The dystopian scifi anthology series Black Mirror is known for making eerie predictions about the future, but it seems that The Ricky Gervais Show’s little round-headed buffoon Karl Pilkington was way ahead of the curve when he outlined the plot of two storylines from the new season of Netflix’s hit show back in 2012.
The fourth season of Black Mirror hit Netflix on Friday offering six new episodes of terrifying technological twists that feel a little too plausible. Almost immediately, some people started noticing that some plotlines from the finale episode, “Black Museum,” sounded a little bit familiar. Karl Pilkington, the man that Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant loved to listen to and make fun of on The Ricky Gervais Show, had sketched out the basic premise of the episode pretty clearly. Now, a kind YouTuber has synced up clips from Black Mirror with Pilkington’s explanation and it seems that he could have a pretty good case to ask for some royalties. (This is where we’re going to get into some minor spoilers.)
