And I think I'd listened to like a true crime podcast and the guy was sort of recounting some grisly, like terrible, terrible incident and then sort of had to suddenly pivot into pitching a sort of food delivery company, like kind of seamlessly. And this struck me as darkly hilarious. And so going into that podcast,

I thought, okay, here's a, here's a, that's a very Black Mirror-y idea because I'd been thinking about, well, what if you had a service that could kind of stream part of your brain? Like, you know what I mean? If you lose part of your brain that was a backup, it can stream it to you, but you've got all these issues to do with coverage, cell coverage. Right.

And then the idea of adverts, that became a funny and quite dystopian thought. And so I approached that story thinking, this is going to be a comedy. And it is a comedy until it isn't. And I think that's why it's quite, um, I think obviously in that episode, I think it's a very powerful episode.

Right, you're right. We've all been saying it and none of us know. So I quite like taking a premise that's sort of comic and then you find the sort of, sometimes the horror angle, sometimes we've done episodes that are more optimistic. But I suppose there, what am I saying, that I...
