This will whet your appetite for season eight.

Manchester rapper Bugzy Malone probably loves The Walking Dead even more than you do. In fact, he’s released ‘The Walking Dead Riddim’, a new track – with a suitable gory accompanying video – to celebrate the upcoming eighth series. Set to the zombie drama’s terse instrumental theme tune, it sees him explain his love for the show, while weighing up the pros and cons of a post-apocalyptic landscape (mainly: the roads would be quiet so you could drive to the barbers more easily). Here, he spills his guts about his favourite TV show.

 Hi Bugzy! What inspired you to make a track about The Walking Dead?

I’m a massive fan of the show. I like how it shows the whole post-apocalyptic situation from a different angle – it’s very detailed and well put-together. You’re not just seeing the action; you’re seeing the effect it has on people’s lives. We had a lot of fun making the video. I really got into the character. I was a proper zombie [aka ‘a walker’] at the end.

Have you read the comics?

 No, I don’t follow the comics because I don’t want spoilers. I remember when Negan hit someone with a bat [creating a massive cliffhanger at the end of season six] and everyone was like, ‘Who’s he killed?’ I have friends that follow the comics trying to tell me but I didn’t want to know.

There’s a section on the track where you talk about your admiration of Carol [Melissa McBride]. Is she your favourite character?

 She’s gangsta innit! You’ve seen her develop over time; you’ve seen her go from being scared and submissive to taking things into her own hands. When she lost her daughter, that tipped her over the edge. Now she’s like this one mad soldier.

How do you think the show will end?

 Negan [Jeffrey Dean Morgan] has to go at some point, d’you know what I’m saying? Something’s gotta go…
