Bandersnatch hid easter eggs for a number of their previous episodes in the latest series (Picture: Netflix)

Black Mirror has been keeping fans hooked for four seasons and a movie/interactive episode now, and despite it technically being an ‘anthology’, they all definitely exited in the same world.

With the introduction of Bandersnatch, it’s most ambitious effort on the series so far, nearly every single episode was called back on through tiny easter eggs for the eagle-eyed to watch out for.

Thankfully for those who are missing one or two (or are simply just too lazy to find them yourselves) we’ve managed to find them all for you – how many did you get?

***WARNING: Contains spoilers for the many, many timelines of Bandersnatch***


The computer games available for Christmas in 1984 include White Bear, Nosedive and Bandersnatch (Picture: Netflix)

Series One



National Anthem – According to the news report ticker tape at the end of Bandersnatch, former PM Michael Callow (aka the man forced to have sex with a pig to save the princess in the shocker of a first episode) is joining the cast of Celebrity Bake Off in the modern day. Sure Sandi and Noel would have a field day with his appearance!

In the newspaper article reporting Stefan’s arrest, the story sharing the page announces that Princess Susannah had just started school.

Meanwhile, back in the 80s, one of Tuckersoft’s computer games was called Pig in a Poke – which is a less-than subtle reference to the main plot point.

Fifteen Million Merits – In a newspaper reporting on Stefan’s murder trial, a small nib side article asks for applications for a new talent show called Hot Shots. The headline is titled ’15 Million Talent Team.’

Series Two

White Bear – White Bear’s symbol for the Justice Park takes on a whole new meaning in Bandersnatch, as it shows the two alternative routes you can take on a flowchart. The most obvious reference by far, this sets the idea up that they’ve been planning this adventure choice for years.If that’s not enough, in one timeline it’s also the number one game to have that Christmas.

The Waldo Moment – Liam Monroe, the man that ran for office against the bright blue cartoon bear, ends up in Buckingham Palace, according to the end of news report.

Series Three

Nosedive – The latest game being created by Colin Rickman is called Nosedyve – a direct reference to the season three episode starring Bryce Dallas Howard as a social climber obsessed with a ranking app.

San Junipero – Stefan’s doctors centre is called Saint Junipers, which is based on the same facility and work Yorkie and Kelly inhabit in their alternative reality series. They’re both set in the 80s too.

Men Against Fire– One of the Tuckersoft games was named ‘Roach Busters’, which is a definite throwback to the soldiers in Men Against Fire, who were given implants to see the enemy as ‘roaches’.

Hated in the Nation – Another one for the tell-tale ticker tape running across the bottom of the last news report, it was revealed company Granular would unveil a prototype Pollinator Drone. These bee-like drones would later be turned against the UK by a hacker who used them to kill those hated online.

Series Four



USS Callister – Space Fleet get not one but two different mentions during the episode, though they are so blink you might miss them both. In 1984, they are mentioned as a TV show in the newspaper. In modern day, it’s revealed in the ticker tape of a news report that they have been nominated for an Emmy.

Hang the DJ – As the newspaper reports Stefan murdering his dad, a side bar of mini stories reveals a futuristic ‘love machine’ developers are creating to help people find their perfect match.

Crocodile – As Pearl is interviewed at the end of the episode after becoming the latest person to fall into Bandersnatch’s web, the report announces on the bottom of the screen that ‘UK Police Test Groundbreaking Memory Recall Device’. This is the same device that will be used in Crocodile.

Metalhead – Tuckersoft’s most successful game to date is Metl Hedd, which even features the same character on the poster as the dog like robot that torments the characters in the season four episode.

Black Museum – In the creepy midst of the Utah desert, Rollo Haynes keeps trinkets from his adventures in surgery and technology. That doesn’t bode too well for Stefan, seeing as his doctor’s name is Dr. R. Haynes. Coincidence?
