#Isubtitle black mirror christmas series#
Meanwhile, an officer sets Joe's cookie to experience time at 1,000 years per minute, with Wizzard's " I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday"-which played as Joe killed Beth's father-on repeat.įollowing the second series of Black Mirror, Channel 4 agreed to a third series of four episodes on the condition that detailed synopses of episodes were given. For his service, Matt avoids imprisonment for his role in Harry's death, but he is now registered as a sex offender and permanently blocked by everyone. Joe and Matt are in a cookie, the five years resulting from altered perception of time, and Joe is a cookie that has just given testimony which will be used to convict the real Joe. While Joe tells the story, the cabin gradually transforms into Beth's father's house. The girl sets off into the snowy wilderness to get help, only to freeze to death. Confronting Beth's father, Joe strikes him with a snow globe, killing him, and leaves. The block is removed after Beth dies in a train accident, allowing Joe to discover that Beth had an affair and he is not the child's father. Each Christmas Eve, when Beth visits her father, Joe travels to his house to spy on Beth and her daughter (to whom the block extends). Months later, Joe confronts her still-pregnant silhouette and is arrested. Blocking causes them to see each other as grey silhouettes and prevents Joe from contacting Beth. Joe opens up: he was "blocked" by his fiancée Beth ( Janet Montgomery) after the two fought over her decision to have an abortion. Matt makes six months pass inside the cookie's world in a matter of seconds and she relents under threat of further boredom and isolation. He describes the experience of Greta's ( Oona Chaplin) cookie, which refused to be a personal assistant. Matt then talks about his former job, training "cookies"-digital clones of people stored in an egg-shaped object-as personal assistants. After they return to her place, she poisons them both in a murder-suicide.
She is mentally ill and mistakes Harry's communication with the group for him hearing voices, as she does. One member, Harry ( Rasmus Hardiker), crashes an office Christmas party and talks to Jennifer ( Natalia Tena). He used to run an online group who watched each other seduce women through implants called "Z-Eyes", which transmit the user's vision and hearing. To ease Joe into conversation, Matt explains why he ended up in the cabin. The two have lived there for five years but barely spoken. Joe Potter ( Rafe Spall) awakens in a cabin on a snowy Christmas Day, greeted by Matt Trent ( Jon Hamm).
The episode received mostly positive critical reception and was nominated for multiple awards, including an International Emmy Award for Best Actor with Spall as the nominee. Easter egg references are made to each previous episode and a "Z-Eyes" technology which records hearing and vision has the same design and similar functionality to the "grain" from series one's " The Entire History of You". Topics depicted include pickup artistry, artificial intelligence and consciousness, as well as the concept of Internet blocking extrapolated into real life.įilming took place in London with a restrictive budget and timescale.
The first follows a man attempting to seduce a woman at a Christmas party while receiving remote guidance the second sees Matt at his job training "cookies", digital clones of people and the third shows Joe obsessed over an ex-fiancée after the relationship abruptly ends. The episode explores three stories told by Matt ( Jon Hamm) and Joe ( Rafe Spall) from a remote cabin on Christmas Day. Agreed as a one-off special after Channel 4 rejected potential series three scripts, the episode was the last to air before the programme moved to the streaming platform Netflix. It was written by series creator and showrunner Charlie Brooker and directed by Carl Tibbetts, first airing on Channel 4 on 16 December 2014. " White Christmas" is a 2014 Christmas special of the British science fiction anthology series Black Mirror. " I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday" by Wizzard Matt ( Jon Hamm) talks to the digital clone inside a "cookie".
