Nathan Barley comes to TV

i'm what's known as a "background zombie"

new user name for you there.

(or me, if you don't snap it up first.)

Or a useful phrase for an ILX Lurker?

splendid idea!

ach, it was only on for half hour tonight totally wasn't expecting that.

still enjoying it.

watched last night's, and about 10 minutes of tonight. that'll be it for me. it's so fucking dull. beyond the basic premise -- big brother! zombies! -- there's absolutely nothing there, is there? the characters are ciphers, the action is predictable, the outcome interests me not a jot.

(and i appreciate what chewshabadoo says upthread about the characterisation improving, but i can't be arsed waiting around for that to happen!)

the installments are too short. would have been cool 90 minutes than two 60 minutes.

looks quite good for the budget. Obviously going off that whole current-horror movie thing with the fast cutting, the handheld, the shutter speeds etc..., but it's fine. Hardly groundbreaking or terribly inventive so far, but still a really enjoyable zombie horror by my standards. Glad the satire hasn't really got in the way of anything.

lol at Pippa telling that producer guy he was using up the oxygen

"it's not a fucking submarine"

Dead Set - E4 Big Brother Zombie thing!

is this out of print on DVD? anyone know where i can order it, preferably cheaply, and have it shipped to the US? (it's ridiculously expensive on amazon.co.uk.)

if you know how to use torrents then you can get it on http://thebox.bz/ - i think they have open sign up just now but if you need or want an invite then give me a shout.

It *is* out of print, aggravatingly (my copy was scratched when I lent it to someone). It went from being stacked in every HMV for 5 pounds to being tough to find in a matter of weeks, seemingly. The first 2 Charlie Brooker books are similarly tough to track down!

Sold my copy of Brookers' TV Go Home book for £40 on eBay, to none other than... actor Michael Fenton Stevens

£40?! That makes it the most valuable book I own!

the DVD is awesome. comes with that booklet and so many extras on the DVD itself. torrents don't really compare to the whole package.

true true, my friend ran off te manchester wit mine. bitch.

keep it foolish yea

oh great, downloaded this as a torrent and none of the files work AWESOME thanks internet go die.

Not amazing quality, but perfectly watchable.

thanks, yeah, i know (that's where i saw them the first time). problem is my wife wants to watch it, and for reasons i can't go into here (or fathom) she hates watching video on the computer.

saw this just before christmas in hmv and bought it thinking it was out of print. amazon has cheaper copies so i guess they've repressed it, or whatever you do with dvds. bum.

still a great dvd to own.

hell, I don't think I have a region-free player hooked up now, I might have to copy this over to my pc

i'm not a preacher man

keep it chopped out, yeah?

Toby, you rim-licker. How's it fucking collapsing?

well fucking weapon
