Black Mirror Premiered on Channel 4 on December 04, 2011



Black Mirror is a hybrid of The Twilight Zone and Tales of the Unexpected which taps into our contemporary unease about our modern world. The three stand-alone dramas will be sharp, suspenseful, satirical tales with a techno-paranoia bent - all audacious ‘what if' stories: some comic, some shocking.

That has to be the strangest ransom demand ever for a princess and to be aired live at 4 PM is just ridiculous and trying to fake it costing the princess her finger, that new reporter was very lucky she only got shot in the leg and the images of a ghost town as the time approached was disturbing but she was released 30 min before the airing unharmed was bizarre

That might of been a nice futuristic place but what a boring life and what a strange talent show with one of the the judges wanting Abby to lift her top to show her breasts, what Bingham did to get them to listen for what they did to Abby was bizarre

What an idea to have memory implants to record everything people see, do and hear and to be able replay what someone might of said and done to prove the were lying the first time would be interesting, what Liam did was terrible but seeing the image of his wife in their bad confirmed she slept with him after they were married

Ash being killed returning the hired van was tragic especially being the day after they move in to their new cottage but Sarah suggestion about using all his previous on-line communications to create a new, alarmingly ‘real’ Ash to help alleviate her grief was creepy and the life like doll was out of this world

If Victoria waking up and not being able remember anything about her life wasn't bad enough and then everyone trying to kill her or enjoying filming her discomfort but it's a good job the girl came back for her bag, what a twist it was all to teacher her a lesson for what her and her boyfriend did

Waldo on the side of the van was great but following the the politician around and getting under his skin was amusing

Matt providing Harry with dating advice was different especially as they were watching as she was killing him, you have to fell sorry for the clone after Greta made a computer clone of herself to run her household, Joe discovering that Beth had "blocked" him from her life after getting pregnant was taking the digital life to a whole new level but the fact he wasn't the father was sad

Really good episode.

I hadn't realised it was only 3 episodes but this first episode was strange that was unusual demand and the fact he went through with it save the princess was tough but her being released 30 minutes before was interesting yet no-one noticed until afterwards   .

Seeing the aftermath was also interesting

I am just trying understand what was point of this episode it seems have a go at talent show producing talentless people but 15 million just for a tickets seems a bit steep and what a boring life .

Everyone being obsessed with getting high ratings was over the top and Lacie did seem obsessed but with a 20% discount on offer to buy the home she's always dreamed of you can understand why, the trouble at the airport and the hire car was really bad luck but she should of stayed away from the wedding

If Cooper sneaking off in the early hours wasn't bad enough but doing it to avoid facing his mother after the death of his father was just sad and ignoring all her phone calls was cruel, signing up to playtest a new VR game was risky with them doing an implant and the whack-a-mole was amusing but costing him his life was surprising

Kenny was asking for trouble downloading that malware program and hacking his webcam you just knew they would blackmail him but giving them his phone number was only going to make things worse, getting them to rob a bank was going to far especially with a gun

Mackenzie Davis must like playing these vintage characters, the way Yorkie was seduced by free-spirited Kelly was nice at first but going back every week to try and find her was sad and the town being for terminally ill patients to live out their lives after their gone was different

Stripe picking up that gadget after his two kills first time out was unfortunate as the army implants distorted what they seen when looking at Roaches

Jo eating the hate cake was risky when she's the most hated woman in the UK but her death was violent and over the top for a reporter and the husband saying it was self inflicted seemed a little far fetched, toxicology finishing the cake when it was found to be clean was amusing but a second and third death from an artificial bee was scary as they couldn't do nothing to save the third victim and the total death toll was unbelievable
