On the other hand [making a string of one-off episodes], there's a real freedom, because you're kind of reinventing the show every week.

Obviously, you try not to repeat yourself so that forces you to re-evaluate what you're doing constantly [in Black Mirror].
Charlie Brooker
[The rumor that David Cameron maybe once did this unspeakable thing with a pig's head] it was freakish and weird. It seemed such a coincidence that I couldn't quite process it. And then, as it sank in, I genuinely had the thought, Am I living in a Truman Show sort of VR simulation designed to send me insane?
Charlie Brooker
I really don't want to sound like overly negative or critical of the Internet in general because I'm actually really quite pro-technology.
Charlie Brooker
Women - why aren't you running the world yet? Frankly I'm disappointed in you. Men are still far too dominant for their own good, and consequently we've made a testosterone-sodden pig's ear of just about everything: politics, the economy, religion, the environment ... you name it, it's in a gigantic man-wrought mess.
Charlie Brooker
My theory is that we used to have several personalities, and now we're encouraged to have one online.
Charlie Brooker
At the other end of the spectrum, George Gideon Oliver King Rameses Osborne, the fourteen-year-old novelty Chancellor and future baronet of Ballentaylor and Ballylemon - a man so posh he probably weeps champagne.
Charlie Brooker
I've always had a bad attention span.
Charlie Brooker
Men Against Jive is a brilliant title! That's a military story, that's a difficult one to explain really because that's sort of a war... it's not just a war story.
Charlie Brooker
If technology is a drug – and it does feel like a drug – then what, precisely, are the side-effects?
Charlie Brooker
[One of my kids ]is not named after Aldous Huxley. I haven't even read Brave New World!
Charlie Brooker
What happens often is the script is written and once the director comes on board you have lots of conversations and it mutates again.
Charlie Brooker
In many ways, Big Brother is the present day equivalent of a 1980s Club 18-30 Holiday - flirting, sunbathing, silly little organised games, and lots of people you'd like to remove from the genepool with a cricket bat.
Charlie Brooker
I saw The Twilight Zone for the first time when I was 12 or 13. I used to stay up late to watch.
Charlie Brooker
I think more and more people became aware that social media was starting to feel like a more toxic space. And, I mean - quite a lot of incidents of people getting very, very angry about all kinds of things and attacking people.
Charlie Brooker
[Black Mirror] is always about unforeseen consequences and unforeseen problems, it's not usually that someone's created a machine that they want to enslave mankind with, it's someone's invented a new kind of... paperweight that enslaves mankind.
Charlie Brooker
'Waldo' was one episode I always felt I didn't quite crack. And weirdly, now that feels like one of the more prescient ones.
Charlie Brooker
We take things that would have struck us as miraculous five years ago for granted. Like Pokémon Go would have been insane, and now it's just like, Oh, okay.
Charlie Brooker
I mean, sometimes we do do that, The National Anthem was a caustic satire and sometimes that's the way to go with the story rather than me being particularly misanthropic.
Charlie Brooker
I think overseas viewers assume that Black Mirror is written by the Unabomber, essentially - a Luddite, technology-hating, angry old man waving his fist at the App Store.
Charlie Brooker
You sort of perform your personality, I guess, to everyone on some level.
