Charlie Brookers Screenwipe

[NW2013]

Don't forget "You Have Been Watching" starts tonight at 10 on C4. Not actually Brooker designed this one so not sure how good it'll be.

Charlie Brooker sets his caustic sights set on video games. Expect acerbic comment as he looks at the various genres, how they have changed since their early conception and how the media represents games and gamers. Features interviews with Dara O'Briain, sitcom scribe Graham Linehan and Rab and Ryan from Consolevania.Stereo, Widescreen, Subtitles

Only a one off rather than a series, but 50 minutes of Brooker goodness on videogames is still golden imo.

Hooray!

[NW2013]

I suppose it might have been difficult to produce enough material for a series. Looking forward to this.

Same here. Charlie Brooker is fantastically hilarious and informed. Can't wait to see his take on games considering his history with it.

Love that the consolevania guys are involved

last night BBC4 had the Screenwipe review of the year, was up to usual standard plus mentioned Newswipe is back in Jan

I particularly enjoyed the Cotton-Geldof bit.

[cutmymilk]

Yeah it was great through Brooker covered most of the last few months on Have You Been Watching.

[dvdmike]

I missed it, is there a repeat ?

Thanks

Pleased Tim Key wasn't on Newswipe this week, his bits are rubbish. Also happy Charlie signed off with his usual "Go away!" which always makes me chuckle. Funny stuff as usual.

Loved that episode with the itn reporter arguing with some fat asbo chav in the street -

"This is a bit like watching a play written by a dog"

That mocked-up generic news report was tremendous:
