  • That show was so good. I watched the whole series all together as one long episode, and MY GOD IT WAS AWESOME!!!! I had no idea that Charlie Brooker had that kinda horror writing skills in him! I thought he was just comedy.

    BUT THIS SHOW WAS EVERYTHING!!! It had horror, absolutely brilliant acting and truly awesomely scary zombie attack scenes.

  • What a complete let-down to a promising idea this was! OK apart from Davina, she was probably one of the best zombies I've ever seen! But it seemed to me as though the writers were struggling to find an ending & they settled for the one we got. I was so looking forward to seeing this but I'm afraid I wont be buying the DVD!

    BTW,why does everyone turn into complete idiots in these kind of films? The 'house-mates' made real BB contestants look intelligent! + the worst 2 cops in TV history!!

    WASTE!

  • wow, really? i was suprised at how good it was. i was quite against it before i saw it.

  • she was great in it, pretty creepy.

  • I loved it from the start but I thought the endin was a bit of a letdown, was hoping at least space and the main one would get out.

  • IT WAZ A LET DOWN WERNT IT !!!!!!! but the girlnew she waz gonna die of starvasation in the dining room and i carnt belive they opend the gate!!!

  • It's a zombie film.. It was hardly gonna have a happy ending..

  • that wasn't a let down ...wtf is rong wit u...it was pretty scary when noone actually survived...

  • That b*****d who was locked in the bathroom, why did he think that a little bowl of meat like that would do it?

  • thats the best thing ...it doesn't end like other zombie films

  • Dead set was a top class zombie horror in my opinion,a throw back to the video nasties of the 70s and 80s only better made,can't wait for charlie brooker's next horror effort

  • i think dead set is awesome i am only 12 and i have never seen horror before but its not really that bad so i could watch it it was so entertaining i have only watched 3 episodes will watch the last 2 on demand cant wait love it

  • it was great but could have been amazin cant belief that woman was the lead role she was so bad i cringed wit every line she said wit her raspy london croak of a voice the fat controller ovbiously sud hav died by her gun to give justice to the piece but him being ate by zombies was to funny to pass up, wen will they get that ppl get invested in characters not all bout action and one liners but overall it was good just such a let down with castin how can u get the lead so wrong!

  • Dead set was goreyer than any horror ive seen.

    The patrick bit made me feel so sick!

  • i thought big brother couldnt get any worse but i was wrong ha ha. dead set was entertaining. it was put together quite well and the acting wasnt bad. is there part 2? maybe u could have jade goody in DEAD SET II where she play the role of Alice in Resident Evil on a mission to wipe out the zombies. Yup, i can just see jade goody high kick them cabbaged flesh eaters with a bazooka strapped across her back.

  • A TV masterclass from Charlie Brooker

  • as a zombie flick it almost worked too well cos the social satire got buried underneath. the ending was unexpected but just right, and the best lines came from the biggest asshole. still, it was fuckin brilliant, and the best thing I've seen in years

  • i thought dead set was great i enjoyed all of it!!

  • Dead Set was ok but not incredible, I would have done it a little differently, I liked the whole big brother thing though that was kinda cool

  • wtf why do people hate the ending, it was a great ending. everyone is dead or a zombie, i mean wtf do u want, people to go out and find some sort of super weapon which wipes out only the zombies?

    the whole ideo of it is to mess with ur head, u think y is there no form of authority saving everyone, where did it come from, does anyone else survive, sometimes open ended things are much better, and they work esp well with horrors.

  • i loved the last episode, it was the best, the gore horrifie me so much that I had my hand over my mouth. great great film from start to finish. i mean if someone thinks it didn't work for them, then fair enough, but to not GET IT? come on, it could be enjoyed on multiple levels, asie from any message it put across, it was a great zombie movie at the very least.

  • ye i know what u mean, thinking back my mourh was a gape jus watching them all being ripped apart. i mean i had a feeling they were all gonna die, but it was jus so brutal, i was expecting an american style glorious fight to the death but it was just brutal haha!

    this can go alongised many other great british horror films that have been made over the years

  • i wouldnt of thought there will be another series...i mean in ended that everyone was a zombie,noone alive or anything..so i dont see how they can make another series..

