The show, with the working title "Antiviral Wipe", will be created in lockdown.

In a press statement to a British daily, Brooker said the show will feature other contributors but their names were not given as they "haven't been told they're doing it yet, but have no good excuse not to".

The press release said, "Charlie Brooker has been lured out of isolation, to go into isolation for the one-off.

"Charlie will be taking a typically sharp look at life in lockdown, in a show made during lockdown. As well as coverage of the crisis itself, he'll also be looking at the things people are watching and doing to keep themselves occupied."
