I'm probably spotting it from the other parodies. I've only seen Night of the Living Dead a couple of times. It's from the beginning when he's winding her up about being in the graveyard, right?
yup.

That was great.
Very Brooker-esque credits.

I thought this was excellent in the end. Being split into 30 minute episodes did break the tension somewhat, but the whole made up for it. Certainly one of the best things on TV recently. Did anyone else watch it all?

Yeah, it was good. Maybe a bit too much stupidity from some of the people in it, but they are meant to be playing big brother characters after all :D

I only watched the first one but I've got the rest recorded ready for when I have some time to watch them.

I really enjoyed it. I actually found it to be quite unsettling in places too - nice to see a zombie tv show/film that is a nice mix between humour and horror (the fact that the humour wasn't overstated made it stand out in that respect).