  • =S what was the point in the ending? i mean is there gonna be another series? orr? =S i mean it didnt say y it broke out or anything =S it was soooo stupid as an ending =S can sum1 PLEEEASE tell me if theres gonna be anymore? bcoz i found the series good....but i HATED the last episode =S it was bollocks tbh :( :'(

  • dead set is pretty good,only thing that lets it down is the running zombies!!! whats that all aboot.zombies dont run!!

  • Zombies are scarier if they can catch you.

  • zombies don't do anything

  • I felt sick when Davina got turned into a zombie in it. I absolutely loved Dead Set, I watched it on E4 catch-up so it was like a film. There's only one thing I didn't like, I think they should have stayed with Davina more before she got turned into a zombie, you just kind of see her say "whats going on up there" and then it cuts to a hallway and she's getting eaten. The ending couldn't really have been done differently, they HAD to die, it would be impossible to live. Loved it.

  • yup agree with you, but the ending freaked me out, it was the eyes, i coulden't sleep cos of em!

  • i loved every minute of it, even though i watched it all in one like a feature film, it had me gripped to my seat for the whole thing. and you cant say that about many things.... anyway , on the contrary, i thought the ending was good because it wouldn't have been any good at all if somehow it was a happy ending!

  • Totally agree.

  • really good and enticing i thought but i wanted the ending episode to end on a way that we find out more about what caused it

  • this is zombie big brother .

    you have ALL been evicted .

  • i loved dead set but i thought the series could of been on for longer like a longer series lol but it was good

    i hate the fat blook though if i was there i would of chucked him over that fence because he would feed the lot.. he was that fat lol =)

  • yes , it would have been great as like a mega-series ( extended mini ) .

  • you mean like lost? cos that is NOT a goo iea at al. it was excellent tv, and I have nothing bad to say about it

  • well ... maybe like LOST should have been . LOST would have stayed a great show if it had been limited to 1-2 seasons (i sadly started losing intrest in the middle of season 3).

    i very much liked Dead Set ! really fun .

    i was just thinking if they could have streched it out over a 13 episode season run it would have been great and the characters would have been fun to see in greater detail .

  • what fat bloke? please don't tell me you mean patrick. not only is he not fat, but he was also fantastic.

  • Davina was great in this, just shows what a good sport she is. The whole series was excellent, although I was disapointed with the ending. There was no explanation as to how the outbreak had begun, but I suppose that is the idea.

  • i didnt like the ending of dead set

  • pretty naff that everyone just died :/

    just shows we're all screwed if it happened lol.

    x

  • That was the point I think.

    it ws supposed to be bleak.

  • it was brillant!

  • Patrick's death was a tribute to death of the main villain from the third film Day of the Dead in Romero's series. "Choke on 'em!".

  • I was thinking that when i was watching it.

  • will there be a serese 2? i need one lol i love this programme

  • Everyone's dead, as we know it.

    Dead Dead Set? I don't think so...

  • dead set is the best show this year absolutely brilliant...

    i thought patrick was hilarious, but jonty the fucking golemn opened the gates and somehow expected to get in the van, LOL, he was eaten. The saddest part was at the end, i really hoped that kelley somehow survived and killed them all, series 2 YAYY. But no :(

  • yeah tell me 'bout it, stupid shit speck, what in fuck did he think would happen "ooh lets open a gate with 100 zombies behind it!" but still what an awesome show, best horror EVER! Bravo Charlie Brooker, Bravo!

  • Im pretty sure there was mroe than 100 zombies behind it :D

  • im glad charlie brooker was brave enough to go for the sad ending as opposed to the mass produced good ending

    good on him

  • i still cant believe she did the zombie part. i thought they replaced her with a look alike on the zombie parts

  • a blend of 28 day's later and george romero's dead films...with a splash of big brother thrown in...great

  • omfg ending wasnt funny, i found it was really sad =[ i mean that patrick's a fucking twat, and why they kill space.. space was awesome, and her bf got shot like 2 secs after he came in,, still rating 5/5 and getting dvd :P

  • ADAM DEACON FTW cuz

  • this was well good

  • Dead Set = Best UK show of 2008

  • dead set is one of the greatest shows ever made!!!!!!!!!!

    he's right, davina is a great zombie!!!!

