The "PM fucking a pig" one was good. Didn't see the ending coming, and it was a more subtle message of "look what you miss out on" rather than "hurdy-dur those damn sheeple spend too much time on their phones! They'll get what's coming to them..." It's the only one so far that felt like it could really happen.
Yeah - the first one is probably my favourite - with White Bear a close second.

One of the problems now with rewatching, or watching for the first time, the first 2 series, is that some of those ideas that were very new then have become sci fi tv and cinema staples in the intervening years. So they don't feel quite so original - even though they were at the time.

White bear for instance has elements that feel almost like the Purge when it begins.
