Zombies and how to survive them--A Guide to British Comedy

I was just watching Shaun of the Dead on the weekend, and I went to Youtube to see if I could find the opening to the Simon Pegg/Nick Frost series Spaced which seemed to have been a contributing factor in the development of the film my weekend revolved around.

I found a hidden gem(at least for the North American audience I assume). It was an extra feature from the series Danger! 50,000 Volts from 2002, which was how to survive a zombie attack. Did I happen to mention the show was hosted by Nick Frost and his guest was a Dr. Fell, played by Simon Pegg? It is fried gold it is, fried gold!

Of course, knowing how you could survive a wave of beings that only want you for your flesh and are a little slow on the uptake could probably help a lot of people survive tomorrow night, especially those making the rounds of the party circuit, so watch it and learn, because no one wants to wake up the next day with a virus. No one.

Oh, and I did find that opening scene after all.
