| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. Thanks for tuning into today's episode of the watch. Really special episode. |
| 0:05.4 | I was joined by Charlie Brooker and Annabel Jones, who are the showrunners of Black Mirror. |
| 0:11.9 | Black Mirror obviously four seasons of terrifying thought-provoking television. It has essentially |
| 0:18.8 | been called the new Twilight Zone. If you've listened to the watch, you know all about Black Mirror. |
| 0:24.4 | It was a real honor to get to talk to Charlie, who I think is one of those sharpest minds |
| 0:28.3 | in television, frankly. And Annabel was great talking a little bit about the production |
| 0:32.7 | and what goes into making these episodes. We talked about where Black Mirror is and where |
| 0:37.4 | it's been and where it could go. It was just a really fascinating conversation. And after |
| 0:41.2 | that talk with Charlie and Annabel, Andy had a conversation with Rolling Black Outs. |

| 1:10.2 | I need support to have to clear the room. Stand up and walk now. |
| 1:17.8 | I'm so glad to be joined by Charlie Brooker and Annabel Jones. They are the showrunners |
| 1:22.3 | of Black Mirror Charlie created the show years ago. I guess back in, what year did you |
| 1:27.3 | create the show? |
| 1:29.3 | 18-72. It was around 2011. 2011. It was probably actually |
| 1:35.3 | before that that we came up with it. It was probably more like 2010. But it was on air |
| 1:40.1 | the first episodes went out 2011, late 2011. |
