Charlie Brooker's zombie romp aired a couple of weeks ago and I managed to polish off all 5 episodes in one evening.
Good, tautly-made stuff actually, that, perhaps, inevitably owed a lot to Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later, even down to the grim, fluttery photography and speedy undead (I know 28's monsters were 'infected' humans, so don't start). Superb performances from Jaime Winstone and the bloke who played the tyrannical producer, good playing all round (bloody hell, even Davina McCall) and it's a stronger, tightly-made thriller than you'd expect.
If you can find it on an 'on demand' set-up, give it a go.
