Black Mirror | December 4 | Channel 4

[BukkakeNation]

this show is the realest thing that anybody manged to create in a long while.

[badfeng]

@briandpowers You'd get down with that pig, you sick bastard.

[TheRealJonas72]

Having only just watched the first episode, I gotta say this is brilliant (and bloody disgusting)!

[BelMorSk8]

song?

[pspjerry]

Whats got six legs and makes you laugh? Michael Callow fucking a pig.

[qwertypluss]

OINK OINK CALLOW

[MrNayl0r]

The Internet allows us to express ourselves truly. Looks like some people truly are ignorant disgusting fools.

[00roastedlampost00]

@MrNayl0r They're quoting the fictional Youtube comments shown on the first episode.

[MrNayl0r]

@00roastedlampost00 I know. I was talking about the Internet in general. You can see it everywhere :(

[surfin4]

really smart tv .....suprised they even let this be screened its an indictment of many things including the channel showing it

[Snorthington]

Name of the song?

[AmorphicS]

@Snorthington The rip by portishead

[spashieee]

@Snorthington

"The Rip" by Portishead.

[Dre36]

I didn't see the first episode. It seems this one (2nd) is all about consumerism and addiction. Very accurate depiction of life today. It's more than just entertainment...but entertainment is being turning into life. It's interesting on so many levels.

[EnglishGavz]

Some of these comments in my opinion illustrate a key point that Pig related episode was illustrating: Everyone on the internet can go die and we'd probably be better off, and yes,I get the hypocrisy.

[BagOfFuck]

Looks like pm's wife will be sucking bacon off pm's cock!

[ThatKidKnows]

I took a great interest in the great aspect of social commentary in the first episode. I look forward to the next episode. Looking at this advert I sense at some point the program commenting on pornography. Not sure what else... It is actually a great advert!

[1999tho]

well done charlie brooker



[darkestdraw]

or...............Constance Briscoe

[darkestdraw]

Thank god it wasn't Ann Widdecombe or Angela Merkel or ......

[briandpowers]

Amorphic, they shouldn't have been watching it in the first place.

They were the same as those who love to make celebrities cry or those awful people who sook out the video of the Ken Bigley murder.

There seems to be too little respect for anything these days.

Brooker's cheap shot at our society ignored the fact that not everyone buys into the bull that is modern tv.

[AmorphicS]

@briandpowers If I want an accurate representation of the world I'll watch the news.

[briandpowers]

The problem is that "compelling viewing" has become the standard and decency, intelligence, reality, honesty, goodness and TALENT have been left behind. Channel 4 and ITV are in the forefront of this Dumb-down revolution. They will not rest, it seems, until they have reinforced every negative aspect of our wilting society.

"Good TV" is bad for Britain. TV Journos are scum. Those who follow them are naive.

[funguy118]

@briandpowers Before you go commenting saying "Your replying to a 1 week comment blah blah blah" The reason why is because I want to get this off my chest anyway now that I said that let me tell you this. If you don't like watching the show all you had to do was stop watching it no one was forcing you to watch it. Hell you said that you didn't like Channel4 but your posting a comment on a show that you don't like and a channel that you don't like also that makes sense to me!

[briandpowers]

Naive?

Anyone who thinks that this show was in anyway realistic is niave.

There is no way that a PM would do this.

Many Britons would see such an act as a violation of our nation.

Only ghouls and pervs would actually watch it if it did happen in real life.

This was not a drama. It was a comedy script pretending to be a drama.

It had a fine cast and started interestingly, but the writer simply lacked the talent to make it work as he went from creative to rediculous. It became childish.

[marsharent]

@briandpowers so you'd let the princess die?

After the "interesting start" I'm not sure how you were expecting it to develop. Everything followed perfectly logically from there

[ClearlyBlazed]

@briandpowers you missed the point of the episode entirely

[cjwKILLEDcool]

Holy shit I've just watched the first one, amazing piece of cinema(?). Really hope the next two match up.

[Jarren202]

Reminded me of David Firth. Great show.

Loved the ending.

[Hazy992]

PM gonna get pig AIDS LOL

[xaxie1]

As we can see from the last episode, Society has grown Apathetic towards everyone around them.

No longer do we care about people if they do one wrong thing. Mob Mentality rules today...

The Prime Minister was felt sorry for until her finger was 'cut off' and suddenly everyone hates him.

