The Waldo Moment

Black Mirror is a hybrid of The Twilight Zone and Tales of the Unexpected which taps into our contemporary unease about our modern world. The three stand-alone dramas are sharp, suspenseful, satirical tales with a techno paranoia bend - all audacious 'What if' stories: some comic, some shocking - but all entirely unlike anything else you've ever seen on television.

White Bear

Victoria (Lenora Crichlow) wakes up and cannot remember anything about her life. Everyone she encounters refuses to communicate with her and enjoys filming her discomfort on their phones. Victoria meets Jem (Tuppence Middleton), who explains that a signal is being transmitted that has turned most of the population into dumb voyeurs. This apathy has allowed the unaffected, the 'hunters', to do what they want and they are out to get people like her and Victoria.
