brokenmnemonicI discovered completely by accident that a new series called Zomboat started airing on ITV last week. The episodes are half an hour long, and follow four characters trying to escape from Birmingham during a zombie outbreak. It's definitely not the Walking Dead, and it made me laugh more than once. It's both very aware of what it is - and the topic of zombie films and their tropes comes up more than once - while at the same time displaying the incongruity of actually finding yourself in the middle of a zombie outbreak in modern Britain. If you fancy a watch, the first episode is up on Youtube:
Why is it called Zomboat? Well, haven't you always wondered if you could escape a zombie outbreak on a canal barge?
