Channel 4 drama series written by Charlie Brooker which explores the role of technology in modern society, in particular the potential dark side of humanity's gadget addiction. Each of the episodes is a stand-alone piece and is set in a slightly different world. 'The National Anthem' follows the attempts of the British Prime Minister, Michael Callow (Rory Kinnear), to negotiate the release of a royal princess (Lydia Wilson), while faced with an outrageous ransom request and a titillated media. 'Fifteen Million Merits' is set in a grim, gadget-dominated world where the only chance of individual glory is a game show called Hot Shot, where contestants will be assessed by Judge Hope (Rupert Everett) and Judge Charity (Julia Davis). Finally, 'The Entire History of You' imagines a world in which it is possible to record your own memories and play them back at will. Toby Kebbell and Jodie Whittaker star.
