Dead Set starts tonight - Big Brother v Zombies

Charlie Brooker's Dead Set begins on E4 at 10pm tonight. When I first heard about this I thought it was going to be absolutely dreadful. I'm still not sure whether it will be any good but the zombies look pretty convincing and it does feature the actor Kevin Eldon (Big Train, TMWRNJ). The above photo is of a zombie Davina McCall.

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.

Kelly, (Jaime Winstone) the production runner working on Big Brother finds herself caught in the impossible position of trying to fend off the walking dead alongside the remaining housemates, Davina herself, a host of former Big Brother housemates, her producer boss Patrick (Andy Nyman) and boyfriend Riq (Riz Ahmed).

Over the ensuing days, in a cruel reflection of the game show they thought they were entering, the contestants fall victim, one by one, to the hungry masses outside. Staying alive requires teamwork – which is tricky when you’re a group specifically selected by TV producers to wind each other up.

So the jury is still out on this one. I'll be watching the first episode tonight to see whether it works or not and it runs all this week. Below is the latest trailer for it. What do you think of it? Let me know if you watch it tonight and whether you enjoyed it or not.
