Charlie Brooker's one-off festive special for Channel 4: two men, a snowy cabin, a Christmas dinner and a long evening of stories to pass the time. Jon Hamm and Rafe Spall swap tales of work, love and the near-future gadgets that turned out to be a very bad idea, and three stories wind together into something nobody sees coming. It was the last Black Mirror before the show moved to Netflix, and it's the sort of Christmas telly you won't shake off with the washing up. Definitely not one for the kids, or Nan. Settle in with the lights low and the good chair turned to face the screen.
