Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker says Netflix interactive Bandersnatch episode has scenes so secret even HE can't find them

Netflix hit Bandersnatch uses a groundbreaking choose your own adventure format.

And Charlie, 47, says its so dense and vast that even the production staff can't remember all the hidden treasures.

He told the Hollywood Reporter: “I don’t know how many endings there actually are — I think I’ve forgotten.

When his co-creator Annabel Jones suggested there are five, he hit back “No. There are more than that.”

Director David Slade said: “There are scenes that some people just will never see and we had to make sure that we were OK with that.


"We actually shot a scene that we can’t access.”

Charlie and co-creator Annabel , as well as producer Russell McLean clashed over the options and the ending.

Brooker said: "There were quite heated debates about what constitutes an 'ending'.

"There’s a school of thought that says any time it stops and you go back, that’s an ending. In Bandersnatch, there are endings that are really abrupt that are still endings, in my mind."

Netflix claims there are only five endings, but that there are multiple ways to reach them.

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."

Bandersnatch, which at an hour and 30 minutes IS the longest Black Mirror ever produced, launched on Netflix on December 28 – giving anyone lucky enough to be off work plenty of time to watch it.

But as the show has a choose-your-own-adventure format, and it's claimed five hours of footage was filmed all together, fans can be watching it for hours, depending on which choices they make – and how many times they go back and re-do the storyline.
