Fictional program on this week-Looked like Big Brother gone bad/nightmare!What is it?

[NeilF]

Caught a bit of an advert on TV this morning where it looked like a sort of fictional Big Brother show, but something goes really bad... I'll swear it was on this week sometime (10pm'ish)...

Anyone able to tell me what on earth it is?

It's a TV programme and it starts on the 27th, end of the world stuff based on that awful reality tv show. I hate BB but have set this to record in WMC.

Dead Set is a British five-part horror thriller created by British comedy writer Charlie Brooker. The series is set in the Big Brother house and is due to be aired on E4 from 27 October to 31 October 2008. The plot involves a zombie outbreak which strands the housemates inside the Big Brother house. Although the house is one of the only places left where people can shelter from the zombie attack, the infection soon seeps in and what follows is an unimaginable terror.

Sounds like BB meets 28 Days Later. Yawn.

Can't work out if its level is comedy - like Shaun of the Dead - or serious and darker!

Actually, I can imagine it's pretty terrible.

It's a horror comedy I believe (tho more horror than comedy), written by Charlie Brooker (erstwhile creator of TV Go Home! and superkaylo, and more recently Screenwipe). He talks about it here.

It is Dead Set. It just starts on the 27th.

looks & sounds rubbish tbh!
Think I'll wait to see what sort of reception it gets before I waste my time downloading and watching it!

I completely missed the advert part of the OP My excuse is that I was busy getting ready for an 'interview'.

They get turned into Zombies? Thought the people who went on there were of the lowest forms of human beings anyway...

 

[J1234]

Looking forward to this, looks very good.

Pah, how could you list that tosh and not point out the fact that he was the anarchic foundation of PCZone in the nineties? I miss him *sniff*
