I think we have malleable rules on that. Sometimes it’s useful... So in Black Museum, Rollo Haynes works for TCKR, which is the same company that we see in ‘San Junipero’ and he’s going into a hospital called St Juniper’s Hospital. There’s a clear sort of through-line there, that we don’t bother to explain.But he continued to say that a lot of the connections were born out of convenience more than anything else.
But on the other hand, we sometimes have used the logic [of another episode]. Often it is to do with the gadget. We did The ‘Entire History of You’, which is the episode where everyone can rewind memories, and they use a little thumb controller thing to access the UI in their eyes. And then we came to do ‘White Christmas’, which also had a sort of in-retina system, we went round the houses trying to invent different modes of technology, and then thought, why do we just use the one [we already came up with]? [It was] laziness. We’ve cleared the company name for that, and we’ve designed the thing.Annabel Jones went on to say that she found the old prop in a draw, and just thought they might as well re-use it. So it seems all those fan theories were mostly misplaced. Just because most movies and TV shows are plotting five steps ahead, it doesn’t mean they all are.
