The Walking Deceased follows a group of survivors from all walks of the apocalypse – an idiotic Sheriff with definite coma-induced brain damage, his hardass son, four squabbling friends forced to survive this zombieland together, and a lonely zombie who just needs love to fully regain his warm body. They all leave their once-safe hideout in search of the rumored Safe Haven Ranch, a refuge untouched by the zombie virus that has ravaged humanity. But despite the comforting name, they discover that this sanctuary may not be as welcoming as advertised.
Ok, so if you haven’t gathered by the title or by that synopsis, The Walking Deceased is a spoof of the zombie genre – more particularly of the fantastic Zombieland, AMC’s The Walking Dead...

ITV is expected to place a significant bid for the Premier League highlights rights for the 2016-19 seasons in the New Year, putting the future of Match of the Day in doubt.
ITV has recently lost the rights to Champions League, Europa League and Fa Cup football, meaning that they potentially have the extra budget to outmaneuver the BBC in the auction.
The 2016-19 season package is expected to sell for more than the £180 million paid by the BBC last time.
ITV has a team of presenters and pundits, such as Adrian Chiles and Lee Dixon, ready to take on the coverage if they snatch the rights from the BBC.
Match of the Day recently celebrated its 50th anniversary on the BBC, and it remains a ratings hit for the corporation with Gary Lineker as its main host.
However, it wouldn't be the first time that the BBC has lost the rights to ITV.

No, it wasn't Adrian Chiles's turn to do the Ice Bucket Challenge.
The ITV anchorman and his co-hosts had an unexpected shower when Swiss officials decided to turn on the sprinklers prior to tonight's (September 8) game between Switzerland and England.
In Defence Of... ITV Sport's World Cup coverage
Chiles was joined by Glenn Hoddle, Lee Dixon and Ian Wright to discuss England's chances going into their first Euro 2016 qualifier, when he realised that they were about to get a soaking.
The group unsuccessfully attempted to avoid the sprinklers, and Chiles signalled for a break soon after the incident.
He joked: "We're going for a break, we've just sent for a towel!"
Earlier this year, Chiles and Robbie Savage were voted among the most gaffe-prone football pundits.

Match of the Day celebrates its 50th anniversary this week, after launching back in August 1964 with a game between Arsenal and Liverpool.

To celebrate this, Digital Spy has collated its own Premier League table of Motd icons from past and present. Using a (likely contentious) points system based around football knowledge, longevity on the show and a certain 'magic factor' that makes them a warm presence on our screens, this is our just-for-fun chart of the biggest names in its history.

The battle of the pundits between the BBC and ITV at recent major tournaments has been something of a one-sided competition.
Poor old ITV. A bit like watching England taking part in a penalty shoot-out - no matter who they tried giving the ball to, they always ended up fluffing it on the big occasion. However, in 2014, something seems to have changed.

I never thought I'd ever say this, but ITV aren't as bad as everyone makes out when it comes to live football. Hear me out - it's not as crazy as it may first sound.
For years, I've been baffled that anyone would choose to watch ITV over BBC One if given the choice. However, as this year's World Cup has proved so far, both channels have had their fair share of gaffes and errors.
The BBC is pretty stellar when it comes to live tennis, snooker, athletics and many other sports, and Match of the Day is clearly light years ahead of ITV's The Premiership, but has ITV suddenly gained back some ground this year?
There's probably two words that you're thinking which throws out my argument: Adrian Chiles. The former BBC man has become the face of ITV football, possibly because they're stuck with him and don't know where to plonk him.

Brazil; a country famed for its sunshine, vibrancy and unrivalled passion for the beautiful game. What do we give it in return? Adrian Chiles. It hardly seems like a fair deal.
Is it any surprise that Chiles and his ITV team found themselves under fire from Brazilian members of the public, who pelted the ITV glass studio? We've had to suffer Chiles and Andy Townsend's "top, top" commentary cliches for years, so count yourself lucky guys.
Of course, the studio attack wasn't really about the arrival of Adrian Chiles's face on Brazilian soil. It was actually about deep-rooted political and social unrest and the fact some people are not happy at the money that has been pumped into the 'carnival of football'.
However, give the Brazilians a month of ITV Sport 'banter' and the terrible twosome of Tyldesley and Townsend and they'll soon realise that there are things much...

The opening episode of Britain's Got Talent was delayed this evening (April 12) by ITV's coverage of Fa Cup football.
The semi-final tie between Wigan Athletic and Arsenal went to extra time and penalties, resulting in Britain's Got Talent starting 45 minutes later than scheduled at 8pm. Arsenal emerged victorious.
The news was met with anger from some enthusiastic fans of Simon Cowell's talent show, while others hoped that the episode would be delayed indefinitely. However, most took the opportunity to joke about the situation.
Take a look at some of the best reactions to the delay below:

Even the best football movies struggle to capture the sport's drama on film. The worst (and there are many) are truly abysmal
Why has cinema found football to be such a tricky customer? Football scenes in film and television are traditionally very awkward affairs, with the "defenders" tip-toeing nervously around the "attackers" as they advance, the goal finally coming via the sort of impractical flying volley you just never see on a real pitch. It's clearly very difficult to let someone score a script-dictated goal while pretending to try to stop them but, at the same time, trying not to look like you're pretending to try to stop them. Perhaps they teach it at Rada, who knows?
Furthermore, filmmakers have the challenge of adding a fictional big-screen gloss to what is already an overwhelmingly camera-friendly and consistently dramatic spectacle in its own right. Real-life football already has its own "script...

Former Middlesbrough manager Gareth Southgate has been unveiled as the new England Under 21′s boss, signing a three-year contract, reports BBC.
The 42-year old former England international replaces Stuart Pearce who was let go following a disastrous performance at the recent Under 21 European Championship, where the Three Lions were knocked out at the group stage without registering a single win.
Southgate made over 50 appearances as an England player in a career that saw him play for Crystal Palace, Aston Villa and Middlesbrough who he captained to Carling Cup success in 2004.
Since leaving his role as manager at the Riverside Stadium, Southgate was appointed as the Fa’s Head of Elite Development before leaving the post in July of last year.

Arsene Wenger took charge of Arsenal in 1996 and so far over a glittering career in North London has amassed a total of 11 trophies.
But he will not be winning any more.
At the age of 63, Wenger wouldn’t have the time for further success, never mind the necessary backing, and Arsenal will continue to fall further behind the rest of the Premier League elite.
Just like his rival Sir Alex Ferguson, Wenger will be used to getting the support of those whose opinions actually mattered throughout his Arsenal career, but no longer, and the Frenchman is under severe pressure from the fans like never before. They’re now looking at another season without a trophy, with the last one coming back in the 2004/2005 season for the Fa Cup, and at this stage, a fighting chance of qualification for the Champions League is all he has to concentrate on.
Non-qualification can only end one way,...
