Executive Jack Napier ( Jason Flemyng) notes that Monroe is standing to become a member of parliament in the by-election for the fictional constituency of Stentonford and Hersham. Despite this, Jamie is unsatisfied with his life, particularly over a recent breakup. After Conservative politician Liam Monroe ( Tobias Menzies) files a complaint over his interview, a television pilot starring Waldo is commissioned. On a topical comedy show, Jamie Salter ( Daniel Rigby) plays Waldo-a vulgar, animated blue bear who interviews public figures under the pretence of a children's television programme. The characters of Waldo and Jamie received mixed reception. The episode was considered by critics to be very poor in comparison to other Black Mirror episodes, with criticisms made of its reliance on tropes and its ending. Initially based in part on the politician and future British prime minister Boris Johnson, the character of Waldo was widely compared to business magnate Donald Trump following his successful 2016 campaign to become President of the United States. The episode is in contrast to other Black Mirror episodes with its contemporary setting it explores public distrust of politicians. Waldo's popularity continues to rise, but Jamie becomes increasingly discontented with the role he is playing. Meanwhile, Jamie and another candidate Gwendolyn Harris ( Chloe Pirrie) develop feelings for each other.
