But our favourite genres don’t play by the rules. And currently, one of the most successful shows on TV has has “Dead” proudly in its title – The Walking Dead , which returned to UK TV on FX this week. And there have been loads of big screen dead successes too; we won’t list them here just yet because that would kind of give the game away. And while you can bet the marketing guys have Venn diagrams with circles labelled "comedy” and “Dead” that you could drive a bus between, sci-fi, horror and fantasy have scored numerous deadly hits.

By now, you may have cottoned on: this week’s mission is to identify 12 films and TV shows that have dead in the title. Simple as that. Except one, we reckon, will fox you all…
