The BBC turns its hands towards the zombie genre...a recipe for disaster?!?
But...no, most definitely not.
There are moments of such controlled tenderness that tears will well up in your eyes...without spilling. Is this really about zombies?!?
The writing is mature and strides down some truly bold avenues. The direction is crisp and precise with some stunning photography.
This oozes talent...from every department...special mention must be given to Mr Newberry, for a special performance.
Please...don't dismiss this as a stupid zombie story; discrimination, denial and fanaticism are given fevered voices...
But, ultimately, this is about the lost and the ostracized.
And, those welling tears - by the end - will become a waterfall.
Update: The BBC in its incomprehensible wisdom have cancelled this...wow, an institution polluted by moronic TV execs.
