Black Mirror: 10 Times It Creepily Predicted The Future

10. The Pig And The Prime Minister

The Episode: Black Mirror's first ever episode The National Anthem saw the UK Prime Minister forced into having sex with a pig on live television, in order to fulfil the demands of a terrorist who has kidnapped a member of the Royal family. The event naturally tickles the users of social media, who have a field day with porcine puns.

How It Came True: You'll no doubt have heard of this one. Four years after the episode aired, a biography about David Cameron was published which made the claim that, as part of an initiation ceremony into a students' dining club at Oxford University, Cameron inserted a "private part of his anatomy" into the mouth of a dead pig.

Though it was an uncorroborated report, the notion ran riot on Twitter. Workplace productivity even went down in the wake of the story. British news outlets also bent over backwards not to explicitly state the facts of the accusation. Exactly as it happened in the episode.

Brooker himself obviously couldn't resist commenting on so-called #Piggate.
