Dead Set

I’ve been a fan of Charlie Brooker for a number of years now, so seeing that he’d written a series for E4 called Dead Set, I was always going to watch it. And knowing that it was based around zombies attacking the Big Brother set, well, that was just extra impetus – particularly when one bears in mind his normal acerbic views on the losers who take part in Big Brother.

The first episode went out on Monday, and it’s on every night this week. I caught up with the first episode last night, and it’s brilliant. Well, so long as you can suspend disbelief about zombies, of course.

I also love the way they’ve done the credits online instead of at the end of the programme – that’s another stroke of genius.
