My continuum? Blimey! For me,Black Mirror is all part of the whole.

I'm not some anti-technology person. I think it's often how people would assume that if they don't know me.

When you look at things like social media, that's an immensely powerful tool that I'm all in favor of. I think it's amazing. It's a powerful tool, and it's one that we're, as a species, still grappling with learning to use. It's like we've grown an extra tail and we inadvertently lash out and knock over all of the furniture.

The internet's perfect for all manner of things, but productive discussion ain't one of them. It provides scant room for debate and infinite opportunities for fruitless point-scoring: the heady combination of perceived anonymity, gestated responses, random heckling and a notional “live audience” quickly conspire to create a “perfect storm” of perpetual bickering.

On the other hand [making a string of one-off episodes], there's a real freedom, because you're kind of reinventing the show every week.

Generally I know that we've hit on a good idea if there's a moment where I'm going "HA HA HA!" because that's usually my starting point, me laughing.

Your grades are not your destiny: they're just letters and numbers which rate how well you performed in one artificial arena, once.
