Something I'm quite bad at is writing reaction posts before reading what the rest of the internet has to say about something. But in this case, I think I'm about two years behind, so this shouldn't be a problem.
Anyway, yes. So I've just watched Dead Set.
It was something I remember at the time wondering whether to watch, because yay, zombies - but also I was vaguely concerned that I wouldn't 'get it' because I'd never watched an episode of Big Brother in my life. And this was way before Charlie Brooker had entered my sphere of consciousness, so once I'd (a) twigged he'd written it and (b) come across a copy in HMV whilst pissed and therefore prepared to pay over the odds for having it in my hands right now...well.
( I have to say )
