Dead or Un-Dead
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
Peter Serafinowicz's Noel Edmonds presents Dead or Un-Dead from a blood-red studio crypt, where contestant Sarah has already turned down the Undertaker's cash offer and keeps choosing chained, numbered coffins held by her fellow players. Noel chats to each holder, celebrates Nigel's lucky shirt and gets the studio and viewers at home to will a dead result, and the first two coffins open on skeletons to cheers and hugs. Sarah's last hope is coffin 13, which she needs to clear her debts, but the body inside is very much un-dead: a bloodied, bald corpse climbs out, shrugs off a blast from Noel's shotgun and starts eating the host as he tries to cut to a break.
