Dead Set

Dead Set on E4 has been one of my favourite bits of television in a while. If you haven't seen it, the show is a zombie horror set in the Big Brother house. It's written by Charlie Brooker who previously worked on Nathan Barley and Brass Eye. While there are moments of dark humour this is not a comedy. It's full-on brutal zombie horror. I loved it.



The world is hit by a zombie plague and one of the few safe places is the set of Channel 4's Big Brother TV programme. Big Brother is notorious for starring brain donors who are little different from zombies anyway adding an ironic twist to proceedings. We see Davina McCall being eaten by zombies and many previous housemates meeting similar fates.



The zombies are faster than usual and rather scary. The acting is good. The special effects work.

It's an intense show. I can't wait to get it on DVD to watch it again. Highly recommended.
