“Dude! No way! That’s a willow warbler!”
UK Channel Four, streaming now
Creator Ben Wheatley
Cast Jay Lycurgo, Buket Komur, Lewis Gribben, Viola Prettejohn
EPISODES 1.01-1.06 The premise
suggests out-and-out comedy: a bio-weapon spill which turns old folks at a care home into throat-ripping cannibals. Seasoned zombie fans may recall an undead Richard Briers shuffling along with a Zimmer frame in Cockneys Vs Zombies. However, the few chuckles Generation Z does provide are mostly engendered by exasperated disbelief.
