I just watched Charlie Brooker's zombie thing.
It was absolutely shit.
I don't know what it was trying to be.
What are you watching on TV? Page 619
Aww! I liked it!
It was just, a sort of zombie horror, with a bit of black comedy and a bit of satire about BB etc... wasn't it?

It felt more to me like he'd made a comedy version and a serious horror version and spliced them both together randomly. It just had a weird feel to it. I wasn't over-impressed with the writing either tbh. I do really like Screenwipe though, so I'm disappointed.
One plus point though - Kevin Eldon is brilliant. He's so naturally funny he could do just about anything and be brilliant.
Yes, Kevin was great, as always.
My favourite was the bloke playing the producer I think. He was brilliant!

Did you see him on BBLB? He didn't have that tache. He reminds me of a cross between Nick Frost and Ricky Gervais.

Looks like I'm in the minority on this one then!
Nope, didn't see him on BBLB. As in this series of it?
Haven't watched any.
Never seen him apart from in Dead Set. Apparently he is a magician? Or something. And is bezzie pals with Derren Brown.

He was in The Crooked House, the Gatiss thing, as the chubby faced friend in the first story. Looked very different to how he did in Dead Set.
He wassss?
I really will have to watch that all again. I even missed seeing Derren Brown on that.

Wow, now that's pretty darn cool. Though I don't think I'd wanna be Derren Brown's mate tbh, it'd make you so paranoid he's trying to read your mind all the time. Maybe this guy's got strong enough powers to protect himself from Derren though?
Bout to mindlessly watch Dave and eat a slice of cake.

Yeah, he was on yesterday's episode, with the blonde bimbo woman who was living in the house.

Ah yes, as they're both uber magical they must have mind wars like what those two beardy old men did on Lord of the Rings.
(I believe I woke up just long enough to see those few moments at the cinema.)

I didn't recognise Brown, but was apparently one of the married couple you saw in the last story who are trying to get a baby. Didn't have any lines or nowt, just turned round once.
