Starts Tonight. I presume it's on at 10.30 on BBC4. I should probably check.

Screenwipe is ace and the 2007 episode on telly news was probably the best one (s4e03) if anybody wants to look for it), so I'm looking forward to this.

One day I'd like to be Charlie Brooker.

I'd love to be Brooker to and I started out okay, I'm a bitter games journalist. Now I just need to start up my own tvgohome.


Oh and get some talent.

Just watched the second one and its good... but not as entertaining as Screenwipe. Perhaps it’s the lack of mock-wanking that Charlie can do over the news.

Don't know but perhaps doing serious stuff makes it feel shallow and superficial but taking the piss out of the mascarased dandruff from Dance Academy for being superficial seems more fitting.

Watched this last night, was superb.  Will be catching up with the older stuff and definitely be making a point of watching future episodes.

*bump*

New series starts Tuesday, 22:30 on BBC Four.

He's picked a good week hasn't he.  I think amongst the comedy, his intelligence when it comes to a serious issues such as Haiti is really rational and sensitive which makes for a potent combination of laughs and poignancy.
