Dead Set begins tonight. Which is bloody exciting for numerous reasons:
- Charlie Brooker wrote it
- It's set in a fictional Big Brother house
- Perfect for Halloween watching
- ZOMBIES!
As Brooker's created this series, I'm expecting plenty of observant wit, humour involving the 'age of the celebrity', and a commentary on social state of modern Britain. No, of course I'm not; only watching for the gore. As Brooker said in the SFX interview: We’re hopefully genuinely frightening and very gory and quite bleak...it’s not chinstrokey or trying to be clever a lot of the time - it's pretty dumb in a lot of ways!
Bring on the dumb.
