Yes I know that was a very lame play on words but my life, this show really was an awesome feat of make-up and effects. It had everything; a good storyline – albeit a tad vague because we didn’t find out why everyone became zombies, we just had to accept that they did – and truly amazing effects, good humour and a strong ending.

Dead Set, E4’s new zombie drama is due to kick off this Monday 27th October at 10pm and we have brought you a great clip from episode one of the show.
I was in the crowd the night they filmed the fake eviction, so if you look closely, right beside the stairs which Pippa descends, you might just see me screaming my head off!

The coming week in tellyland sees the start of several new and much touted series but personally, I cannot wait for the new mini-series Dead Set to start next Monday 27th on E4 at 10pm. To be honest, I think this could be better than the actual Big Brother! Here’s a bit of info about the show in case you’ve been on Mars lately and haven’t seen the trailers and teasers…
‘Britain has a big problem. The dead are returning to life and attacking the living. The people they kill get up and kill – and it’s spreading like wildfire. Curiously, there are a few people left in Britain who aren’t worried about any of this – that’s because they’re the remaining contestants in Big Brother. Cocooned in the safety of the Big Brother house, they’re blissfully unaware of the horrific events unfolding outside. Until an eviction night when all hell breaks loose.

Big Brother host Davina McCall is to make a sensational cameo appearance in forthcoming E4 horror series Dead Set.
The five-part zombie thriller is set in a fictional Big Brother house which is increasingly under threat from the blood thirsty masses. Davina plays herself as the horrific events unfold during an eviction night. Viewers will be shocked to see Davina meet a very grisly end. But her appearance doesn’t end there…
Dead Set is written by acclaimed writer Charlie Brooker, who is well known for his columns in The Guardian and his BBC Four series Charlie Brooker’s Screen Wipe.
