In the pilot, a politician is driven to an unthinkable act to rescue a kidnapped princess. However, the twist in this plot is that the princess is released before the act is carried out. This, therefore, reveals how absurd public scrutiny and media sensationalism are. As such, the National Anthem remains forever in the halls of audacity and disdain for the role the influence of the media has on public morals as it poses the climax to the dark satire embedded in Black Mirror.
