Never heard of it.  And after clicking your link, I've still never heard of it!

You're just trying to deny it to hide your zombie nature.

This is so retarded.  Nothing says "I have no creativity" like taking two fads and combining them.

Saw it on zee newsgroups. It's a british mini-series. 99 out of 100 of them are total shit. Odds are this will continue their stellar history. But who cares, right, a few hundred MB and a couple hours never hurt anybody.

Watched the first episode, usual zombie nosh prog with a "big Brother" twist.

Nice to see Davina Mccall get eaten.

Necropost! (appropriate, really).

I recently read that Charlie Brooker (Screenwipe, Newswipe, etc) wrote this, and so tracked it down and watched it. It's low-budget in many ways but doesn't seem low budget until you break down the components and go "oh yeah" as the locations etc fit in perfectly with the story.

I enjoyed it, and I'm no fan of Big Brother. Well worth obtaining and the evening it takes to watch.

When she crossed over, she was just a ship. But when she came back... she was bullshit!

British TV zombie miniseries from a few years ago.  Zombie apocalypse, as seen by a handful of people (won't call them survivors) on the set of Big Brother UK.  Hostess of Big Brother actually plays herself in it.  Kind of an odd format, it's 5 episodes, the first being 1 hour (45 minutes, really) and includes some crowd footage shot on the set of the real Big Brother on eviction night, the rest was produced at a duplicate set.  The other 4 are 22 minutes long, so the result is about 2 1/4 hours long total, more like a long movie.

Really good as a zombie flick, but there was only the one season (and won't ever be another).  Only available in Region 2 coding, so if you don't have an unlocked DVD player it's "Yargh, matey" or nothing for non-Brits.

Actually, this is showing up on my cable company's OnDemand right now.  Presented for free by either IFC or Sundance.

We need a more reliable search.  When I looked, I didn't see anything that looked relevant because it was sorted by date, and both words were common.
