1	* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: It's Creator/CharlieBrooker, so there’s lots of these, but a special mention goes to Pippa - "We were locked in a room, and he done a poo, and it stank!" Patrick’s response - "What the ''fuck'' is ''wrong'' with you?"
2	* HarsherInHindsight: The show saw a sudden surge of new interest during the 2020 UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic as real life ''Series/BigBrother'' contestants, isolated from the outside world, actually did end up being among the last to find out about the global outbreak.
3	* MoralEventHorizon: Patrick the producer is pretty mean from the get-go, but to really hammer this home the first episode shows him ''throwing'' a man ''in a wheelchair'' into the path of a zombie.
4	* NightmareFuel:
5	** The final shots of [[spoiler:zombie Kelly staring directly at you through dozens of TV monitors]] will ''haunt'' you.
6	** [[spoiler: Marky, Veronica and Kelly surrounded by the zombies, who have all spilled into the 'runs', tapping violently on the windows]].
7	* RetroactiveRecognition:
8	** [[Music/RizMC Riq]] would later be known as [[Film/RogueOne Bodhi Rook]] nine years later.
9	** American viewers might recognize Danny from ''Series/{{Scorpion}}''.
10	* SpiritualSuccessor:
11	** The show can be considered an unofficial self-contained story within any popular "[[OurZombiesAreDifferent Fast]] ZombieApocalypse" movie universe, like ''Film/DawnOfTheDead2004'' or ''Film/TwentyEightDaysLater''.
12	** Its social commentary and final shot with a zombie staring into the camera is strongly reminiscent of ''Series/BlackMirror''.
13	** Although it didn't happen in the end, it begs a mention that the makers of ''Film/{{REC}}'' also considered at one point having the real host of the local version of ''Big Brother'' play the main character.
14	* TearJerker: The death of [[spoiler:Riq]].
