Here's a chance to catch this British zombie series finally on American TV. Playing this week on IFC. Check your cable TV's programming schedule.

Dead Set (TV series)

Dead Set is a critically acclaimed BAFTA-nominated horror drama created by English writer Charlie Brooker. The series is set in the Big Brother house, and was first aired on E4 on 27 October 2008. The five episodes, aired over five consecutive nights, chronicle a zombie outbreak that strands the housemates and production staff inside the house, which quickly becomes a shelter from the undead.

Advertisements for the show were aired on Channel 4 and E4. The first episode, at its peak, received just under one and a half million viewers and 8.3% total audience share. The series was repeated on Channel 4 from the 6th to the 8th of January 2009, reformatted into three hour-long episodes.

The entire series was aired as a Halloween feature length (2.5 hours) version, showing all five episodes back-to-back in the UK on E4 on 31 October 2009. The series will once again be shown on Halloween in 2010, but it is unconfirmed whether it will be all five episodes in the week or the feature length version again. [1]

I've been enjoying this series on IFC every night at Midnight. Real spooky stuff. IFC will run all 5 episodes on Halloween night starting at 07:30PM.

I could see that. :)

Tonight is the finale episode. Its a very short series as each episode is only a half hour long. It incorporates the modern "zombie", the fast moving 28 Days Later type of zombie.
Again it can be seen this weekend on IFC.
