On Channel 4 after the tosh that is Big Brother (was also on E4 a little while ago..) Anyone else watched it?
Written by Charlie Brooker, best telly I've seen since the Sopranos finished!

Yarse. Watched it on E4 a while back and it's fuppin brilliant. Although I'm no fan of running zombies. Highly recommended.

Thought dead set(it doesn't deserve capitals letters) was the biggest crock of shite I'd seen on the tv in years.......

I find Zombie Davina strangely alluring.

Each to their own eh? Hang on - how much of it did you watch before deciding that?

Too many similar undertones to Survivors (which he ripped apart in his screenwipe programme!), for my liking - but if it'd been shown in a month or two I wouldn't have minded so much.
Is still entertaining show though - best thing that's ever happened to Davina! 😉

Running zombies is out of order, Dawn of the dead, the 70s original still has the ultimate zombies.

I loved it. Excellent response to running zombies by Brooker in the 2nd half of this:

Also agreed about Harry Hill / Screenwipe too!

Didn't mean to offend anyone. TV burp has my laughing my tits off but, in my opinion, Screenwipe seems a little more 'middle class' - maybe that's not the right term for it then. It looks down on mainstream TV whilst TV burp pokes fun in a more friendly fashion.

I missed the last episode seeing the first one the previous night 🙁

Anyone know where I can see or get the last bit?

emac65 - not sure what sort of telly you're into, but well... it's the wrong sort. That was fab.
I can tell something (eg. Survivors) is crap after the first 5 minutes. The fact that you'd watch 3 hours of something you think is crap says quite a lot really.
