Black Mirror's back - and now it's on Netflix.

But are you sturdy enough to binge-watch the entire third season, out this Friday (October 21)?

That's the question we put to the stars of the show - could they take six straight hours of harrowing technological terror?

Digital Spy spoke to Bryce Dallas Howard and Alice Eve ('Nosedive'), Alex Lawther and Jerome Flynn ('Shut Up and Dance') Gugu Mbatha-Raw ('San Junipero') and Malachi Kirby ('Men Against Fire').

All six actors had a different answer about the six-hour marathon - but what do the creative team behind Black Mirror have to say?

"I think our attitude is you can binge or you can graze... the episodes are there for anyone, at any time," said executive producer Annabel Jones.

"We're a 'graze-watch' - it's a new thing!" quipped series creator Charlie Brooker. "It's interesting, because you do have to bear [the binge-watchers] in mind.

"We've been trying to sequence [the episodes] and I keep changing my mind every 10 seconds on the order that we put them in. Because they can go in any order, so it gets a bit like sequencing an album."

And BAFTA-winning director James Hawes, who helmed the season's feature-length 'Hated in the Nation', had this to say:

"I've seen the whole range of the variety of what's coming. So it depends on your mood, it depends how big a takeaway you've bought for the evening and what you've got to do the next day...

"It does depend on the order you watch them in, as well, because some are going to leave you thinking, 'OK, I need to walk away for a moment' - but that choice of how to watch is there and it's rather thrilling."
