BONUS: Black Mirror IRL pilot - Be Right Back

Hi all!

This is a slightly special bonus episode. Some years ago I had
plans for another series "Black Mirror IRL", which was going to
be a series of episodes looking into the technologies mentioned
and featured in the Netflix Series Black Mirror. Is anyone
working on these technologies in real life? What would their
potential social implications be if they were developed? How
scientifically feasible would it actually be to develop
something like this?

The plan would be to explore one technology alongside each
episode of the show.

However, time has passed and I've moved onto other projects,
and now I have nowhere near enough time to finish this series
alongside everything else, so I only ever got around to
recording a single, pilot episode for that putative series,
which has been sitting on my hard drive for ages.

Rather than let it go to waste - as it could be years if ever
before I get back around to this project again - I am releasing
it as a bonus episode for you to enjoy. But one thing I would
say is that I would really appreciate your feedback on this
episode. Do you think the series is a good idea? Would you like
to see more episodes along these lines? How do you think I
could improve it? Any and all suggestions are gratefully
received. Maybe someday the series as a whole will return.


Thank you all as ever for your support for the show.
