The technique was first described in a booklet called Secret Magic Revealed, authored by Nelson White and his Wife Anne. The two reportedly worked together in the 1960’s and 70’s. While most of us don't have the stomach to even get through 2020 in the present tense, perhaps by the time this project is done, he'll make us all laugh, too. The black mirror facial reflection-distortion technique is derived from literature attributed to Carroll Poke Runyon and his affiliate Nelson White. I’m sort of keen to revisit my comic skill set, so I’ve been writing scripts aimed at making myself laugh." I don’t know what I can say about what I’m doing and not doing. At the moment, I don’t know what stomach there would be for stories about societies falling apart, so I’m not working away on any of those. In an interview with Radio Times, he said this: "I’ve been busy doing things. In fact, Brooker himself has stated that he doesn't know how much patience or appetite he has left for bleak stories about the world falling apart. However, as stated before, Grant In A Wig is really good, and he's particularly excellent at playing "repellent" these days (see: The Undoing, The Gentlemen, Paddington 2), and when Brooker cuts his bitterly satirical misanthropy with humor and/or heart (see, respectively, "The National Anthem" and "San Junipero"), it really works. In fact, the track record of Brooker's bleakness alongside what I'm dubbing the Songbird Effect - "I don't want to experience any media about 2020 right now because it's hard enough just living through 2020" - makes me a little less than excited for this mockumentary.
