TV Moments of 2011: Black Mirror



The Twilight Zone was mentioned a lot in the hype for this series from Charlie Brooker, but in the first of the 3 episodes, The National Anthem the show that immediately came mind was The Thick Of It - getting Malcolm Tucker involved might've been the only thing that could've improved this tale of a Prime Minister having to decide whether to fuck a pig on national television to secure the release of a beloved princess.

Fact fans may like to know this idea was originally from an idea published by Brooker 9 years ago in a Screen Burn column. Terry Wogan mustn't have been available.
