What TV Baftas is Black Mirror: Bandersnatch up for?
Black Mirror: Bandersnatch is nominated in the Single Drama category at the Baftas 2019.
The Netflix programme was also up for the Editing: Fiction award but lost out to A Very English Scandal.
Troy: Fall of a City beat it to the Special, Visual and Graphic Effects gong in the Bafta Craft Awards that took place on Sunday, April 28.
Netflix programme The Alienist was also nominated in the effects category.
Netflix show Take Your Pills-Blue Spill failed to win in the Titles and Graphic Identity, which was scooped by the BBC's Winter Olympics 2018 coverage.
The only other Netflix show up for a Bafta is Queer Eye, where Tom Completes His Transformation is up for Virgin Media's Must-See Moment, which is voted for by the public.
The annual occasion is on May 12, 2019, and can be watched on BBC One starting at 8pm.
How can I watch Black Mirror: Bandersnatch?
Bandersnatch premiered on Friday, December 28, 2018, on Netflix.
The psychological thriller is currently only available to be streamed on the media-service provider.
No other platform currently owns distribution rights to feature the title on their channel in the UK.
You must have a subscription to Netflix in order to catch the film in its full length.
The official synopsis for Black Mirror: Bandersnatch reads: “In 1984, a young programmer begins to question reality as he adapts a sprawling fantasy novel into a video game and soon faces a mind-mangling challenge. Welcome back."
The show has an interactive choose-your-own-adventure format, and it's claimed five hours of footage was filmed, with multiple endings based on how YOU played the story.
Who's in the Bandersnatch cast?
Comedian Asim Chaudhry stars as Mohan Tucker while Hot Fuzz actress Alice Lowe plays Dr Haynes.
Londoner and Dunkirk leading man Fionn Whitehead takes on the main role as game programmer Stefan.
Rising British star Will Poulter will play game creator Colin Ritman.
Craig Parkinson, who played bent cop "Dot" Cottan in Line of Duty, is Stefan's dad.
Is Jerome F Davies from Black Mirror: Bandersnatch real?
Jerome F. Davies does not appear to be a real author.
His books, including The Lives of Jerome F. Davies, are fictional creations for the Black Mirror film.
The word Bandersnatch actually comes from Alice In Wonderland creator Lewis Carroll in Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There.
There also seems to be a reference to Lewis Carroll in the trailer when Stefan apparently steps through a mirror.
There was a real 1984 game called Bandersnatch, but it was never released.
It was being developed by Imagine Software as a new generation of game but that folded after 18 months.
