The complete series of Black Mirror DVD box set


Black Mirror, a darkly satirical series that aired on Channel 4 in December, is a more serious statement. Over three discrete dramas – 44, 62 and 49 minutes long respectively – the programme explores the dark sides to our modern technological obsessions.
"The National Anthem"
In fact, this first episode, The National Anthem, reads like a condensation of all his past experience; it contains the cynical misanthropy of his old Guardian Screen Burn columns, a smattering of the profane and witty dialogue from his brilliant Nathan Barley comedy series, as well as the kind of behind-the-scenes insight into TV production that his work on programmes such as You Have Been Watching and 10 O’Clock Live may have afforded. One plot point even appears to pay homage to Brooker’s earliest beginnings on the mildly controversial 80s comic, Oink - though we’ll leave that particular reference for you to discover for yourselves.
"15 Million Merits"
The story followed Bing, played by Daniel Kaluuya of recent ‘Fades’ fame, who is bored of his monotonous life which consists of pedalling to earn Merits, the currency of the world. All of this changes when he hears fellow peddle pusher Abi (Jessica Brown Findlay from ‘Downton Abbey’ and ‘Misfits’) singing in the toilets. He is convinced that she could escape a life of toil by auditioning on reality TV show ‘Hot Shot’ and helps her to enter the programme.
"The Entire History of You"
The Entire History Of You explores the pitfalls of future technology. Given our current appetite for sharing carefully selected chunks of our personal lives on the Internet, the idea of people in the future recording and sharing memories isn’t too much of a stretch, and the way the episode depicts it is quite convincing, and extremely eerie. If you are a fan of Black Mirror, you can now get the complete series of Black Mirror DVD box set at the affordable price. Lucky for you!
