What is the point of Mazey Day?

Why is Mazey Day a werewolf?

As I've said before, I believe my ancestors werewolves. This is how it all began. There are many old, superstitious stories about werewolves, of course, like that of the 'baboon', the man-eating wolf and the man-eating bear. But there is one werewolf legend that seems to resonate with me. It's about a woman called Mazey Day.

You may have heard of her before; she's just a minor character from the film Shaun of the Dead. Her name is Mazey, but everyone calls her Day. She's a werewolf.

So where did she come from? The legend of Mazey Day says that she was originally a human, that she changed into a werewolf in her teenage years and had six cubs. As a human, she was a beautiful woman. Now, as a werewolf, she is not beautiful. You can see this by looking at her picture:

But I'm not sure why she was a werewolf. In fact, she is the opposite of a werewolf, or rather, she's the opposite of a werewolf to start off with. A werewolf is usually ugly, because he was cursed to change into a wolf (or sometimes a demon) every full moon. This means that he has no control over the process.

Mazey on the other hand was cursed to have the opposite - for her whole life. She could only remain human. And if you read the legend, it was actually the god, Anu, who cursed Mazey to be a werewolf. Why would the god want this to happen? Well, Anu was the god of the mountains, so Mazey became a mountain.

Where does that leave Mazey? It leaves her to be a hiker, in a forest. And this is where the legend diverges from the real history of Mazey Day.

Mazey is no longer a werewolf. You can see her walking through the woods on her way to see her father, Dr John Day. There's a picture of here, next to an earlier version of the film's poster:

The original version of the poster had her in human form.

Who played Mazey Day in Black Mirror?

For the most part, we think everyone deserves a second chance, but some are just too difficult to give it.

In Black Mirror, that's where Season 4 left off with Charlie waking up in the Black Archive after years of experiments having turned her into an immortal, super-strong superhero. But as the episode "San Junipero" showed, sometimes that experiment goes wrong, leaving the subject dead in the system and unable to be reactivated.

This is where "Mazey Day" comes in and it's one that we can't help but sympathize with. That's mostly because we'd do the exact same thing in Mazey Day's place, given that you're either given one shot at life or a one-way ticket to an unearthly heaven it's an experience we could easily understand going horribly wrong. At least, it would for most people. We hope, for Charlie's sake, Mazey Day got all the second chances he or she needed.

The concept for "Mazey Day" originated from Charlie Brooker's Twitter post in which he shared a brief exchange with a fan only to let on that the story has been "so incredibly well-received" it's being considered for a spinoff series. That fan then asked Brooker if she was ever going to make Mazey Day a reality, to which he revealed: I've written a second episode, which I hope will be as funny, scary & thoughtful as #SanJunipero. It feels great. I'm not sure what we do with it or how we monetise, etc etc, but it feels exciting to have these words on a screen. For me, it's like when I first wrote about the TV show, on Twitter. It used to freak me out when people responded so positively to my words. I felt like it might be the most important thing I'd ever done. And then I made an SF show! That changed a lot of things. (Although now I've written a TV show where the plot is set partly in an SF future where everything is a reality stream/feed/interpolated timeline. I think that this should lead to more books on all the various realities the characters live in.)

This is just the season 4 finale spoiler-free outline, as the finale wasn't shown.

Is Mazey Day a good episode?

It's the third episode of the show, and it's been getting high ratings.

I don't think it's perfect, but it's definitely entertaining. I really liked the first episode, and the second one was kind of good, but the third one is a little bit weird.

I thought it was kind of strange that they were basically saying, "Oh, we just want to give you some more information about the story. We're not going to keep it secret anymore." I feel like that's just kind of weird. I like that they're showing the process of how this all came together, but it's just kind of strange.

I'm trying to think of a way to put it, but I really can't say why I think it's strange. Maybe because I'm an idiot.

It's funny because we're talking about this episode, and it's the third episode. And it's probably my favorite so far, because it's the most real-life-ish episode of the show. There are more characters and more scenes and more of everything. But it's still kind of weird because there's a lot of stuff that they've kept secret.

And I don't know. I guess I feel weird because it seems like they're almost trying to get us to remember what happened in the previous episodes.

Like, why is it that they're trying to show us the whole story? They could have just said, "Hey, this is what happened." I mean, I didn't feel like they were making any effort to try to be sneaky or anything, but it just felt like they were kind of hiding stuff from us.

But maybe it was the right thing to do. I'm not sure.

What is the point of Mazey Day?

It's a day set aside to celebrate Mazey Day, the third day of April.

It's not an April Fool's prank - there are Mazey Days every April and they're quite serious events. For centuries, we have tried to come up with answers to the question: what is Mazey Day all about? The best information available online suggests it originated in 1745 in Norfolk, where it was observed as a day of prayer for the souls of those who died during the Plague in 1665. It has since spread across the country as a day of remembrance for those who died during the Great Plague of London in 1665.

There are no official records of why people chose to observe this day, but it's now regarded as a celebration of those who died during the Great Plague of London in 1665. It may also be about remembering the victims of the Great Fire of London in 1666.

The tradition was revived in 2025 in London and was set up as a registered charity in 2025. Mazey Day is a day of remembrance, prayer and commemoration of those who have died in the 1665 plague epidemic.

How to mark Mazey Day. If you're feeling inspired, you could hold a service to remember those who died from the Great Plague. You could mark the day by holding a candlelight vigil. You could mark it with acts of community service and a charity fundraiser. You could start a blog or journal about your experiences.

Celebrate Mazey Day by thinking about the causes of the Great Plague. What did the Plague do to people? Who suffered as a result? Who benefited? How might things be different if we had better medical care? Who was involved in the 1665 Plague? Who were the victims? What did the Great Plague do to people? What did it leave behind? Who suffered from the Great Plague? Think about the causes of the Great Fire of London in 1666. What did the fire do to people? How might things be different if we had better security and more fire prevention? Think about the causes of the Plague and Fire. How might we have been able to prevent these disasters?
