Even Charlie Brooker doesn’t know how to get the secret ‘Black Mirror’ ending.
The creator of the bleak anthology series has opened up about new interactive film ‘Bandersnatch’ – which features multiple endings based on the viewer’s own choices – and admitted he can’t remember how to access a post-credits scene which shows Stefan (Fionn Whitehead) pulling a copy of his game out on the bus.
He told The Wrap: "Yeah, that is — I believe that is triggered by — so, if you have the ending where he’s on the train that will show you the end credits. And I’m not quite sure — we’re trying to remember ourselves.
"I think that is triggered by — it’s counting how many endings you’ve seen and how many paths you’ve gone down.
"So I think it’s either that you get it straight after the train or, if you haven’t yet done it, it will trigger if you’ve seen like four or five endings, I think. I think. There’s some bit of arcane kind of stuff it’s working out there."
Meanwhile his co-showrunner Annabel Jones insisted while the pair can’t recall how it’s done now, they did have a better idea when it was released on December 28.
She added: "At the time we launched, we would have known — if that gives you any comfort and attempts for us to regain our professionalism."
Brooker pointed out that the fact they can’t remember proves how "complicated" the entire project turned out to be.
He said: "That’s a good example of how complicated the whole thing got — that I can’t tell you how to trigger it."
