    You walked into that one Staggie!

    It was a 5 part series set in Glasgow in about 1999-2000 I think.

    I thought it was great at the time.

    I remember when the got pulled over by the police and the copper said "it's dangerous speeding, what would happen if Mist or Fog came on?" To the reply of "I'd switch Mr Foglights on". Well it was funny for me <laugh>

    Well it was funny at the time. Who was the darlin bur in it again?

    It was pure nostalgia that made me put it on. It's ****ing cringeworthy now watching it.

    A bit like the Highlander. Should be left in the past <ok>

    Did you ever watch Teachers on 4. That'll never get cringeworthy <ok>

    Aye, the first couple of series of that were top quality. I managed to nick them on DVD off my mate when he moved back to Inverness. It ended up getting ****e when that wee fanny off Gavin & Stacey was in it though.

    The boy Andrew Lincoln from it is in The Walking Dead on FX. Which is actually a lot better than I expected it to be.

    I haven't made mind up about The Walking Dead. I love a good zOmbie film and when I heard about this I thought perfect. It was good but I expected it to be better.

    Aye, it's quite slow burn for a Zombie thing. I heard that the second series is based on the better part of the graphic novel it's based on.

    My favourite Zombie film is called "King of the Zombies" from 1941 just because of a guy called Mantan Moreland. He's a ****ing comedy legend, well underrated.

    The production and acting In TWD is fantastic and I felt it was just the story that was lacking so that's good to know!

    I've not really watch the old darky voodoo films but I'll give a watch <ok>

    Best one for me has to be The remake of The Dawn of the Dead <ok>

    Aye the dawn of the dead one is good. That the one where she gives birth to a zombie baby and it eats it's way out of her?

    That's the one Venom. It's mainly based in a shopping mall. The wee lassie at the very begging freaked me out.

    Aye it's a good film. It's directed by the same boy who did 300 and Watchmen.

    I liked Day of the Dead. Probably the only Zombie film where you really want a Zombie to munch the **** out of everyone. Nearly every human in it is unlikable in some way and the only sympathetic character is a chained-up Zombie used in socialising experiments called "Bub".

    Yeah good shout V <ok>

    Remember the remake with Mena Suvari. Terrible terrible film and a ****ing ridiculous ending.

    Mena Suvari's a ****ing doll right enough <ok>

    I never saw the remake of that yet because I'd heard it was **** and I love the original. I saw Day of the Dead when I was about 7 or 8, the first Zombie film I can remember seeing.

    She's a ****ing honey. She made American Beauty worth watching just because she's a wee slut in it. Although apart from that and American Pie has she been in anything else?
