Black Mirror - The National Anthem
 

Will anyone be watching this tonight (Channel 4, 9pm)? If you're not already aware of it, a brief synopsis of the plot is that a female member of the Royal Family gets kidnapped and in order to secure her release, the Prime Minister has to have carnal relations with a pig, live on t'telly. That's about all I know.

Still, I don't suppose it would be an worse than having to watch half an hour of Corrie, Eastenders, Celebrity Come Dancing on Ice, X factor or any of the other crap which currently takes up 90% of TV broadcasting.

So sit back and enjoy.

I don't suppose many muslims will be watching it.

Charlie Brooker satire Black Mirror to show prime minister pig sex dilemma | Metro.co.uk

It's a British spin on the twilight zone by all accounts.As to Muslims watching it, I think you'd be surprised, they probably will watch just to confirm how barbaric, disgusting & depraved us infidels are. ;)

Ps. while not actually having slept with any pigs, how many blokes have woken up Sunday morning alongside some right growlers were they'd rather gnaw there arm off than wake last nights "Cracker" :D

Your Honour in my defence, I was, ver, ver drunk ! And I'm pretty damn sure I'm not the only one. :D

I'm a fan of Charlie Brooker; dark satirical humour often with a good measure of attention grabbing immaturity :) I'm surprised something he's done has such a mainstream ad campaign. I hope they haven't watered it down too much to pander to prime time.

No, from the synopsis Tealeaf has given, I would think it would be one to avoid.
Personally, I would feel very sorry for the pig.
Not my cup of tea at all.

Son, what he really meant to say was:-
not having been in that position myself for a long time.

Only kidding John.:D

And you a good Catholic boy and all, telling dirty black porkies !!! :D

You best hope there's no re-incarnation or come back as a Proddy so you will ;)

Re: Black Mirror - The National Anthem
 

They should have had Charlie pay the ransom for his relative instead of the PM....because he is used to it :)

Re: Black Mirror - The National Anthem
 

Weak.

Sort of thing you'd think cutting edge if you were an eleven year old boy...and you'd written it.

The only interesting thing that was explored was the supremacy of today's technology media, over traditional printed and televised news.

Disappointing.

What you saying Margaret, neigh surely that can't be right:rolleyes::rolleyes:;)
