This week, we cover Black Mirror Season 4, Episode 4 - Hang the DJ

The System, known as Coach, is a dating platform designed to find users their perfect love match through a series of relationships of varying lengths that calibrate their compatibility via a mysterious algorithm. We see Frank and Amy on their first dates at the start and follow them through the episode, where, frustratingly, it seems no subsequent relationships quite have the spark that they had.

Our cultural artefact for this Podding On episode is the 2004 British horror parody television show created by Richard Ayoade and Matthew Holness, Garth Marenghi's Darkplace.

We chat about the Pilot Episode - Once Upon a Beginning
Directed by Richard Ayoade
Produced by Charlie Hanson
Written by Richard Ayoade and Matthew Holness
First aired Thursday, 29th January 2004

When Dr Liz Asher played by Madeleine Wool played by Alice Lowe arrives for her first day at Darkplace Hospital, she has an ominous vision: blood, guts, a real horror show. Boss Thornton Reed, played by Dean Learner, played by Richard Ayoade, wants this resolved, in a strictly orthodox manner. But Dr Rick Dagless MD, played by Garth Marenghi, played by Matthew Holness, rarely does things by the book. But fortunately his buddy, Dr Lucien Sanchez, played by Todd Rivers, played by Matt Berry, is there to offer a helping hand.
