What To Watch Tonight (In The Dystopic Future Of Black Mirror's 'Fifteen Million Merits')
Critics' picks for what you should watch if you have no other choice!
7 PM, Channel 3 - Wraith Babes: "Cynful"
Meet Cyntheea, the newest addition to the Wraith Babe brothel. She just loves knowing you're watching her every sinful move.
7:30 PM, Channel 1 - Botherguts: "Fatties' Cake-Off"
Burton faces off against Annabelle in a battle to see who can eat the most Eccles cake in sixty seconds while wealthy citizens Maurice and Eleanor pelt them with trash and abuse. Then: who will eat his or her way out of the porridge quicksand?
8 PM, Channel 2 - Hot Shot: "Parton Shot"
Will Sallee finally impress Judge Hope with her interpretation of Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You"? Or will she be sent back to her seat at the power plant in shame and defeat?
8:30 PM, Channel 1 - Botherguts: "Greedy Guts Gorge-a-Thon"
It's a Botherguts battle royale as ten extra-large lardies tear their way through an entire Waitrose cookie aisle, dodging paintball fire from top citizens all the while. Which will be the last tubbo standing? Note: viewers who are upset by the brutality of Botherguts should consider hoarding merits to skip this one; returning champion Beth gets quite badly wounded.
9 PM, Channel 2 - Hot Shot: "Shot Up In The Rapture"
When it's time to wow the panel and keep her from having to return to her purgatorial existence riding an exercise bike all day to generate power for the richest citizens to enjoy, Grace gives her all to Anita Baker's "Caught Up In The Rapture."
10 PM, Channel 3 - Wraith Babes: "Lace"
Former bikie and Hot Shot washout Grace is rechristened Lace, and — having decided that nothing can be worse than the bike plant — embarks upon a career as a sex worker for your entertainment. Did she make the right choice? Is it worse to be the person starring in the hideous shows most drones can't turn off, or the person forced to watch? Something for you to consider while you sleep fitfully under glaring screens before waking to do it all again on another day of a potentially endless string of days from which you have only one extremely remote chance for escape (into sex work)!
