It's the first time that a Black Mirror twist completely pulls the rug out from underneath the audience. A lost, terrified woman, Victoria (Lenora Crichlow), wakes up without her memory, and is continuously chased through the endless countryside. Jem (Tuppence Middleton) comes to her aid, but there's a crowd of people just standing around in silence, creepily filming Victoria's plight on their mobile phones. Journalists Jo-Anne Rowney (@JoAnne_Rowney) and Kyle O'Sullivan...

Rhashan Stone, who plays Jeff in The Entire History of You, calls Season 1's finale "Black Mirror before it was Black Mirror." He has a point: it's the first episode to feature a cranial implant and future tech that undoes a pair of lives. It's the only episode written by Peep Show co-creator Jesse Armstrong, and he brings the point-of-view camera technique over to this episode of Black Mirror with him. Jeff is the first character to show the audience just how deep into a past experience...

Peep Show's Jesse Armstrong (@jessearmstrong1) has the sole writing credit on this episode, and he brings the point-of-view camera technique with him. The Entire History of You explores a world where everyone's memories are recorded and available for public viewing. Photographer James Ide (@Jymography) joins the podcast with an illuminating John Berger quote: "The camera relieves us of the burden of memory; it surveys us like a god, and it surveys for us. Yet no other god has been so...

Before Black Mirror became the phenomenon we know it as today, The National Anthem was touted as a Charlie Brooker show about the Prime Minister having to do something humiliating with a pig. How far the show has come, you might think - but lots of Black Mirror's classic themes are in this surprisingly heartbreaking episode, as guest James Rodger (@jamesdrodger), Birmingham Live's resident Season 1 super-fan, helps explain. There's the impact of technology on ages-old institutions, seen...

"I'Il say Hang the DJ, and it always takes them a minute to go 'oh yeah'… so no one ever recognises me! I usually have to forcibly tell them who I am…" If that's the case now for Georgina Campbell (@G_ACampbell), it certainly won't stay that way for long. Georgina auditioned for Black Mirror a number of times, before finally finding her perfect match of a role. As Hang the DJ's cheeky but switched-on Amy, Georgina gets to play the only Black Mirror character who's come close to guessing...

We're joined by Fifteen Million Merits actor Paul Popplewell (@PaulPopplewell), who plays Dustin, with episode analysis from Birmingham Live's resident Season 1 super-fan, James Rodger (@jamesdrodger). Daniel Kaluuya might've narrowly missed out on an Oscar for Get Out, but his journey to that role began with Jordan Peele seeing this lead performance. Paul tells us what it was like to work alongside Daniel on a Black Mirror episode before any of the shows had even aired on Channel...

"He insisted on not being hugged. So I went out of my way, every time he came on set, to go and give him a big hug, despite my blue. I tried to always keep him on his toes…" That's Milanka Brooks (@MilankaBrooks) talking about Black Mirror co-creator Charlie Brooker's visits to the set of USS Callister. She goes on to recall the time Jodie Foster glimpsed her greenish post-work hands - but couldn't really say why, thanks to the non-disclosure agreement. Remind yourself of the Season 4...

Yorkie and Kelly seem doomed to be star-crossed lovers in San Junipero, with one of Black Mirror's cruellest twists threatening to keep them apart forever. Enter Nurse Greg, the most selfless character ever to be written by Charlie Brooker. The man behind the nurse, Raymond McAnally (@MtnMack), joins the pod this week to tell us how he felt when he won the "golden ticket" of being cast in Black Mirror's double-Emmy-winning and most-loved episode. Hear more from Ray on his Amazon Prime...

"He literally loves the sound of his own voice!" That's Douglas Hodge (@Dhodgem) on his character Rolo Haynes, the owner of Black Museum. Doug skyped into the pod from New York, where he's in rehearsals for the play Fire and Air. He tells us about acting out every single word of the Season 4 finale, why he wasn't very friendly to Letitia Wright (Nish) on set and what "bashful" Charlie Brooker was like to work with. Remind yourself of the episode with our Black Museum episode...

It's not really a fan favourite, but @MirrorTech's Jeff Parsons (@jparsons989) and @MirrorPolitics' Mikey Smith (@mikeysmith) like it, so this week they've joined the podcast to tell you why The Waldo Moment matters. A cartoon figure who says that politicians are rubbish (but runs for office alongside them), that the political system is rubbish (but competes for power within it) and is inexplicably popular with large swathes of the public - it's no wonder that people see the rise of...

… happens for a reason! Season 4's most adorable episode is about a love that overcomes 'The System'… at least 99.8% of the time. The voice of that system - Coach - guides Amy (Georgina Campbell) and Frank (Joe Cole) through their dating hits and misses before they meet their Ultimate One on the ominously-named Pairing Day. Actress Gina Bramhill (@GinaBramhill) - the voice of Coach - tells us what it's like for a Black Mirror fan to get a part on the show, and why she's just as surprised...
