Davina to guest star
More details regarding the new E4 zombie thriller ‘Dead Set’, which is based around a fictional series of Big Brother, have been confirmed.
The drama is to air in five parts - a 60 minute premiere episode, followed by four 30 minute instalments. BB host Davina McCall and ’several former Big Brother housemates’ will make cameo appearances.
Jaime Winstone and Andy Nyman will star in the series, which was written by Charlie Brooker (Nathan Barley, Charlie Brooker’s Screen Wipe) and directed by Yann Demange (Secret Diary Of A Call Girl).
E4 has released the following synopsis of the show:
The drama is set in a Britain where the walking dead are attacking the living. It stars Jaime Winstone (Donkey Punch, Goldplated) as a production runner working on a fictional series of Big Brother who tries to fend off the walking dead alongside the remaining housemates, her producer boss Patrick (Andy Nyman, Severance) and boyfriend Riq (Riz Ahmed, Britz).
In Dead Set the Big Brother house suddenly becomes one of the few remaining safe places in the country, with the contestants blissfully unaware of the horrific events unfolding outside. Until an eviction night where all hell breaks loose…
Over the ensuing days, in a cruel echo of the game show that they thought they were entering, the contestants fall victim, one by one, to the hungry masses outside. Staying alive requires teamwork – which is tricky when you’re a group specifically selected by TV producers to wind each other up.
Brooker said: “Just as a shopping mall was the ideal setting for the original Dawn of the Dead back in 1978, so the Big Brother house seemed fitting for a TV zombie epic set in the 21st century.
“Dead Set isn’t an out-and-out comedy, but an unashamedly populist horror-thriller with blackly comic undertones. Think 24 with zombies. And housemates. And gore.”
Angela Jain, head of E4 and Big Brother commissioning editor, added: “Charlie Brooker is a hugely talented writer. It’s a real coup that he has penned something so unique for E4.
“Dead Set’s take on horror and the world of Big Brother will I hope, surprise and entertain viewers and be a real treat to watch.”
Meanwhile, a webpage has been put up on E4.com counting down to the launch of the programme’s website. The countdown page features a unique version of the BB eye logo, dripping with blood.
Clicking on this eye brings up a trailer for the show, which includes a clip of Davina talking to the (fake) Big Brother house on eviction night and the evictee leaving the house:
Dead Set begins later this month.
