A Buckinghamshire High Street was featured in the hit Netflix TV series Black Mirror.
If you have been catching up on the old episodes of Black Mirror, you may have spotted a familiar-looking location in the dystopian drama series exploring the twisted side of humanity and technology.
Chesham High Street was featured in the very first episode ever called ‘The National Anthem’, which premiered on December 4 2011.
In the episode, the fictional Prime Minister Michael Callow (Rory Kinnear) faces a shocking dilemma when a loved member of the Royal Family is kidnapped.
The kidnappers force him to perform a harrowing act live on TV and broadcast to the entire nation to save the Duchess.

Shots of the quiet Chesham High Street and empty central London were used in the episode to show how everyone was at home and glued to their TVs as the Prime Minister fulfilled the kidnappers’ demands.
The discovery of Chesham's Black Mirror link comes only days after the latest season six aired on June 15.
It is tipped to be the “most unpredictable season yet" boasting a star-studded cast, Netflix said.
The cast includes Aaron Paul of Breaking Bad fame, Salma Hayek Pinault, Josh Hartnett and British actors Himesh Patel and Ben Barnes among others.
