"He insisted on not being hugged. So I went out of my way, every time he came on set, to go and give him a big hug, despite my blue. I tried to always keep him on his toes…"
That's Milanka Brooks (@MilankaBrooks) talking about Black Mirror co-creator Charlie Brooker's visits to the set of USS Callister.
She goes on to recall the time Jodie Foster glimpsed her greenish post-work hands - but couldn't really say why, thanks to the non-disclosure agreement.
Remind yourself of the Season 4 opener with our USS Callister episode analysis.
There's loads more fun behind-the-scenes stuff from Milanka on the pod - enjoy!

Yorkie and Kelly seem doomed to be star-crossed lovers in San Junipero, with one of Black Mirror's cruellest twists threatening to keep them apart forever.
Enter Nurse Greg, the most selfless character ever to be written by Charlie Brooker.
The man behind the nurse, Raymond McAnally (@MtnMack), joins the pod this week to tell us how he felt when he won the "golden ticket" of being cast in Black Mirror's double-Emmy-winning and most-loved episode.
Hear more from Ray on his Amazon Prime show, Ray McAnally's Size Matters (US or UK).

"He literally loves the sound of his own voice!"
That's Douglas Hodge (@Dhodgem) on his character Rolo Haynes, the owner of Black Museum.
Doug skyped into the pod from New York, where he's in rehearsals for the play Fire and Air.
He tells us about acting out every single word of the Season 4 finale, why he wasn't very friendly to Letitia Wright (Nish) on set and what "bashful" Charlie Brooker was like to work with.
Remind yourself of the episode with our Black Museum episode analysis.

It's not really a fan favourite, but @MirrorTech's Jeff Parsons (@jparsons989) and @MirrorPolitics' Mikey Smith (@mikeysmith) like it, so this week they've joined the podcast to tell you why The Waldo Moment matters.
A cartoon figure who says that politicians are rubbish (but runs for office alongside them), that the political system is rubbish (but competes for power within it) and is inexplicably popular with large swathes of the public - it's no wonder that people see the rise of President Donald Trump foretold in this episode.
Looking to the future, does the growing influence of the tech sector over all of our lives mean that a Mark Zuckerberg run for office will one day be dominating our newsfeeds? Or at least the Animoji version of him??

… happens for a reason!
Season 4's most adorable episode is about a love that overcomes 'The System'… at least 99.8% of the time.
The voice of that system - Coach - guides Amy (Georgina Campbell) and Frank (Joe Cole) through their dating hits and misses before they meet their Ultimate One on the ominously-named Pairing Day.
Actress Gina Bramhill (@GinaBramhill) - the voice of Coach - tells us what it's like for a Black Mirror fan to get a part on the show, and why she's just as surprised by the ending as we are.
Read our review of Season 4's Hang the DJ here.
