The vast majority of them are written by one guy, the shows creator, Charlie Brooker[1]. He's a UK comedian who has written a number of great shows such as "Screenwipe"[3] (a comedy documentary about the TV industry), "A Touch of Cloth"[4] (crime drama satire) and "Nathan Barley"[5] (which pokes fun at the London hipster scene and was co-written by Chris Morris[2] who is another UK TV legend)

Don't forget 'Dead Set', a really good zombie TV series set in the Big Brother house (Very critically acclaimed).
Also 'A Touch of Cloth' is funny, essentially British 'Police Squad'/'Naked Gun'.
