Comedian Bec Hill’s Bandersnatch day was both incredibly random and hilarious
The most recent episode of Charlie Brooker‘s Black Mirror is an interactive experience called Bandersnatch. The concept echoed the old “choose your own ending” books or video games and got a positive reception; the show trended on Twitter, with comments like these:

Comedian Bec Hill decided to hand her life over for one day by entering into Bec-a-snatch, accompanied by her mother who was visiting from Australia. With Twitter making all the decisions, you can probably guess that things didn’t always go smoothly – this is what happened.
She started simply, like the show had, with a choice of breakfast.
Welcome to Bec-a-snatch. For one day, you have 5 mins to make each decision for me. There will be a photo, followed by a poll. First one: pic.twitter.com/QpwuGWFUS2

The next options were a little riskier.
What should I listen to in the shower?

The public’s bad decision received the scorn it deserved.

Even the day’s outfit was left for Twitter to decide.

Going sightseeing with Mum today. What should I wear?
— Bec Hill (Be Chill) (@bechillcomedian) December 29, 2018
It went better than the shower music.
Right. All dressed and ready to head out with Mum. pic.twitter.com/55UkJeaHZs

The next decision could have ruined the whole day before it had even started.
Do I…
— Bec Hill (Be Chill) (@bechillcomedian) December 29, 2018
Luckily, it didn’t.

There was a slight hitch.
In Borough Market. Have lost Mum. pic.twitter.com/kRs4d3AyfZ

So, Bec asked for guidance.
Do I…

This wasn’t exactly helpful, but we love Bec’s crying face.
This has not helped. pic.twitter.com/1PUzz5jDxO

Mum was still lost …
Ok, try again.

She was tracked down to a pie stall. #squadgoals
This is where she was. pic.twitter.com/1lbZ6sxlGU

The fiendish public decided Bec should secretly film her mum.
Near the Golden Hinde (old ship) now. Do I…

A little game-playing entered the mix.
We popped into a pub so Mum could go to the loo. Probably to recover from such a brilliant prank we all played on her. Just spotted this: pic.twitter.com/XRdvu0bANK

With a glitch.
I had to delete the last poll because I set it to 24 hours and pic.twitter.com/121KruLyw1

Ok, do I get…

Twitter decided they should go full tourist.
A staff member of The Globe just walked out and announced the last tour stars at 5pm.
