucks

missed it myself, but its out on DVD next week, so think will buy it and watch it all at once...

tylerdurden94

Well that was really cool :cool:

I enjoyed that alot zombies + big brother = HAPPY

Zombie Davina was very well done i thought, i kinda of had an idea they would do something like that.

There was some funny lines init but i think the line of the night for me was when your woman walked in on the couple getting a little frisky and she says "smell of fingering in here" just brilliant!

callaway92

I thought it was shíte but the lead actress was sum buuurd

Ann22

I can't take that fella from 'Big Train' seriously. Check out his turn as an evil hypnotist in this sketch.:D

Me Likes!

zuroph

too short tonight though, i cant see how its going to develop a story line in time!

Sharpshooter

Loosing interest already , they should have showed it as a 2 hour programme over however many nights.:(

Nice joke...:rolleyes:

Ann22

I enjoyed it last night. I sceamed once or twice.:o Your one (can't think of her name) was stupid not to check around her when she was doing that thing to drain the water into the river. The zombie was bootin' it for miles over to her! I was hopping up and down and your man must've been deaf sitting there in the boat like a tit and your one screaming:rolleyes: Dozy b*stard.

tylerdurden94

So overall i enjoyed it but the last episode was a little stupid had me screaming at the screen, that producer character was a fcuking spa!

The whole thing of trying to get out of the house in the van was absolutely ridiculous! Then opening the gate when you know you have chance of getting back into the van.

I suppose they did have to wrap it up there and then, couldn't really let it go on.

I thought that bit was quite sad it was obvious that she was jealous of your man and his girlfriend and that she didnt want to go...I felt bad when she said 'I liked our liitle farm house'...twas something like that very sad anyway!

ArmaniJeanss

Only just got around to finishing this now (I think it went on about 40 minutes longer than it needed to).

Very enjoyable and well-written til the last episode which was a bit of a mess. (The producer guys death was excellent though)

I thought the ending was going to be like the film adaptation of Stephen Kings The Mist with

rescue coming about 30 seconds after they decide to kill themselves.

I knew they had to finish it but to do it that way was just dreadful and so rushed

Zombie Davina was fantastic, I'll see her in a whole new light from now on.

I actually quite liked the end.

did ya read simon peggs review, why zombies should never run

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/nov/04/television-simon-pegg-dead-set

Sharpshooter

That's a lot of reading..:D
tylerdurden94 would be interested in it for sure.:cool:
l dunno , l started off liking it and then lost interest ( SAW ) kinda ruined any TV gore for me.
But l kept with it and overall thought it was good.
Too rushed towards the end but enjoyable enough.

Just read it there, i did like it (longish)

Sharpshooter my love of Saw has now been ruined by the piece of filth that was Saw 5!

Sharpshooter

Saw this in another thread tyler

Did you stay till after the credits ?

After the credits the puppet comes out and starts to speak:

Static fills the screen, and it clears to show jigsaw's puppet. He slowly turns towards the screen, and you hear John Kramers deep voice... he says:

"As a cinema-goer, you have been coming to see these Saw movies over the last 5 years. The first one was quite clever with a good cast (apart from that donkey Carey Elwes), but they have gradually deteriorated over the years - the main actor in Saw II used to be in New Kids On The Block, and the 2 main actors from Saw V gave my wooden puppet a run for its money in acting ability. While Saw III would have been a logical end to the series, the idiots in the suits decided to milk the franchise for a few more dollars. Thank you for your €9.50, and see you next year, suckers."

Then the dummy starts laughing and the screen fades to black.
