Now look! We have reached the 8th, and final, episode of Triptych Season 1! What a ride it’s been. But before delving into this week’s show-notes, we would LOVE to hear from YOU.

The Masterpieces
1. Black Mirror 3:5 "Men Against Fire" (2016)
Black Mirror is both a phenomenon and an outlier, one that has gained cult status in some quarters (though perhaps there’s a generational divide there? You’ll need to ask our producer Owen for more on that. He has views…). It started life on the UK’s once quite edgy and adventurous Channel 4, the brainchild of journalist, arch-satirist and presenter, Charlie Brooker. He has either written, or prompted creative discussions for each episode, working with his producer Annabel Jones.
