Black Mirror 'The National Anthem' - Pink Script - 1/8/2011 - 21.

CAMILLA Telegraph has the full video and an interactive timeline, tonally stark, brief mention of ransom being a sex act, nothing too gross...

They near the press office...

INT. DOWNING STREET PRESS OFFICE - MOMENTS LATER. DAY 1. 25 This is Tom Bilce’s little fiefdom. Computer monitors, and two big tellies at the side. One is tuned to UKN News. TOM and CAMILLA enter. * CAMILLA * The Sun’s site runs with ‘TAKEN’; * big grab of Susannah, mentions the * demand euphemistically... * It’s a poky room, with desks, and three young assistants in their twenties. One of whom is the quiet, faintly nerdy assistant called ANDREW we saw in a corridor earlier. He’s currently on the phone, speaking slightly in code. ANDREW * (on phone) Of course I still want that drink. *

We watch Tom’s face, staring intently at the TV as CAMILLA continues with her coverage assessment. MALAIKA (on phone) I’m friendly when I drink. Very friendly when I’m grateful.
