This is going to be huge!Have you ever wondered how Cormac McCarthy’s wasteland novel The Road could be made into a reality show? No? Well someone who works in TV has, so here we are. Who knows if they experienced a follow-up thought: that the instinct to package the end of the world as entertainment might be the most dystopian aspect of the whole enterprise, but hey. Apocalypse (Sunday 13 September, 9pm, Channel 4) launches this week, and people are buzzing!It’s a slam dunk for a show, because we’ve all run the thought experiment.

They do have access to boarded-up supermarkets, desolate buildings, broken vehicles. How soon until they eat each other? Continue reading...
