    The Ground work for Shaun 9f The Dead?

    Tim and Daisy accompany Brian to the one man show, performances by his former artistic partner, Vulva.

    I absolutely loved the opening scenes, absolutely brilliant, I can definitely see where the idea of Shaun of The Dead came from, I wonder if this one had any hand in Pegg's ideas.

    It was quite funny, I'm not sure about the character of Vulva, Walliams was wonderfully over the top here, as you'd expect in such a part. I was so glad Tim reacted the way he did, I think we all wanted to do that.

    I like that we see Brian spring into life, Heap was very good here, a few laughs courtesy of Marsha as well, love her acting.

    6/10.

    Who knew it would become an Origin Story?

    In this episode, Simon's killing zombies in a video game, and seeing them lurch towards him in other places. Nick is wandering in a drug stupor. The birth of Shaun of the Dead???