Quite like Cheryl Cole and the Gamu controversy, first she's the nations sweetheart, next minute she has death threats :P

People don't look behind the book cover anymore, its a shame :(

[voidlam]

Loved the first episode, very emotional and shocking and quite disgusting to watch.

Cannot wait for the next two episodes!

[briandpowers]

BLACK MIRROR - CB's Masturbation.

This was typical tabloid drama written by a childish and unknowledgeable scumbag who, typically, is one of Channel 4s (Worst channel on UK tv) fave "dramatists".

A childish joke is not great drama. It is pathetic and insulting to believe that decent people would watch the prime minister of UK do a pig. Many Britons actually have integrity and dignity.

Those who would watch such a thing in real life are superficial, brainless scum traitors.

Depthless Trash.

[3tangle3]

@briandpowers plot could have been much better

[voidlam]

@briandpowers You think it's the worst? So why watch it to review it and why come to a video which has CHANNEL 4 in the title? That's like being allergic to something but doing it anyway because you're stupid.

Basically, you're stupid.

[AmorphicS]

@briandpowers What? at the end of the episode everyone was disgusted at it? Did you even watch it?

[Caesarslegion1]

@briandpowers you have a naive view of Britain

[abdulmatinuk]

thumbs UP if you would, DOWN if you wouldnt in the same situation.

[RickyStevens94]

I thought that was fantastic. Brilliant, crazy, artistic, disgraceful, moving and intelligent. Brooker has created a masterpiece?

[jonnys8sumthin]

@Nickbol09 its pretty much the point of the programme ... to show what society is like

[cyborgninja89]

can anyone please tell me what the name of the song is that is used in the channel 4 trailer for the national anthem. i know its not 'The Rip', by Portishead its something completely different. sounds like nine inch nails. im having a alot of difficulty finding it let alone the the trailer. thanks again

[GoodWeather42]

@cyborgninja89 'Machine Gun' by Portishead

think brooker may be a fan

[cyborgninja89]

@GoodWeather42 cheers mate its soo good this song !!



[marsharent]

i was pleasantly surprised by how fantastic the first ep actually was. Totally absurd but plausible, played as straight as possible, funny without laying out jokes, quality cast ~and so on. Brooker and Bathurst should be chuffed.

Odd statement to make but somehow this condensed Channel 4's entire personality in ~50 minutes and did it proud

[Talaxy]

Well that was pretty fucking rough!

[thezec]

@Talaxy that's what the pig said

[BaNdIToAnDrEaS]

Otto Bathurst should be shot.

But I see what they did there, "Twisted tales"...yknow cus he had to FUCK A PIG! What kind of fucked up shit is that?

[COMMUWHALE]

First episode was thoroughly emotionally draining, I did not know what to feel. Utterly compelling and completely inspired.

[computer11111111111]

Brilliant. It says so many things about society that are spot on. Particularly this mentality that people seem to have where they have a thirst for watching public figures be destroyed and humiliated. Bravo Mr. Brooker.

[SuperKilljoy77]

just seen it, blew my mind!

[MikkyNo1]

This looks like it could be Orwellian gold. Hope so.

[xjames118]

David Cameron: "Sex with a pig? But that's Tuesday nights!" David Cameron: "Non-stop ass-rape of a pig? Fine, as long as the pig is a metaphor for the NHS". David Cameron*: "Forcing someone to have sex with a pig? That's last season. This year it's getting half a dozen white, full-time-working private sector bluecollars and sewing them together like a giant human centipede".

*(Vince Cable).

[Herosmurf]

Does anyone know what time the show will be on

[FuturePerfectElite]

@Herosmurf 9pm, Sunday, December 4th.

[Herosmurf]

@FuturePerfectElite thank you

[Hyuuga]

I dread being disappointed for anticipating greatness (the greatness is the trilogy of twisted tales...)

[omnomnominous14]

I'll definitely be watching this tomorrow. Anyone know how long the episodes are, like 30min 40min etc.?

[mikeymikemikey1]

what's that music

[omnomnominous14]

@mikeymikemikey1 It's 'The Rip', by Portishead. :)

[MrPoooooo3]

what is this show about anyway ?????

[FuturePerfectElite]

@MrPoooooo3 The first one is about the prime minister facing a dilemma when a member of the royal family is kidnapped, yeah that literally all the description said about it. Their staying pretty tight-lipped about it but if the advert is anything to go off it will probably be awesome!

