Brooker: “If they just made pooing one of the rounds in Crufts, I would definitely watch it. The best tapered poo coming out, all that. I would— Come on, every one would watch that.”
Mitchell: “You would definitely watch that? Despite being incredibly ashamed of your own need to shit, you wish to watch others do it.”
Brooker: “And don’t you dare judge me for that, you fowl little man!”
“I think it’s great that we’re on television on the day the insects turned on us.” - David Mitchell

Charlie Brooker invents the seed for Black Mirror 1x01 as a joke on You Have Been Watching.
“Genuinely, at one point I wanted the ability to turn my head 90 degrees so I could lie down and watch TV. There was a terrible period in my life where I genuinely turned the TV on its side for several days, ‘cus I didn’t want to get out of bed.”
“Who do you think is powering that spotlight? Millions of people, that’s who. All of them out there right now, putting in an honest day on the bike while you stand in the light they’re generating and ditter. You know what? They would give anything, do anything to be where you’re at now.”
