** Considering how the zombies had just ripped David apart before she charged in, their attention may have been solely focused on the fresh body, ripped into chunks and spread across the crowd, that got their attention so well that Dianne could march right through them and survive unscathed since in the zombies' heads, there were way easier food to get within reach and in limited supply so it was "First come, first served", until Shaun and company made enough ruckus inside the bar to draw them in as well.

** The real answer is probably somewhere between "they're all panicking and a bit too charged with adrenaline to think of it", "it wouldn't have been as exciting to watch" and "it would have been a little bit ''too'' close to what happens in ''Film/NightOfTheLivingDead''. But do note that things start happening fairly quickly once John the Barman's been taken care of; they get the gun, the zombies start breaking in, Barbara reveals she's been bitten, dies, turns into a zombie, Shaun is forced to shoot her, the blow-up with David happens, and then the zombies crash in and shit really hits the fan. No one really has time to bring it up and discuss it as a possible option before something else happens to get their attention until they're trapped behind the bar.

** Zombie Pete presumably doesn't associate the various noises he / it hears with the concept of "something I can eat" until Shaun actually enters the bathroom, so has no reason to move. They'll be muffled by various doors, walls, ceilings and just generally occurring on different levels of a multi-storey house, remember.

* It's all very well and a little unfortunate that Pete turned in the bathroom before he could shower but why does he remain standing there until Shaun mentions they're borrowing his car? All the commotion downstairs regarding the one-armed groom zombie, plus Shaun and Ed literally calling out his name should have gotten his attention and drawn him downstairs. I know that zombies by themselves aren't all that aware of their surroundings, hence Mary not paying Shaun and Ed any attention until Ed literally flings a rock at her, but the zombified couple who owned the pub clearly heard the gang through at least one door.

* Ed and presumably Shaun know about the cellar under the Winchester, so once John the barman has been dealt with, why don't the group just quickly hide there before the zombies can break in, rather than trying to hold them off with one rifle? They know they've only got 29 shells and that's not going to keep the horde at bay for long; if the zombies don't see them going into the cellar and they've apparently vanished without a trace, they can just sit tight and wait for the zombies to go somewhere else. And yes, Barbara would inevitably have turned and Shaun's grief and the resulting stand off between the characters would likely have attracted attention from upstairs, but the characters don't know that, so there's no reason for them not to have decamped to the cellar in the first place.

** It's implied that it's Noel, the obnoxious assistant from Shaun's work, trying to score some weed. He speaks on the phone to a friend of his during work hours, mentioning that "I spoke to him; he ain't got nuffin'," (the conversation which prompts Shaun to upbraid him for personal conversations in work hours, only to receive a call from Liz). We know Ed "deals a bit of weed," and in that conversation outside the pub he repeats that he has "nuffin'." I am pretty sure that you can hear Noel's voice if you listen closely enough. [[spoiler:He turns up in the final TV montage as the zombie pushing trolleys in the supermarket car park.]]

** Nice or not, many people sell their parents' houses after they die partly because they've made their own lives and homes outside of the parental one and partly because they simply can't face living / being there with so many constant reminders and memories of their deceased love one(s). Given how close he was to his mum, it's fairly safe to assume that Shaun would be one of the latter especially, and he and Liz simply stayed on in the rented house until they found a new place. Alternatively, they could have ended up buying the rented place -- there's a reasonable chance that Shaun's landlord could have been a victim of the ZombieApocalypse and it was going cheap in the post-apocalypse confusion. And they seemed to have done the place up fairly nice by the end, probably no doubt partly due to having a 'woman's touch' now that Liz is living there instead of three guys living together like previously.