[projectcyclops]

@FuturePerfectElite - On the Ch4 website there's a wee clip of it. Very intriguing stuff with shades of Dead Set. This is a killer trail, but think it's maybe more socio-political drama than sci-fi, but who knows? Three whole episodes; let's hope Charlie gives us something special :)

[TheAdamTowers]

Really looking forward to this :D

[GatesOfGaia]

f*&^% ITV ! That's like saying, The new Samsung Galaxy 2 is a great idea. Lets hope Apples new iphone will be better. But it never is, and its locked out in some form of consumer control deception. Much like Virgin Media's "Unlimited Broadband" that's NOT Unlimited.

If the ITV did its usual tricks, Charlie Brooker would end up like Andy Pandy on acid.

Channel 4 is always original and no matter what the ITV do , they will always be a blend of mediocre feckless fudge packers.

[255ad]

@GatesOfGaia

"Channel 4 is always original" but not always good

[manmaas]

Looks promising.



[BrokenCodex101]

Stupid question. Is this a comedy.

[FirkinFilms]

@BrokenCodex101 "A dark trilogy of twisted tales" ... I doubt it's a comedy =D

[djbethell]

@BrokenCodex101 Knowing Brooker, they'll be some very dark laughs in there, so yeah, a black comedy for sure. The first ep concerns a request for the Prime Minister to fuck a pig on live TV. Sounds funny to me.

[MrPocketmoose]

Gave me goosebumps.

[thisdaymambo]

This reminded me of a few of my salvia trips for some reason

[danzey]

sick



[dramakingdt1]

I am in the first episode!! AH! :)

[whome2473]

i feel dizzy

[MrVersipellis]

The Rip <3 Love this song...

[redhandtheblack]

That gave me tingles down my spine. I expect this to be the usual amazing Brooker stuff.

[fancythathat]

What? Channel 4 doing new shows and being original? Channel 4 makes big brother and fucking braindead horseshit for closed minded cunts.

[dumbacrew]

@fancythathat well technically Big Brother is channel 5 ground now

[fancythathat]

@dumbacrew Oh yeah after 10 years 

[ArthurFWTaylor]

@fancythathat Channel 4's done some awesome stuff, Brass Eye for one, but they certainly did...lose their way. They've still done some excellent docs all the while though.

[DaveUndertaker]

@ArthurFWTaylor Yeah they basically became obsessed with the wanker demographic in the mid-1990s. Like most things that are shit about the UK, it can be attributed to New Labour and their cuntish proclivities.

This looks good though. I hope it's full-on bitter Brooker and not post-Huq hair gel Brooker though.

[matc132]

@fancythathat Wow, you're so edgy.

[fancythathat]

@matc132 thanks twatface

[kingharris22]

Hope Brooker delivers Gold. No doubt he will. Grateful for Channel 4, always doing new shows and being original, ITV could take a hint.

[StuartProwes]

For all the set-ups we did on that day... I'm glad that was the take they used. = )

And I also thank you for mentioning the song. I’ve had Portishead on my shopping list for a long time. I really must get around to getting it.

[bryonykay]

@StuartProwes Me too! Definitely the creepiest one we did.

[Dreddsk8]

Its from their album "third" which was officially the last album I bought on cd.

[Dreddsk8]

@doyouvoodoo Your perfectly welcome.

[stuthorr]

Portishead - the rip (white horses)

[mollyleahallman96]

This looks like the sort of thing that will really freak me out. So I can't wait to watch!

[doyouvoodoooo]

Yes it is Portishead!!! You genius. I have been trying to work out what song that was for ages...Thanks!!!!!!

[SnoopyChicken]

I can't wait for this, Charlie Brooker seems to have this brilliant simultaneous love/fear of technology.

Hopefully this will be a release valve for the Cognitive Dissonance!

[Dreddsk8]

Loving the portishead track

[doyouvoodoooo]

@Dreddsk8 Saw the advert for this and have been banging my head aginst the wall trying to figure out what the song is. You have made my day. Was doing my head in. Thanks!!!

[stuthorr]

@Dreddsk8 One of my favourites. It gives me goosebumps

[MeowsyDancer]

@Dreddsk8

Whats the name of the track kind sir? :)

[halfdecent]

@Dreddsk8 Holy crap you know what song it is!!! Like up!!!

[bibblebob]

@Dreddsk8 What song is it?

[fatfuckfucker]

@bibblebob

the rip

[sparklemonkey]

This looks really good, I do love Charlie's work.....he's as bleak as I am :-)
