Any image of Davina - in zombie form or not - is unnecessary.

By all accounts this is going to be one scary show. Brooker says don't go in expecting Shaun Of The Dead, it's not going to be an out and out comedy.

Yes she might be a zombie but there isn't a hint of grey! Very Happy

Funny to think how over the years Charlie Brooker has made it very clear in his Guardian columns how much he can't stand Davina. And now she's starring in his show.

I don't suppose anybody can pre-empt whether this will be on 4oD?

I can't remember the full plot of the novel, but isn't this going to be slightly close to Ben Elton's Dead Famous? ( except for the actual horror element to the TV drama )

Umm, don't think so. Dead Famous (which I quite enjoyed) was a whodunnit set in the BB house. Although it had a predictable solution it was well observed and hung together well in terms of plot.

I think the premise of this is that the BB housemates are the last to know about the zombie horror on the outside of the house - that's as much as I gleaned from an article in the metro.

I love Charlie Brooker. Am really looking forward to this.

Interesting. Anyway, that was the best thing I've watched in a long while.
