Wissenswertes
Simon Pegg was a big fan of the show though he did bemoan the fact that the zombies are the "fast" type as seen in the Dawn of the Dead (2004) remake and 28 Tage später (2002). Charlie Brooker revealed that they didn't opt for the slow, shuffling zombie types as they wanted to depict the breakdown of society in extremely rapid time (ie, one week in the Big Brother house).

Patzer
At the end, Marky, Veronica and Joplin were ambushed by the zombies and torn apart. In the last scenes, they are shown walking about bodies intact.

Alternative Versionen
The E4 channel edited all five episodes into one movie for halloween 2009.

Dawn of The Dead Set

Considering this is a low budget TV film Charlie Brooker has pulled off a fantastic little gem, based on the premise of a Zombie Outbreak in England and the tale of a eclectic band of survivors (most of whom already hate each others guts) stuck in the Big Brother House, a satirical comment on the vacuousness of Reality TV to rival Romero's commentary of consumerism in the original Dawn of the Dead.

Taken as a gore fest with a huge dollop of black humour it works a treat and even the nihilistic ending fits so well into the message. Some great references throughout for Zombie Film Fans and Big Brother Fans alike. I like fast Zombies, much scarier and more threatening than traditional shufflers and considering the limited time this mini-series had they really were a necessity. Having some of the real ex-house mates and Davina as Zombies was a great touch.

If you enjoyed Dawn of the Dead (2004), 28 Days and Weeks Later, REC and Shaun of the Dead, Dead Set is definitely worth a viewing.
