Charlie Brooker says he has considered making a Black Mirror / Philomena Cunk crossover.

The creator of both shows admitted he had the idea of an episode in which the dimwitted talking head, as played by Diane Morgan, looked into technology, which could fall under both series.

Then he added, half-jokingly: ‘I reserve the right to revisit that thought.’

The two worlds will collide next week, as a scene in the new mockumentary Cunk On Life features Streamberry, the parody of Netflix that Brooker created for the Black Mirror episode Joan Is Awful last year.

I didn't even know this spin-off existed. Apparently it was called "Dinner With The Parents" and was on Amazon's axed "Freevee" service.

Paddy McGuinness has raised more than £9 million following his charity bike ride for BBC Children in Need.

The Radio 2 presenter, also known for Take Me Out and Top Gear, finished his BBC Radio 2 ultra endurance cycle challenge, which saw him travel through three nations and eight counties over the week.

McGuinness, 51, had a total of more than £8 million on Friday after finishing the 300-mile journey on his dream childhood bike, a Raleigh Chopper, which was painted in the colours of the charity’s mascot, Pudsey.

He announced on his Sunday BBC Radio 2 show that this had increased to £9.12 million.

Scottish businessman Sir Tom Hunter has pledged to match the amount raised up to £3 million.
