Do you think it will be any good?

Anyway it's a British 5 part horror series in the run up to Halloween. It is going to be the usual zombie type movie but around a Big Brother type experience. One of the tag lines I've seen is something along the line of 'the housemates have to work as a team to fend of the zombies whixh is not easy when you have been selected to annoy one another'.

I dunno could be good.

The drama is set in a Britain where the walking dead are attacking the living. It stars Jaime Winstone (Donkey Punch, Goldplated) as a production runner working on a fictional series of Big Brother who tries to fend off the walking dead alongside the remaining housemates, her producer boss Patrick (Andy Nyman, Severance) and boyfriend Riq (Riz Ahmed, Britz).
In Dead Set the Big Brother house suddenly becomes one of the few remaining safe places in the country, with the contestants blissfully unaware of the horrific events unfolding outside. Until an eviction night where all hell breaks loose…
Over the ensuing days, in a cruel echo of the game show that they thought they were entering, the contestants fall victim, one by one, to the hungry masses outside. Staying alive requires teamwork – which is tricky when you’re a group specifically selected by TV producers to wind each other up.

Apparently Davina McCall plays herself and turns into a zombie

It looks like 28 days later in the BB house.

I will be watching it
