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?

Well it sounds good anyway

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

In some of the stills you can already see some of the zombies have stupid contact lenses in... All we need is the typical 'godzilla' roar for them as well...

We had this in the 'Yawn of the Dead' 2004 remake. We don't recon the audience are very clever so:-
1) As soon as someone is infected we'll help the audience realise the person is now dangerous by making their eyes change straight away.
2) Maybe that's not enough of a hint, so we'll make them roar like godzilla too.

Anyway, here's hoping it's done well

If it's half as good as 'Shaun of the Dead' that wil be fine!