  • when davina was running she looked really really stupid but she acted the best 100/100 davina owns

  • i felt like crying when she was running away from the zombie and the got caught and bitten, then sliding down the wall as she was dieing BUT this does teach you a lesson: never were high heels when running away from zombies! lol :D

  • too true.

  • I love Dead Set and i thought Davinas acting, especially in the beginning was really good. She looks good as a zombie as well. Lol.

  • she looks really scary as a zombie!

  • yh lol i no

  • in some of it it is funny to see the man running from davina zombie

  • was a great show, deffinately watching the next four, it was better than a lot of american zombie movies on a par with 28 days! camera was way to shaky though (on a par with 28 days!) and davina zombie? awesome! the image of her slumped up against a water cooler with her throat ripped out will haunt me forever! (i used to HATE Mika but watching a hoarde of ravenous zombies storming down a blood drenched corridor to "Grace Kelly" totally changed my opinion of the song haha)

  • I'm not one for zombie films let alone a zombie show, but the first episode was bloody brilliant!! Davina's cameo was ingenious!!

  • first was funny

  • great idea!

  • Charlie Brooker is great.

  • I Don't Know Why But... I Cannot Watch Shaun Of The Dead... Im Fucking Scared Of It, But I Can Watch All Other Movies.I Swear Im Scared Of Those Blue Eyes Zombies Have... Cause All The Zombie Films I Like Zombies Don't Have Blue Eyes... Reply If You Have The Same Problem

  • lol i can watch all zombie movies except 28days later/28weeks later, i think its all in the eyes they're too convincing lol

  • I saw shaun of the dead and even though its part comedy i shat myself. Mind you, i was about 8 or 9. i hate zombie eyes...

  • Yeh, When Its Like Rage Virus With Red Eyes, I Love 'em... But When Its Them Blue Almost White Eyes I Shit Myself...

  • Obviously scared to the point of Starting Every Word With A Capital Letter.

    I hate Big Brother with a passion and I love Charlie Brooker. I don't know if I'll watch this. Unless of course the whole thing is intended as a jab at reality TV then it's automatically great.

  • it is

  • Well he said that he's essentially replacing the Shopping Mall from Dawn of the Dead (which was a social commentary on consumerism), with what takes the nations attention nowadays. So it's a commentary on fame.

    (Notice that the first reaction of housemates is that they're worried that no-one saw them on TV, rather than the fact that most of their friends and family, along with aquaintances are dead. Thus musing on the callous shallowness of the fame game.)

  • 27th October........ I can't frigging wait!!!

  • nope, this monday, cant wait lol

  • No it isn't. It's on the 27th.

  • ME TOO!!!!

  • She really is very, very good.

    (i know ive not made a comment but them 2 were dicks =D )

  • I cannot. FUCKING. Wait.

  • tru dat blud

  • lmao

  • wooooow, i got tickets for the premiere in cardiff(H)

  • Livingston!!

  • as opposed to Bathgate?

  • 6 and two 3s for me really, just back from seeing it, pretty, that producer is the funniest thing in it

  • "Im coming to get you!" will never sound the same again.

  • lol , indeed it will

  • love davina cant wait to watch dead set

  • GEEK!

    I mean that in the most sincere great way possible, these tid bits behind the scenes have just endeared Brooker to me more. He has now shown both the hilarious cynicism (Screenwipe) and joyous enthusiasm that make a true, lovely geek. I hail him King Charles I of Geekdom, may he reign until the seas boil and Star Wars Episode 7 is released :/

  • Combining zombies and big brother is like dipping a nice cake in liquid manure. I really hope this turns out good

  • Re: Frog154

    I hope you mean the nice cake is Undead Horror Movie aspect as its Big Brother that is shite

    Dead Set for the WIN tho

    :-P

  • charlie brooker is really good he delivers so much genious into the film and director atmosphere and i am a zombie lover myself and i i can tell if a zombie is gunna be good or utter shit, but this looks really really

    good !! im actualy looking forward to something that looks as good as the hyped :D

  • I (L) Charlie Brooker, this guy keeps delivering.

  • Please don't make me like Davina. I don't think I could bear it.
