Trailer for season 5 up now, back to 3 episodes for this season so hopefully that will help with quality control, some big names, looks like it might be a good one.

Hannah Montana in a Charlie Brooker show. What a world.

Jesus comes back to earth as a star wars hologram

I like that one of them appears to literally be about someone who is really annoyed that everyone uses their phones a lot.

Dead excited though. Last series had some absolute crackers, and Black Museum was a fantastic topper. Even though I wasn't too fussed by Bandersnatch, I really admire that they tried it. It's just lovely to see Brooker getting to work with these stars, put across his vision. People always remember him as the cranky fella who always slagged off TV, but his passion for genuinely good TV drama, American stuff especially, always shone through. It always makes me happy that there's such hype for Black Mirror.

If there aren't any wanking holograms I'll be really pissed off.

Yes! That's less than three weeks away, good news! And "good for her" to Miley Cyrus. Always liked her voice and the cut of her jib, and she reduced millions of balding men to tears with her superb rendition of "Say Hello 2 Heaven" at the Chris Cornell tribute. Looks like she's playing a character close to herself, so she'll probably be good in this.

Trailer looks promising, though it doesn't tell us much about the plots. The fed up man in the car instantly felt like classic BM, though. Looking forward to it.

Come on Netflix, I don't want to see familiar faces in my Black Mirror stories. The whole idea of the series it to transport me to somewhere new where things don't work in the same way, and discover all about it. Buying famous faces goes entirely against this.
Please use your budget on writers and production, not on casting hollywood stars. Nobody wants that.

dallasman

There's not going to be any writing or production this time? Fuck it then.

Is it? The last few seasons have had Bryce Dallas Howard, Jon Hamm, Jesse Plemons, among others. And even the early series have retroactively famous faces - Jodie Whittaker, Daniel Kaluuya, Domnhall Gleeson

It is spot off. Do the earlier episodes lose their sheen now the people in it are more famous? Rory Kinnear was pretty well known when it first started and it isn't like we don't all know they are actors

Ballad of Ballard Berkley


Crabwalk

Episode 3: A stand-up comedian with a history of sexual misconduct keeps getting his gigs cancelled because of social media outrage.

It's one of the jollier ones.

Plus Moriarty from Sherlock and the smarmy bloke from Spectre. The whole series is ruined.

Crabwalk

Oh shit, he's not in this too is he?

Black Mirror Season 5 Episode 6: Every actor is digitally replaced with Andrew Scott.

No it's not, you turnip.

This looks great. Three stories, though? Got to be slightly disappointing, even though Bandersnatch must have taken forever.

Does it end like the White Christmas episode? Blocked from life.

I wonder if and how often this came up during production of the Miley Cyrus episode: https://youtu.be/gPL-HzPdOsY

Not that Brooker doesn't have lots of experience working with people he's slagged off or that Cyrus hasn't had skin a mile thick since she realised Billy Ray's her dad. But I'd still like to know how that conversation went.

I don't know any of those names. Is it the cast of Mad Men. Brooker is really the epitome of liberal elite now.

No it's not, it's a massive overreaction.

An expected response from someone who holds polar opposite opinions to me on television. So, I accept your point of view but cannot agree.

"this looks great"

you've been brainwashed mate. Coddled by shitty sci-fi shows that fail to create any of the magic of the golden age of television, whilst presenting glossy actors and actresses as somehow colossi of their craft. It's water cooler shite extrapolated to liberal narcissism.

Same as me. I am Miley Pigus

Me too. Like I said, it's in indicator of quality.
