How did you first hear about it? Did you find it on Twitter?

It was just last night, my phone just went bonkers. It was people texting me, emailing me, Twitter notifications, and this that and the other. And it took me a couple of minutes to work out what the hell was going on, because there was something involving Cameron, Black Mirror, and the Mail. And I didn't know really what to think, so it took me a bit of clicking around to work out what on earth was happening. I thought maybe that he mentioned it? Put it this way, my mind didn't immediately go, 'Oh, he must have fucked a pig then?' I was very confused. Very confused.

And I did genuinely worry for a moment whether reality is a fiction designed to confuse me, which isn't a thought that you are meant to really have.

You went through the scripts last night and tweeted a couple of excerpts last night. Were those the only moments that you saw resonating?

Oh no, you know what? I could have carried on going, but I thought the whole... I think the script is on the DVD. There's whole chunks. I was thinking this morning, there's a whole scene in it relatively early on where there's a TV newsroom and the reporters are all complaining that everyone on Twitter is talking about the prime minister and the pig and that they are not allowed to discuss this on the air and that this is an intolerable state of affairs. And I thought that this scene must have played out in a lot of newsrooms this morning. And they're debating on what language to use within the show. They're worrying about how they can possibly even describe this to viewers at breakfast, so all of that side of things is bizarre.
