Starring Jaime Winstone, Dead Set is E4's horror series in which the dead are returning to life and attacking the living. Curiously there are a few people left in Britain who aren't worried about any of this - that's because they're the remaining contestants in Big Brother. Cocooned in the safety of the Big Brother house, they're blissfully unaware of the horrific events unfolding in the outside world. Until an eviction night when all hell breaks loose...Kelly, a production runner working on a fictional series of Big Brother, finds herself trying to fend off the walking dead alongside her producer boss Patrick, boyfriend Riq and the remaining Big Brother housemates. Featuring cameos from Davina McCall and several former housemates, this is a cruel and twisted take on one of TV's biggest game shows.

List of episodes

S1E3 - Episode 3

Kelly, Marky and Space make it to the supermarket. While Kelly and Marky gather supplies, Space waits outside and encounters two policemen who threaten to shoot him as a looter. Kelly and Marky are chased out of the supermarket by two zombies; the police shoot the zombies, but one of them gets bitten, and his colleague shoots him. He tells the others that those bitten die and turn quickly into zombies. Spotting a wound on Marky's arm and thinking it is a bite, the policeman goes to shoot him too; unable to reason with him, Kelly picks up the other policeman's gun and shoots him in the leg. More zombies appear, and Kelly, Marky and Space escape in the van. Meanwhile in the greenhouse Grayson tries to comfort Angel, but when she stops breathing Grayson realises he needs to kill her in case she turns into a zombie, but he hesitates and is attacked by the now zombified Angel who bites him fatally in the neck. Joplin and Veronica manage to force Angel into the pool, and stab Grayson in the head just as Kelly and Marky arrive. Seeing that Zombie Angel is unable to get out of the pool, they realise that the zombies are not intelligent. Kelly shoots Angel with the police officer's handgun and vows that they will win against them. At the country house Riq turns on the television, and discovers the E4 Big Brother live feed is still broadcasting. Alex hears a French broadcast on the radio and determines that a rescue boat across the channel has been established, but has no doubt left, stranding them and any other survivors. Suddenly, just as hope begins to fade, Riq is relieved to see Kelly and the others on screen.
