Have you noticed how every year of this century has been the 'worst year ever' and then the next year we say 'that year seemed bad, but this one is even worse'.
"A clingfilm parcel of Frankfurter meat that's been kicked through a yellow cobweb" - Brooker on Trump. Still one of the funniest things I've ever heard.
He died on Christmas Day. 4 days before this aired and after post-production had already wrapped, so I doubt anybody was in a hurry to get back into the editing suite, hungover and burping up sage & onion stuffing on Boxing Day to add him in.
Funeral March of Queen Mary from Clockwork Orange was the perfect accompaniment to the Brexit vote result. That's pretty much the sound of how I was feeling as I watched our country be destroyed.
Some people were for leaving the EU because they are for as small a government as possible and the EU + the UK government is more government than just the UK government on it's own. For me personally I am for as much immigration as anyone wants and completely open borders but I view the EU as a huge unaccountable layer of government that I would like to not have ruling over me. I would prefer to not even have the British government ruling over me as well.
These shows used to make a whole shitty year worthwhile. Extremely cathartic. But then Charlie got horribly fucking lazy and couldn't find the time to make ONE EPISODE A YEAR. Of course it must be terribly time consuming coming up with new ways to say PhOnE bAd, so I can see why he's so busy with Black Mirror.
