In the U.K. I'm probably better known as a comedy writer - or certainly that's my background is in writing comedy.

"Proper work" usually involves performing a task you hate on behalf of people you'd gleefully club to death with a bull's knee if only it were legal to do so.

Obviously, you try not to repeat yourself so that forces you to re-evaluate what you're doing constantly [in Black Mirror].

Society? Can we trust us? Doubt it. We're probably not even real, as was revealed in the popular documentary The Matrix. That bloke next door? Made of pixels. Your co-workers? Pixels. You? One pixel. One measly pixel. You haven't even got shoes, for Christ's sake.

The logic for me, in writing it is that the different areas or different years are almost like different rooms.

I'm more pro-technology than people probably realize.

It's interesting, in the U.K., I'm known for doing comedy things, which often doesn't translate to the U.S.
