Charlie Brooker takes aim at the gap between what television shows and what life actually looks like, using sketches alongside archival clips pulled from decades of British broadcasting. One episode tracks TV's obsession with fear, cutting from grim 1970s public information films warning children about ponds and pylons to the exaggerated menace of crime dramas, showing how the medium has spent decades scaring its audience for their own supposed good. Brooker's commentary sits between the clips, pointing out the tricks: the music cues, the stock characters, the way a genre repeats the same warning until it stops meaning anything. The archive footage does most of the persuading here, since seeing the actual 1970s scare films side by side with modern crime shows makes the pattern obvious in a way description alone would not. It plays as comedy, but the target is serious: how much of what people fear, expect, or believe about the world they picked up from a screen rather than from anything that happened to them.
