In one of the iterations, the protagonist says that he has stripped out a lot of the code so that the player only thinks they are in control. This was very much the idea with Bandersnatch... The viewer only thinks they are in control.
This is the weakest of all Black Mirror stories, since there isn't enough 'meat' to any iteration. Which brings me to feeling that this kind of interactive TV is never going to be anything more that a minority interest.
Most people want to be entertained without having to make decisions, so having them think they are choosing when in fact they are looping until they go down the intended path is only going to be enjoyed by gamers, it will put the majority of 'sit back and enjoy' viewers off.
In the end, this would have better been called Boojum, because when you think that you have settled on a plausible ending, it vanishes in front of you.

With a star studded cast, I thought this was going to be a real treat. unfortunatly, despite the sumptuous sets, the film is marred by awful inconsistencies. But the thing that really marred this for me was the CGI'd train... This wouldn't have cost any more to get right, after all the images were computer generated, but four carriages? The Orient Express to Constantinople had twenty carriages. Bad research!
Don't pay any attention to the HonestReviews troll.
This children's programme is perfect family viewing. Based on the writings of Norman Hunter, it brings to life the original madcap illustrations that accompanied them, done by the master of the absurd: William Heath Robinson.
The goofball inventions of the professor are enough to make anyone giggle, but the reaction of the stereotypical middle-England residents of mid 20th century Pagwell are what makes this so special.
Forget the bad reviews, sit down and enjoy some British Quaintness at its best.
