The Walking Dead is the show that nobody wants to die

The Walking Dead is one of the most popular TV programmes on the planet. Its star Andrew Lincoln tells Kate Whiting about life on a show that’s also famously gruesome.

IF The Walking Dead was a motor vehicle, it would be a huge American juggernaut, spattered with mud and zombie guts, and completely unstoppable.

Since its debut in autumn 2010, the show, based on the comic book series, has seen viewing figures triple in the US, been nominated for a clutch of awards and has even spawned a spin-off, Fear The Walking Dead.
