The man behind Black Mirror, Dead Set, Screenwipe and much more joins Lauren live in the studio ahead of Black Mirror's sixth series coming later this week.

The man behind Black Mirror joins Lauren live in the studio ahead of the science anthology show's sixth series coming later this week. Charlie and Lauren will be starting your day with some feelgood tunes in Cloudbusting, hearing the music made by your every day possessions in House Music and will be joined live in the studio by Professor Hannah Fry for The Maths Of Life. Also, expect plenty of Charlie's musical choices, your questions about the show answered (maybe) and much more.

Charlie is a writer, presenter and producer with a string of huge television successes behind him. Over the years, he's working on a range of satirical comedies and dramas like Screenwipe, Brass Eye and Dead Set. Black Mirror began in 2011 on Channel 4, described at the time as "a twisted parable for the Twitter age", and quickly became a success with critics and viewers. For the third series, it moved to Netflix, and has become popular across the world with a huge list of actors having starred in episodes of the show, such as Jon Hamm, Michaela Coel, Anthony Mackie, Daniel Kaluuya, Jodie Whittaker and Rory Kinnear, to name just a few. The show has won multiple Emmy Awards and even played with the very format of TV with the interactive episode Bandersnatch in 2018.
