Black Mirror: All episodes ranked from worst to best

In the seven years since Black Mirror first aired, Charlie Brooker's dystopian vision has started to seem less and less implausible.

How much you enjoyed Philomena Cunk's history of Britain depends on how funny you find Diane Morgan's resting confused face. I find it hilarious. Her interviewees are kind of in on the joke but clearly briefed to take it as seriously as possible. They'll be mid-flow and she will cock her head and drain all the interest from her face. "What's the most political thing that's ever happened?" she asked Robert Peston, who did his best to answer with a straight face. Co-producer Charlie Brooker's fingerprints are everywhere in the way Morgan's vain, poorly informed, easily distracted Cunk operates within a ruthlessly satirical production, which sends up the tropes and clichés of every dodgy documentary and history programme. She might not be the comic creation we need, but she is the one we deserve right now.
