    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      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 Days Later (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).
    • Goofs
      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.
    • Alternate versions
      The E4 channel edited all five episodes into one movie for halloween 2009.

      Featured in Screenwipe: Episode #5.1 (2008)
