Charlie Brooker on technology, truth and Black Mirror

Late Saturday (5pm-11pm)  

Author, screenwriter and presenter Charlie Brooker created the critically-acclaimed anthology series Black Mirror, with the sixth season of the nine-time Emmy-winning show most recently launching on Netflix. Brooker is also the creator of BBC/Netflix comedy series Cunk on Earth and C4 zombie horror Dead Set. He is the co-creator of Nathan Barley and the unfairly-overlooked (his words) A Touch of Cloth. As a writer-presenter, he dismayed viewers for years with his series of Wipe shows for the BBC. In a previous life, he worked as a TV critic, videogames reviewer and cartoonist, although not all at the same time.
