Night of the Terribly Proper Dead

A narrator promotes a Merchant Ivory reinterpretation of the zombie film. An undead Hugh Grant knocks politely at a country house and stammers an apology for wanting to eat the occupants' brains, while Rupert Everett and Emma Thompson play a couple who treat boarding up their home as a pleasant hobby. When a second zombie crashes through the boards snarling, the couple chide him for being common and remind him that he is a guest. Michael Caine turns up as a constable who can only order the shambling dead to move along. By the end the couple have been bitten and join their visitors at a formal dinner, where Grant fusses over the quality of the brains served under a silver cloche.

The episode was Tim Conlon's last as a Mad TV featured cast member.
