Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Story was inspired by the 2010 BBC documentary The Young Ones, which took aging celebrities and put them in a house redecorated like a throwback to the 1970s.
- GoofsNear the end, when Yorkie is driving the convertible while "Heaven Is A Place On Earth" is playing, she is driving from the left hand side of the car in all close ups, but is clearly on the right hand side of the vehicle during the aerial long shot driving down the highway.
- Quotes
Kelly: 49 years. I was with him for 49 years. You can't begin to imagine. You can't know the bond, the commitment, the boredom, the yearning, the laughter, the love of it. The fucking love. You just cannot know! Everything we sacrificed. The years I gave him. The years he gave me. Did you think to ask?

Featured review
Yorkie, a shy and timid girl from an uptight family, goes to a night club, a place where she definitely feels out of place. And there she meets Kelly, a girl who is totally in her element there. Somehow these opposites develop a connection stronger than anyone could expect.
This is about as much as I can give out without spoiling anything (and I truly believe this episode shouldn't be spoiled even the tiniest bit).
I know two ways to explain what Black Mirror is about: 1. It's a show about our fears; 2. It's a show about how technologies could change our lives.
Most of the show's episodes lean heavily towards the fear aspect. This episode is an exception; in fact, I could say, it's probably the only episode that shows how technologies could change us not just in a scary way, but in a new and in many ways wonderful way.
However, while many say that it's entirely positive and light (some even claim it goes entirely against Black Mirror style), I wouldn't be so sure. As I said, I'm not going to spoil anything here, but after watching this episode a second time I can say that there are some ideas in this episode that are rather creepy if you look closely. It's just that in this one, in contrast to other Black Mirror's episodes, the creepiness is not a fact but rather a matter of interpretation.
Nevertheless, I'd say this is Black Mirror's only episode that isn't wholly dark and cynical; in fact it's actually sincere and sensual. So, if you're looking for the show's usual dark/scary aspect, this episode won't work for you. But if you just want to have a good time, I can tell you, this is one of the most touching stories I've seen in drama TV shows.
