I'm quite excited, the advert looked good. We only get e4+1 though so I'll have to watch it later than everybody else.

I have my matchsticks at the ready to keep myself awake to watch it (god I'm such a lightweight now!)

That was quite fun...

solidgoldskullonastick · 27/10/2008 23:12

Yup, not bad at all (though OK how did the zombie get into the compound and if one is in why aren't there more in there?).

Perhaps we had better remind ourselves of our zombie plans, eh?

PortAndDemon · 27/10/2008 23:19

Presumably someone else did the same as Kelly (made a run for the compound) in the night but accidentally let a zombie in?

Not sure why Kelly didn't just stay in her nice safe office, mind you.

I like Zombie Davina... wonder if we'll see any more of her. How did Clueless Pippa survive this long?

oh I LOVED that. I've almost forgiven brooker for nathan barley now.

solidgoldskullonastick · 27/10/2008 23:30

I am of course now too scared to go to bed...

bellabelly · 27/10/2008 23:43

I LOVE it, can't wait for tomorrow night's instalment

I missed most of it My dad rang so I was in the other room when all the exciting stuff happened. Will have to hunt round for it so I can catch up. Looked good from what I saw though.

didn't think it was that good - they had obviously copied watched 28 days later too much

akhemsProjectilePeaSoup · 28/10/2008 08:41

aargh i forgot

hadababy · 28/10/2008 08:50

To be honest I think Dead Sh1t would be a more apt name. Tuned in for about 10 minutes but had to turn it off!

BBBeeast · 28/10/2008 08:53

i love charlie brooker - i think this could have been edited down but maybe it will improve. attention to detail was great.

needmorecoffee · 28/10/2008 08:53

it was good then? I am so jealous. Have to go to bed with dd at 9.
How much is Sky plus?

BBBeeast · 28/10/2008 13:10

well it was good but not where near as good as screen wipe. I do love him and I was really looking forward to it - hence the dissappointment I think. But it was still the best thing I have seen in ages - just not up to my expectations.

BBBeeast · 28/10/2008 13:12

this you tube trailer will give you an idea....

nickytwooootimes · 28/10/2008 13:13

I loved it and will be tuning in again tonight.
I am wondering how they will sustain it though. I'm sure Charlie will manage, lol.

I hated Nathan Barley, but love Screen Burn and all the Grundian stuff.

BBBeeast · 28/10/2008 13:17

first time round i hated nathan barley but got it out on dvd recently and liked it much more on a rewatch.

he is very very funny - you can watch loads of screenwipe on tou tube.

shinyshoes · 28/10/2008 13:25

is it repeated??

hellsbells76 · 28/10/2008 14:06

problem with nathan barley is that it could never ever be as funny as the original tvgohome stuff. which could never have been broadcast, for obvious reasons. also by the time the tv series went out the hoxton twat stereotype was a bit old.

Rochwen · 28/10/2008 16:32

ok, don't laugh. I tried to watch it but it was way toooooooo scary so I just popped in and out. Thus is have no real idea what happened. Can someone please give me a wee summary in case i am braver tonight and decide to watch it properly. Pretty please !

southeastalien · 28/10/2008 18:17

i enjoyed it, thought it was funny

UpJacobscreek · 28/10/2008 18:20

I loved it ,didn't like watching davina "die" though she was a very good zombie though.

differentWitch · 28/10/2008 18:21

watching it on sky +. It's a bit shit really.

solidgoldskullonastick · 28/10/2008 18:23

However, if zombies do happen here's what to do
