Summary: <p><a href="https://www.twitter.com/jakereesh" target="_blank">Jake</a> and <a href="https://www.twitter.com/calbelebster" target="_blank">Caleb</a> go it alone to discuss staging '<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifteen_Million_Merits" target="_blank">15 Million Merits</a>' from anthology series <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Mirror" target="_blank">Black Mirror</a>. We'll be putting Charlie Booker and Kanak Huq's 2011 feature length episode, starring Daniel Kaluuya and Jessica Brown Findlay, into our hypothetical theatre! In 15 Million Merits, Bing, who has recently inhereted 'credits' from a relative, meets Abi, an excellent singer, and convinces her to participate in a talent game show to escape the slave-like world around them. The episode is a science-fictiondystopia which features a parallel to reality shows such as <em>The X Factor</em> and figures such as Simon Cowell.</p><br><p>15 Million Merits was the second episode to air despite being the first to be written, and similarly this was the first episode we recorded!</p><br><p>Take a listen and let us know your thoughts <a href="https://twitter.com/maybeulikeit" target="_blank">@maybeulikeit</a> or <a href="mailto:info@maybeyoulikeit.co.uk" target="_blank">info@maybeyoulikeit.co.uk. </a>What would you do differently?</p><br><p>You can find 15 Million Merits on Netflix UK at the time of writing, and the full script can be found at <a href="http://www.zen134237.zen.co.uk/Black_Mirror/Black_Mirror_1x03_-_15_Million_Merits.pdf" target="_blank">this web address</a>.</p><br><p>Find Jake <a href="https://www.twitter.com/jakereesh" target="_blank">@jakereesh</a> on twitter</p><p>Find Caleb <a href="https://www.twitter.com/calbelebster" target="_blank">@caleblebster</a> on twitter and instagram</p><p>Find out more about us at <a href="https://www.maybeyoulikeit.co.uk" target="_blank">https://www.maybeyoulikeit.co.uk</a></p><br><p>Music is from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/Nephersia" target="_blank">Kavana Crossley</a></p><br><p>Maybe You Like It, Maybe You Don't</p><br><hr><p style="color:grey;font-size:0.75em;"> See <a style="color:grey;" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://acast.com/privacy">acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
