Aaron. You've never seen American Werewolf? :O Goddam. That's amazing. You MUST watch it. You will love it.

Name almost any film, and I've not seen it.

An American Werewolf in London had a massive effect on me, when I first saw it as a kid. It was one of those things I shouldn't really have been watching, because I was so young, but I somehow managed to see it. That scene, on the London Underground, where the bloke in the suit is being chased, scared the shit out of me. Then, of course, there was also the amazing scene, in which the main character changed into the wolf.

Exactly the same for me. :)

Amazing film I remember shouting "Don't go onto the mooooooooors boys!!" lol didn't have a kissy huggy ending either which is a nice change :)

That was brilliant I thought; and surprisingly gruesome for a TV show! When that zombie had his head fully caved in! Bad ass!!

I thought it was excellent. My only complaint is that the hottest women - Sexy Asian and Sexy Goth - got killed early on.

It enhanced my enjoyment by not having an on-screen DOG, or banners, or any other pop-ups. Also, I agree with the decision not to have end credits, why bother, the broadcasters always go out of their way to shrink them to unreadability so they can advertise what's coming on next. The lack of end credits didn't give them a chance to do any of that! Good stuff!

Thanks, I'll look forward to watching the show with zero surprises now.

Yay! It did not disappoint. It was excellent. Loved the the credits being removed. although hope this doesn't become a trend (purely on the basis that I want to see my name in credits one day LOL).

He gave us what we wanted to; the previous house mates being slaughtered in one big room.

The best character was the weasely producer. And even the Davina cameo wasn't as bad as I'd feared.

It got 1.4 million last night, which is bloody good. Did you see what I did there?
