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.

I really don't want to sound like overly negative or critical of the Internet in general because I'm actually really quite pro-technology.

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

Technology by default became the thing that was a new thing that had swept in and was altering it everything.

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

In many ways, Big Brother is the present day equivalent of a 1980s Club 18-30 Holiday - flirting, sunbathing, silly little organised games, and lots of people you'd like to remove from the genepool with a cricket bat.

I'm trying to think overall. Some of our stories [Black Mirror], I think you're right in that they don't tend to have a message.
