* NoBudget: Filming was restrictive due to budget constraints. Some extras were redressed to play different zombies due to the cost of the contact lenses used as zombie eyes; and the scene in the second episode where Alex and Riq's car breaks down was originally meant to be an explosive car crash.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Creator/CharlieBrooker's original concept for the final episode was to have been set six months after the outbreak. It was scrapped due to budget constraints.

* InspirationForTheWork: Creator/CharlieBrooker said that the basic idea for the series came about in 2004, as he watched ''Series/TwentyFour'' and commented: "I'm enjoying this, but these terrorists are just ridiculous. They're like waves of VideoGame/SpaceInvaders. They might as well be zombies". Following this, he imagined an apocalypse occurring during the filming of ''Series/BigBrother'' and cited the Big Brother House as an excellent place to hide during a zombie apocalypse.
