The one I watched, in the latest series, had a northern English girl who had to kill 3 people to stop the world from a nuclear type disaster. She didn’t quite manage it so the world ended. A bit sick. Some are better than others.

That film about the pig was shown in Cameron’s time.
It was hilarious 😂 but I’ll admit to a very dark seance of humour.

Someone told me about this series and said it was brilliant. When I looked it up it said it was sci fi. I’m not a fan of that type of programme but told my husband, who is. He watched an episode last night, telling me it seemed each episode is a stand alone. He told me the one he watched was about the Princess of Wakes being kidnapped and she would only be released if the PM performed a sex act (sex with a pig) on live tv. Obviously it was all fictitious but I was horrified and baffled that people exist who think this is an acceptable programme to suggest to a tv company and that the tv company makes it. To me you have to be quite sick in the head to even think it let along agree to make it then broadcast it. My husband laughs and says it’s just a story but I think it’s a sad reflection on people’s minds. Am I being an old fuddy duddy?….
