Dead Set was really good, best zombie thing I have seen for years. I hope it gets shown on your side of the pond.
Can you help, I’m not exactely sure what sindication is. Is it not just a show that gets repeated on another channel. If so why is it looked down on and why does 100 episodes have something to do with it. It’s probably me being a bit thick;)

This is a good question to cover in the next podcast. Unfortunately, we just recorded one last night.

Syndication is when a show is sold to individual stations. It’s not done much anymore for first-run shows because we have so many channels when you include cable channels. The 100 episodes thing is for selling reruns as a syndicated package. A lot of stations run sitcom reruns to fill their hours.
We’ll have to talk about it briefly on the podcast some time.
