The princess is discovered unharmed in the streets, the finger having belonged to the kidnapper. Callow loses even more support.Īfter being informed that neither he nor his family will have protection from repercussions if he refuses, Callow is forced to perform the indecent act in front of a live global audience who are disgusted by the sight but remain watching. The building is revealed to be a decoy and a reporter is injured during the operation. This drives Callow to order an immediate rescue operation on the building where they believe Susannah is being held. The story is outed and public opinion turns sharply against Callow who now demand he follow through with the kidnapper's ransom. The kidnapper discovers the ploy and sends Princess Susannah's finger to a UK news station as a response. When the video was first received Alex Cairns (Lindsay Duncan), one of the PM's aides, began faking footage to broadcast. The public's response is initially one of sympathy towards Callow, and the majority do not expect him to go through with the demand. Although the UK media initially agrees not to report the story it soon reaches foreign news networks, forcing the UK media to follow suit. Callow also demands that the news not reach the public, but the ransom video was posted on YouTube and has already been viewed and downloaded by many members of the British public. Callow adamantly opposes fulfilling the demand and does all possible to catch the kidnapper before the deadline. For her safe return, the Prime Minister Michael Callow (Rory Kinnear) must have sexual intercourse with a pig on live national television, with a list of technical specifications designed to make it near-impossible to fake.
Princess Susannah, Duchess of Beaumont (Lydia Wilson), a much-loved member of the Royal Family, is kidnapped. This was first broadcast on 4 December 2011. The National Anthem is the first episode of the first series of channel 4's Black Mirror.
