Details about a Black Mirror episode filmed in Sussex have been revealed ahead of its release next month.
Five new episodes of the science fiction series, created by Charlie Brooker, will hit screens after a four-year hiatus on streaming platform Netflix next month.
The new series features an A-list cast, including Rob Delaney, Salma Hayek Pinault and Kate Mara.
Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul was spotted filming scenes for the show in Rye in July last year for the show’s third episode, Beyond The Sea.

The actor was seen walking through the town, with cast and crew gathered outside The Old Grain Store restaurant, which had been renamed Al Bait and Tackle.
A classic American truck was spotted on the set, with the transformed restaurant draped with the Stars and Stripes.
Beyond The Sea is set in an alternative 1969 and will see two men on a perilous high-tech mission wrestle with the consequences of an unimaginable tragedy.
Production images from the episode show Aaron Paul in an orange boiler suit with an American flag and mission badges stitched to it.
Among the badges include the word “Stanfield”, likely to be the name of Aaron Paul’s character, as well as a reference to a “replica program”.
A trailer for the series shows Aaron Paul on a space station.
Black Mirror fans have also noted that 1969 was the year of the Apollo 11 spaceflight, the first manned mission to land on the Moon.
Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin spent more than two hours on the lunar surface exploring the side and collecting Moon rocks to return to Earth.

Other episodes in the series will follow a woman who is stunned to discover that a TV drama has been made about her life, a troubled starlet dogged by paparazzi while dealing with the fallout of a hit-and-run incident and a meek sales assistant in 1970s England who is told she must commit terrible acts to prevent disaster.
The series, the show’s sixth, is promised to be “the most unpredictable, unclassifiable and unexpected” yet.
No release date for the series has been announced, but the show will return some time in June.
