Brilliant stuff - did everything it set out to do and more.

I really enjoyed that. Some proper jump out of the seat frights and 'don't do that' shouting at the screen moments.

wow that was ace... looking forward to tomorrows. For anyone interested - the eviction was filmed in front of a proper audience - one of whom included me. It was the week of Belinda's eviction...

Really enjoyed that, and a rather bold move for Channel 4 to allow the credits to be removed for effect, and placed online instead.

From what I've read/heard, that's not the last we've seen of "Davina Zombie", who appears throughout the series, and does things that will shock us all allegedly. Sound good! Laughing

It was one of the simpler things that really got me - the first victims eyes. After that I found myself moving further and further away from the TV.


Davina's death scene was pretty nasty too.

How cool! Did they tell you all to act a certain way for the zombie attack?

Shamefully, I Must admit, it had to watch that all with a pillow in front of my eyes! I agree, it was a risky move to cut the credits, but it totally worked, not to cheesy like what would have been done on any other network, well done E4!

Cool! Were you told about it in anyway, or were you just...let loose!

Yes, this would seem to suggest that.

You couldn't have something set at a Big Brother eviction night without Davina. I don't want to give too much away, but she's in it quite a bit, playing quite an unexpected role, and she's brilliant. She hurled herself into it, and I think she'll really surprise people. I don't think they'll quite believe what they're seeing.

That was so cool!! Really hope it's on 4OD as I won't be able to catch all the episodes live, great show though, nice mix of realism (I was trying to figure out who all the BB housemates were based on) and some really quite horiffic scenes, luckily the most graphic ones weren't too close-up and done in the shadows.

I wonder if the shot of a zombie watching one of the TV screens is some sort of ironic satire about how all BB viewers are zombies or something. That and when the girl screamed "Shut up, you f***ing idiots!!" at the housemates, which is what lots of people have probably wanted to say to them for some time.

Was i the only one who wasn't impressed by it much?

Davina's acting skills were quite substandard when being herself and much of the plot was pretty unrealistic for it to be believable in any instance. I know flesh eating zombies aren't supposed to be the most realistic thing in the world but it was just the setup that made it seemed corny.

Add to that some really shaky cameras so you can't make sense what's happening and some convienently placed doors in about 5 instances where she was able to get away from the zombies.

I predict i'll watch it tomorrow but my interest will certainly wain towards the end.
