Charlie Brooker turns his attention to fear, tracing how British television has taught its audience to be afraid of the wrong things. He opens with Cold War-era public information films, the kind that warned children away from pylons and frozen ponds with grim little morality-tale endings, and shows how their scare tactics set a template that outlasted the threats they were made for. From there he moves into crime dramas and news bulletins, using clips spanning decades of archive footage to compare the murder rate on screen with the one in reality, and finds television's version wildly, almost comically, exaggerated. Sketches break up the argument, parodying the breathless tone of true-crime reconstructions and tabloid news packages. Brooker's own narration carries the through-line, dry and blunt, pointing out exactly where a genre's need for drama overtakes its obligation to accuracy. The episode treats fear as a manufactured product, built scene by scene out of editing choices and stock music, rather than an honest reflection of the world outside the screen.
