If you love using your Sky remote to bark orders at your TV via voice search there are some new things to try.

That means TV lovers are in for a treat with the most iconic lines from the post-apocalyptic masterpiece added to the voice search function ahead of its season finale.

By using voice search on Sky Glass, Sky Stream or Sky Q, you will be able to jump back into any episode by repeating some of the spiciest quotes from the show.
Simply recite the lines straight into your remote, or if you are a Sky Glass user, go hands-free by saying “Hello,Sky” before repeating the lines.
To jump back into the action at any moment, you must say the following quotes:
● Endure and survive
● When you’re lost in the darkness, look for the light
● Save who you can save
● I'm going to love you for a long, long time
● No pun intended
● I got you, Baby Girl
