Black Mirror Season 1 Episode 2

Fifteen Million Merits

Bing feels trapped living in an enclosed, automated space, as a member of a society that rides power-generating stationary bikes in exchange for "merits", a form of currency they can use to buy necessities or entertainment. One day, he hears a girl named Abi singing in the bathroom and falls in love with her. He decides to give her fifteen million merits as a gift so she can buy a ticket to appear on a talent show programme. Abi reluctantly accepts and enters the contest, where she is given a psychotropic beverage to drink before she goes on stage. The judges are impressed with her singing, but they suggest she is better suited for pornography. Unable to think clearly, Abi accepts their offer. Bing returns to the stationary bikes, determined to earn the merits he needs to enter the contest himself, and finally manages to buy another ticket. When he gets onstage, he takes the opportunity to express his indignation and threatens to commit suicide while others watch from the audience. After Bing's speech, the judges offer him a weekly show, where he will have the opportunity to rant about the system. Bing accepts their offer.
