The first episode of Black Mirror caught our attention, considering the main plot point was the prime minister being blackmailed into having sex with a pig. Though difficult to watch, it was a thoroughly entertaining series, and got everyone talking.

Such was the critical buzz that surrounded Charlie Brooker’s rather bizarre trio of satirical shows, which also gave TV talent shows their deserved kicking, Channel 4 has confirmed that it will return for a second series.

The new series will air in 2013, and we have read that the new shoes will look at at how 'technology has transformed almost every aspect of our lives before we've had time to stop and question it'. Vague, but better than nothing to go on, we suppose.

If you can’t wait until next year, you can get a bit of Brooker’s spoof detective show A Touch of Cloth when it launches on Sky1 next month.
