Series 2 of ‘Black Mirror’ began with ‘Be Right Back’ which saw a grieving woman is invited to sign up for a new piece of software that allows users to communicate with a digital facsimile of a lost loved one, a copy constructed from their internet, email and social networking history. It was creepy but fell apart 2/3 of the way through. Not only will the future have creepy AI’s but it will have musical pregnancy tests.
Best Line:

On ‘Hollyoaks’, I just realised that the actor who plays Patrick was in that ‘Torn’ music video in the 90s. Carl and Mitzeee act like she was the love of Riley’s life. She wasn’t! Mercedes was. Amy shows up and catches Ste in mid lie and Brendan playing at domesticity. Ste overlooks the fact that he and Doug have a civil partnership and has done nothing to dissolve it. Ste gets horny when Brendan jokes about violence. WTF? How does the Savage houseboat fit in the Hollyoaks pond? Ste is a scrote and Brendan needs to go.
