What we were also trying to do is vary the tone slightly across the season of Black Mirror, because there are six stories this time around, so you don't want it to just be the devastating, bleak-em-up.

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

Most writers or performers walk around with the notion in their head that - a paranoid worry that maybe people don't like them.

People gravitate towards their own era, nostalgia therapy is a real thing that's being tinkered with.

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

There's something I find very satisfying about a nice ironic twist.

What is useful about when there is a sort of pull-out to reveal moment going on is that it actually focuses the mind when you're writing the earlier scenes because you're thinking 'right, how do I? I can only show this amount of the room... I can only show these characters from the waist up because they've all got robot legs!' it's a challenge so it keeps you engaged on some level.
