I read somewhere that in England there was a miniseries about a zombie apocalypse scenario occuring from the viewpoint of their version of the "Big Brother" house and show. Has anyone seen it? Does anyone know if it is available on DVD anywhere? |

You know... I've still not got around to watching this! |
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

I personally didn't find it too interesting. It wasn't really bad, it just didn't pull me in like I had wanted. I wasn't itching to see the next episode after one had ended. |
I liked it |
I thought it was solid. I bought a copy when I was in Liverpool over Christmas. It played fine in my DVD player...which was a nice surprise. Tried to find the Blu of Day of the Dead but had no luck. |
its brilliant and kicked seven shades of shit out of, then wiped said seven shades of shit all over, The Walking Dead. |
Innocent victims of merciless crimes, fall prey to some madman's impulsive designs.
Step after step we try controlling our fate. When we finally start living, it's become too late.

The first time I saw Dead Set I loved it, watched the entire series when it was up in parts on Youtube. I normally would've shut it off during the first episode, during the overly long setup pre-zombie crisis, (always hated reality TV) but Jamie Winstone is great on the eyes (and ears; adorable voice) and thus I was sucked into the story. The ending is surprisingly dark, there was quite a bit of gore in it for a TV series, and I actually liked the characters. Well, besides the fat black chick with fucked up teeth and her sidekick, the highly irritating cross-dressing fem. |
Really enjoyable little series. Especially the head-nod to Rhodes in the final episode. Felt like a good zombie flick; understandable, with Charlie Brooker at the helm. |
I haven't covered wars, y'know.

Was very gritty and realistic-feeling, and just makes you think... "Is everyone's boss an arse hole?"
