Another day, another Black Mirror: Bandersnatch Easter egg, and this one comes courtesy of star Will Poulter, aka Colin.

If you remember, in one scene in the interactive movie, Stefan (Fionn Whitehead) visits Colin in his flat, where you're given the choice of who jumps off the balcony.

However, the rather harrowing scene overshadowed some rather niche Easter eggs in the flat which you may have missed.

"A few of them became apparent to me at different stages," Poulter told Den of Geek. "Some of them were pointed out to me.

"I was told... did you see that there are records in my collection that were released years after the time in which it's set so as to suggest that potentially Colin does time travel? Actually, my brother sent me a text about a poster, did you see that one?

"I think it's an Akira poster, and he said, 'You realise that was released later than 1984?' That's kind of cool. Again, it just speaks to the genius of Charlie [Brooker] and Annabel [Jones] and David [Slade] as a director.

"The detail they're able to incorporate and the way they're able to lace in Easter eggs and appeal to the more attentive viewers and die-hard fans."

On top of the time travel Easter eggs, it seems that Bandersnatch also contains nods to the upcoming fifth season, at least according to co-creator Brooker.

Black Mirror 'Bandersnatch' is streaming now on Netflix, while season 5 is due to be released this year.
