Black Mirror is returning to our screens for a new series in June - get hyped. It has been four years since fans of the dystopian drama were last treated to a taste of the anthology TV series and 12 since it first aired in the UK so safe to say, its return has been long awaited. But since it first graced our screens in 2011, a lot has changed in the world. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Life has often imitated art and Black Mirror now seems less of a dystopia and more of a documentary. Especially in these seven instances where the show was just a bit too on the nose... 1. PM has sex with a pig In season one of the show, a kidnapper demands that the prime minister, Michael Callow, has sex with a pig on live television to secure the safe return of a British royal family member. While this certainly did not happen in real life, it sounded a bit like Piggate - a claim that surfaced in 2015 that, during his university years, former prime minister David Cameron inserted his penis into a dead pig's mouth at a party. 2. People ride bikes for tokens In another season two classic, Black Mirror writer Charlie Brooker imagines a world where people ride stationary bikes for a virtual currency used to buy essentials. Today in Paris's station Gare Du Nord, people can ride bikes to generate power to charge their phones while they wait for their trains. 3. AI versions of deceased loved ones In season two episode Be Right Back, a woman brings her dead boyfriend back to life (kind of) by getting an android version of him, which learns his speech patterns by using his social media posts and online communications Last year Amazon revealed an experimental Alexa feature that allows the app to mimic the voices of users' dead relatives. 4. Joke politicians go viral The Waldo Moment sees a satirical computer-animated bear become a politician. Now we could resort to some rubbish satire of our own and say all the politicians we have in the House of Commons are no better than cartoon bears but that would be cheap. What is the case is that joke candidates like Count Binface and other representatives from the Monster Raving Loony Party frequently outperform fringe candidates in by-elections that take place in the UK nowadays. 5. People rate their social interactions In season three, an episode called Nosedive sees people rate all of their social interactions on a five-star scale which then go on to form a person's socioeconomic status. This is quite similar to people rating each other on Uber and swiping across each other on dating apps like Hinge and Bumble if you ask us.

Tracking health through tablets In Arkangel, a season four episode, Marie implants her three-year-old daughter with an Arkangel system which monitors her health, vision and hearing via a tablet computer. It is not too dissimilar to the rise of Apple Watches and FitBits which people use to obsess over their resting heart rate, sleep score and step count. 7. The rise of dating apps In Hang the DJ, people use an electronic device called "Coach" which chooses their partners and the duration of their relationship. Nowadays there is always a new dating app every other week promising to find people love and happiness in different ways. So it is safe to say Black Mirror really had its finger on the pulse when envisioning a not-too-distant future. We can't wait to see what phenomena the next few episodes will predict.

Premier League clubs and fans are turning to Taylor Swift fans in an attempt to win their players and managers awards after it emerged that Swifties are helping Jude Bellingham pick up a gong as well. Earlier this week it was reported that Bellingham is now the front-runner for the prestigious Golden Boy award after the vote was hijacked by Taylor Swift fans who found a quote from Barcelona's Alejandro Balde, who confessed to not liking the pop star's music. Swift fans have now put their full support behind the England international who has made a promising start to life at Real Madrid. With this in mind fans of Premier League clubs have started a trend where they try to get the attention of Taylor Swift fans to get them to vote in the respective player, save, manager and goal of the month competitions for August. The likes of Liverpool, Arsenal, West Ham and Chelsea fans are all claiming that the likes of Raheem Sterling, Bukayo Saka, Jarrod Bowen, Jurgen Klopp, Mikel Arteta and Alisson Becker are fans of the 'Anti-Hero' singer. Brighton have even posted from their official account to say that their Japanese winger Kaoru Mitoma is a Taylor Swift to help him win goal of the month. As the current standings in the voting are kept a secret it's hard to know if this Taylor Swift trend has impacted the results but we won't have to wait for long as the winners will be announced next week.
