Anyone in the UK see last night's new three-part series In The Flesh on BBC3? It's an interesting take on the zombie theme set in the near future.
Following the "Rising" where dead people rose from the grave and attacked the living, zombies (called "rotters") have been contained and are now classed as Part-Deceased Syndrome sufferers, treated with drugs to stimulate brain activity and contain their killer instinct. The Government believes it can resettle them back into society. The series centres on a family in a small rural community who secretly take back their PDS son. Only problem is the human natives are still hostile, having kept their own vigilante Human Volunteer Force to protect themselves during the Rising, so the son's return is being kept secret.
Not your normal story but entertaining nonetheless.
