Ahhhh, Christmas. Chestnuts roasting on an open fire. Eggnog. The laughter of children. Twinkly lights. Presents. Carols. Time spent together, as a family. Peace and goodwill to all mankind. That’s what it’s all about.

Not if you’re Charlie Brooker. After two seasons of his warped Twilight Zone take on the modern technological age, Black Mirror returns for a seasonal one-off special. The feature-length drama stars Jon Hamm, Rafe Spall and Oona Chapman in a story that takes the idea of “blocking” people online and turns it into a literal, horrific act.

Here’s the trailer for the Black Mirror Christmas special:

 

Black Mirror: White Christmas is on Channel 4 on Tuesday 16th December at 9pm. It will be available on 4oD to catch-up afterwards.

 

Season 1 and 2 of Black Mirror are available on Netflix UK, as part of an £9.99 monthly subscription.
