Given two integers, s and e, print the title of Black Mirror series #s episode #e.

Expected output is as below, case sensitive. Output for blank cells and invalid inputs is unspecified.

e↓s→                          1                  2                     3               4                              5                6
 1 | The National Anthem       | Be Right Back    | Nosedive            | USS Callister | Striking Vipers              | Joan Is Awful  |
 2 | Fifteen Million Merits    | White Bear       | Playtest            | Arkangel      | Smithereens                  | Loch Henry     |
 3 | The Entire History of You | The Waldo Moment | Shut Up and Dance   | Crocodile     | Rachel, Jack, and Ashley Too | Beyond the Sea |
 4 |                           |                  | San Junipero        | Hang the DJ   |                              | Mazey Day      |
 5 |                           |                  | Men Against Fire    | Metalhead     |                              | Demon 79       |
 6 |                           |                  | Hated in the Nation | Black Museum  |                              |                |

(The episode "White Christmas" is grouped with series 2 on Netflix, but originally aired as a standalone special, so it is not part of the challenge. The film Bandersnatch is likewise standalone and exempt.)

This question was posted before the release of series 6, at a time when it appeared the future of Black Mirror was in jeopardy. I have added series 6 to the challenge; answers posted before this edit are still considered valid.

  • \$\begingroup\$ Can we make a function that returns the title instead of printing it? \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @Dion As far as I know, returning rather than printing is always allowable. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @Dion Returning is just printing to the function output. \$\endgroup\$

A perfect task for Husk's string compression. Seasons are separated with newlines and episodes are separated with 'x'. Then:

!x'x!¶¨...
      ¨...     Big compressed string
     ¶         Split on newlines
    !          Take the line corresponding to given season
 x'x           Split on 'x'
!              Take the title of the given episode

Because Charcoal uses cyclic 0-indexing the last series and last episode of each series will wrap around to 0 so they actually appear first in the table.
