Curfew - Sky One

[robfosters]

Watched the first episode last night.

It's a strange concept. Kind of like a zombie horror mixed with The Cannon ball run.

Basically, London is under curfew due to a mysterious zombie horror that comes out and feeds after dark. There is a way to escape the city to a new life on some kind of paradise island, and that way is to win a deadly race that takes place at night.

Decent cast list includes Sean Bean, Miranda Richardson and Billy Zane. First episode set the scene nicely for a couple of the participants, and I presume we'll learn much more about the others later. But after the first episode, it certainly looks like its going to be a great watch over the next few weeks.

First episode is up now. I really enjoyed it.

includes Sean Bean

Does he die ? Or is he already dead as a zombie ?

When I heard him on the radio advert for this, I automatically assumed it was an O2 advert.

Well he’s not dead yet.

 

[Minusorange]

Hmm I might watch to see how long he survives

Judging by the theme of the show, I think it’s highly unlikely he’ll survive to the end.

No, it hasn't "got that bad with Sean Bean" at all. Him dying in movies and TV shows is a very long running gag. In fact, one of the questions in a pub quiz we entered not long back was "Name five shows or movies in which Sean Bean doesn't die?"

 

[wolfie138]

that very reply suggests to me that is HAS got that bad.

Yep, Bond drops him of the Arecibo radio telescope in that.

Potentially his most spectacular death

Watched the first episode of this earlier, and as soon as I saw a poor CGI McLaren 570S pull off some manoeuvres that would've left Automan baffled and then shrug off bursts of .50cal from a Ma Deuce with nowt but a cracked windscreen I had to laugh. Don't think I'll be watching the second episode.

 

[omnomnom]

I saw them film this in Liverpool. Driving sports cars around the city centre at ridiculous speeds lol.

Ill watch this i reckon.

2nd ep was pretty canny, but it's verging on the stupid in places

Spoiler: plot niggles

firing a rocket launcher backwards? don't think so, did he not even remember which way he put the projectile in?
they made nothing of the fact that the monsters should have swarmed to that beacon too.
that was the longest "3 minutes until reinforcements" eeeever.
