Originally called "Diary of the Dead" (damn you George Romero!  We had that title first!), this is another TV show me and Andrew came up with: one series of six half hour comedy documentaries (or should that be “mockumentaries?”) about the trials and tribulations of every day monsters and beasties living and working in modern Britain.

Here's what we had to say about it...

Imagine what it would be like if the horror stories that entertained us suddenly became common-place in Middle-England.  How would we, as an educated civilised country deal with serial killers rising from the grave (yet again!), or a town infested by zombies?  We would of course send in a documentary film crew wouldn’t we?

Blending social commentary with some conventional horror themes (The Exorcist, Friday 13th, Dawn of the Dead), “Diary of the Dead” is a collection of six half hour black-comedy/documentaries featuring “what actually happened” when Britain came under the grip of supernatural phenomenons.

Come with us as we find out how low vampires stoop when completely hooked on blood, or spend an evening with a loveable old medium who becomes somewhat of a celebrity after finding she can communicate with the dead via text messages on her mobile phone.  Plus follow an ambitious MP as he flies in to a quarantined town with the promise of giving the town’s fifty per cent zombie population the vote.
