Zombies!

This is an exciting article from Variety. It's about a reality show that combines zombies and Big Brother.

"Dead Set" imagines Britain beset by a zombie apocalypse where the only place of sanctuary is the "Big Brother" house -- that is, until eviction night when all hell breaks loose as the contestants come under attack.
The best part is here:

"The idea for 'Dead Set' arose in 2004 while I was watching '24,'" says Brooker. "Jack Bauer was performing a tracheotomy on a terrorist with a splintered peg or something, and another terrorist came running through the door.

"'I'm enjoying this,' I thought, 'but these terrorists are just ridiculous. They're like waves of Space Invaders. They might as well be zombies.'

That's the best summing up of 24 I've heard. I hope we get this show here in the US.
