Oriental.

I don't think his nationality was ever stated.

Also given that the whole of the UK is deserted there were a number of rather unlikely coincidences, like the near car crash, the girl finding that bloke lying on the embankement - yadda yadda etc etc - poorly written rubbish

Oh and the smelly welsh paraffin who drove the Rolls in the original series is now played by Max Beesley but not in the style of a smelly welsh paraffin obviously.
Plenty of places in London (where a lot of scenes took place) where you'd find a mix like this.

I'm actually not too bothered about positive images of certain sectors of our population, and can see how it benefits society. I certainly wouldn't want to swap my life chances with those who have to survive certain inner-city estates. What does annoy me though, is that they have one white adult male in the group, and guess who they've chosen to be the scum? He could have been any of the 1000s you see every day who work and pay their taxes and contribute to society - bus drivers, accountants, publicans, IT workers, doctors, council workers, policemen etc etc. But no, the pyschopathic mass murderer has to be a white male doesn't he?

As for the programme moving slowly, I thought it sped up in the last half hour, and became somewhat gripping. I'll be watching further, I suspect.

I liked how everyone knew it was a flu type virus, yet still decided to go where lots of sick people are. Too dumb to live comes to mind.

It may have been better if they'd done it a few years ago. Since 28 days later there's been a deluge of films and TV stuff covering this topic. Rather bored of it all now.

There's even a Big Brother version (Dead Set), with Davina ffs!

Maybe the authorities are softening us up, knowing it's inevitable something like bird flu is going to cross over to humans and start knocking off lots of people sometime soon. More humane than a big war, so may be for the best, as a way of controlling the human-virus population. Where's my chemistry set....

They've still missed the wave with this remake, and are about to be drowned under it.
