The series is due to air at Halloween.
Oh, right, thanks prem - I thought it would start earlier than that as I saw that the DVD would be on sale from 3/11, and assumed that that would be after the final episode (spoilers and all that). Halloween figures though, I guess..
http://www.play.com/Channel4/DVD/DVD/RGNNR/3-/6059447/Dead_Set/Prod...
The website was due to go live at noon today, but it hasn't as yet - still showing countdown (at zero) and trailer.

Good news. A "fictional" Big Brother house. Sounds familiar.  |

Absolutely!
.....though some care will be needed in how this is used for marketing, for example
"UbA - designed by Aisleyne, worn by zombies! "
doesn't quite do it for me

| Have you seen the "housemates" bios yet?
I feel strangely drawn to support Veronica, the feisty 28 year old blonde who has ambitions to be a glamour model, actress and TV presenter when she gets out of the house.
Wonder why that is.....?
Is this going to be on the Deja Vu Channel? |

| I find the whole thing about Dead Set extremely uncomfortable and eerie, that said each and everyone to their own. Then again I've never been a fan of horror. Fantasy to some it may be but to me it's just disturbing. Far too gory for my eyes. Obviously Ash and Charlie are mates so naturally she was bound to appear in it. I'd love to see Ash on mainstream TV doing something dignified within the sphere of presenting. Something away from reality TV/Big Brother altogether. Will it ever happen? Is there someone out there willing to give her a chance? Who knows? |

| A "cinema trailer" (aka Trailer 1) is now on the e4 website
There are brief glimpses of THREE former housemates. You have doubtless already guessed who one of them is.
But who might be the other two? Have a look here (subject to usual caution about gory content - and link is to HTML version of Dead Set website )

So Davina stands to restore some of her lost credibility as a zombie. Judging by her interviewing skills, it has to be a positive move for her.

Including this - (Julian please note!! )
"If nothing else, Dead Set should set some new benchmark (or low point, depending on your point of view) for onscreen gore. There's a particularly explicit bit of skull-smashing in episode one, but that's nothing compared to what happens later. ........ I sincerely hope some of you vomit"

| As we know, the eviction of "Pippa" was filmed after the actual eviction of Belinda Belinda Belinda. Someone who was there has posted a number of pictures.
It looks to me that Pippa was wearing "Nakita" the famous snake dress (in black) from the Unique by Aisleyne range.

| The Times Online, dateline 25 October, (so this could well be in Saturday's paper version), has an EXTREMELY interesting report about Dead Set.
It was clearly compiled during the shooting, and includes some startling (though not altogether surprising ) revelations about Aisleyne's fate.
Charlie has some of his usual kind  words for Ash and Brian Belo, and also says who "Veronica" was inspired by (and it's NOT Aisleyne) .

| Very well written and performed drama based on Episode 1. Jamie Winstone is very convincing as the heroine. No expense spared on the gore and special effects! I thought I even caught one of the other (fictitious) housemates wearing Ash's MOBOs dress, but I could have been mistaken...

I would like to see the bits where Ash appears, though. Can anybody give me a guide to look for her in my fast-forwarding? Thanks Julian Well you see her a few times as herself in the first episode, then she doesn't appear again until the second half of the fifth episode, when zombie-Ash appears. However, if you want to try to spot Saskia you might have to watch the whole thing cos nobody has positively identified her yet.
Some think she is the one right at the end watching the TV in the mall, but my theory is that she was the zombie in episode four who attacked the girl (Alex) on the canal/river lock. It's all available for watchification here anyway. |

| I really liked Dead Set. Aisleyne was a good zombie.
Although I wish we could have seen more of Aisleyne in the Dead Set.
I was dissapointed in the ending though. I thaught perhaps one or two might get away at least.
Still i enjoyed it. I thaught it was a really good mini series.

Location: Stoke-on-Trent | That's an excellent picture. I wonder what the budget for make-up was and how long some of the characters took to have their make-up done? |

Quite a versatile young lady, is Kathleen, isn't she?

| My computer broke down just before the Dead Set series started. I began to think that zombies had something to do with it. Much belatedly I have to post how much I loved Dead Set, despite it's ending. I've watched it several times. Ash was magnificent. |

| Glad to be back ofni. Ash was perfect as herself and as a zombie. What I was most proud of as a fan of hers was her involvement in such a fantastic programme. It could have been so much longer and some bits could have been done differently. I only think that because I was so captivated by it. Patrick was my favourite character. Joplin should have won. |

| Dead Set is being repeated on e4 next week with episode 1 on Monday at 11pm, episodes 2/3 on Wednesday and episodes 4/5 on Friday. There are also latenight repeats, which seem to interlace with the nightshift repeats of Screenwipe on BBC4.
So plenty for insomniac Chaisleyne fans to while away the sleepless hours next week then. |

Good to see Dead Set on again for those who missed it. Surely it will be shown on Channel 4 at some stage. Naturally it's always great to see Aisleyne (alive or otherwise) on our screen. |

Charlie said in a recent Radio 1 interview that Dead Set will be repeated in January on Channel 4, to "tie in" with the next series of Celeb BB

| I've just acquired the DVD as a birthday present. 58 minutes of extras on it, although Aisleyne doesn't feature. You do get to see a bit of Eugene Sully (BB6) discussing how to pretend to be dead with your innards being chomped on by zombified Davina McCall, plus lots of Davina in make-up and doing her scenes. Some deleted scenes are included, plus interview with Charlie Brooker and behind the scenes with the amazing special effects team. They make plaster casts of actors faces and stuff....creepy.

| To coincide with CBB6, I see that "Dead Set" is getting a showing on Channel 4 in three episodes next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights.
When she gets back from Jamaica, I wonder which CBB6 housemates Ash would like to sink her teeth into? |

I had Dead Set for Christmas (good old Santa). No Ash extras, but worth having to see it all the way through without breaks. Those housemate characters are so good. They should be used again. Dead Set 2 - Big Brother before the zombies came. |

|
| I wonder what audience size the first episode of Dead Set will get tonight? Should be quite high, as it comes immediately after tonight's live CBB6, with nominations etc.
Correction:
Apparently the live nominations are in the second CBB6 at 11.05pm, which I'd guess should increase the audience figures for Dead Set, doncha think? |

|
| Hmm, an interesting little burst of about 40 guests in the last half-hour... |

| Did anyone else notice that 'Space' had miraculously risen from the dead last night and turned up in Casualty? Not a mark on him, either. |

Ditto Pippa in TONIGHT's Casualty!
So when is it Aisleyne's turn then? |

| That's interesting, innit?
Wonder if that's why Mr Brooker is red-carpeting it this evening at the RTS Awards?

Sadly, Dead Set didn't win, but at least the nominations clip they showed did feature "Nakita" from Aisleyne's fashion range.

Congrats anyway to Charlie and Co for being nominated. |

Dead Set gets another repeat run this weekend, starting at midnight tomorrow night on E4, after the BB10 final.
I was thinking about the impact of Dead Set and other parodies of Big Brother on viewers. Has it made people more cynical of Big Brother? It certainly made a mockery of the stereotypical wannabee housemate of recent years. And will you ever see eviction night in the same way again? I recall seeing a clip of Aisleyne in the BBLB studio and being concerned for her safety. It seemed so wrong seeing the housemates on Dead Set going into the camera runs and even leaving the complex, but I understand that it's happened in BB10 too. They've even had zombies in the house. You would think Charlie had wrote the script for BB10. |

As an old traditionalist, I welcome the repeat of Dead Set for those who haven't seen it and wish to be scared on Halloween. |
