Come the zombie apocalypse, there won’t be much time for pranks. Rio Ferdinand certainly won’t be spending his leisure time making any more windup television shows – not even Rio’s Judgement Day Jollies or Rio’s Armageddon Arse-Abouts or Rio’s Mankind, Your Time Is Up! or (that’s enough Rio Ferdinand TV shows – Ed) – and the only hoaxsters likely to show their faces will be deceased ones, risen from the ground by whatever it is that causes the undead to walk the Earth.

In fact, there’ll be little time for laughter at all, as any viewer of The Walking Dead will attest. So, if you get your kicks watching idiots pretending to be zombies and scaring the living crap out of people in Miami before getting a richly-deserved beating, enjoy the clip while the world is populated solely by the living – but remember, don’t try this at home. Or anywhere else.
