Black Mirror soundtrack: Every song in season 6 of the Netflix anthology
Songs by Boney M and Charles Trent take a central role in the new season of Black Mirror.
There are certain things you know you're going to get with Black Mirror - some bleak dystopias, some creepy tech and an absolutely cracking soundtrack.
While this season may have mixed things up even more than most, one thing that certainly didn't change is the show's use of incredible tunes, with songs from Charles Trenet and Boney M playing a pivotal role in two of the episodes.
There was also the inclusion of a tune which has in many ways come to define Black Mirror - listen back to some of the biggest episodes from across the show's back catalogue and it will be there.
But which songs were included, and who composed the score for the five new dark and twisted tales? Read on for everything you need to know about the soundtrack for Black Mirror season 6.
