Did any of you catch this three-part supernatural/zombie-based series on BBC Three? It just finished yesterday. I watched it all on iPlayer last night and really enjoyed it!

 

It's a twist on the usual zombie theme, in that zombies can be medicated/rehabilitated. They are referred to as having 'Partially Deceased Syndrome'. Beyond this, the series focuses on prejudice and tolerance within a community.

Not watched it, but that trailer makes me really want to! :w00t:

 

And Ricky Tomlinson's in it, so that's a plus! :D

I still need to watch episode 2 (& obviously 3), but the first episode was really good! So much potential. I love the whole spin they put on the usual Zombie theme.

I thought this was a huge let down, a great concept poorly executed.

Info

Set after a zombie outbreak in the fictional village of Roarton, teenager Kieren Walker is re-animated along with thousands of other dead people. After months of re-rehabilitation and medication, the zombies are judged ready to be returned to their homes and families.

Emmett Scanlan (Brendan Brady) has joined the cast of the second series.

It's been axed :cry:

Oh that's a shame, it ended on a cliff hanger too. :(

 

I think I preferred The Fades to In The Flesh though, which was axed after one season.

There's a possibility of this coming back for a one-off special.

 

Creator Dominic Mitchell posted on Twitter today that he's considering crowdfunding for an episode! Apparently the episode will deliver closure from the previous cliffhanger.

Fingers crossed. In the meantime, series 1 and 2 are currently available on the iPlayer.
