TV review: Zomboat!, ITV2

The six-parter looked cheap but then that's very much in the spirit of the zombie movie, which is to filmic DIY what putting up a shelf is to the real thing. All you need is a dozen shambling extras and a street cleared temporarily of gawpers and if you've a half decent script you can let your characters do the rest. Miller's script is more than half decent and with Plebs (another cheap looking show) now returned for a fifth series, ITV2's comedy roster is looking a lot healthier than Birmingham's plague-afflicted undead.

The zombie apocalypse comes to the Midlands in this gore-filled comedy about two pairs of friends who find themselves escaping the carnage on a painfully slow canal boat from an infected Birmingham to the supposed safe haven of London. Zombie invasions may be a well-trodden premise but the writer and director, Adam Miller, uses meta-references to his advantage, turning the 30-minute show into a crossover between a wry sitcom and a fast-paced first-person shooter.

Steve Coogan lashes out at Top Gear trio

"We're very careful not to do that sort of bullying comedy." he said. "Which is picking on people who are weak, those who are genuinely weak, genuinely dispossessed or are genuinely victims. That's important, otherwise that would be bullying, and we'll leave that to the old presenters of Top Gear."
