  1. Peak British humour, timeless, Slightly chaotic, and somehow still Feels like a National treasure every time it pops Up.

  2. This is every news report I’ve watched and chosen to forget. Lovely.

  3. Someone else beat me too it, except I was going to say peak British _satire._

  4. We need more Charlie Brooker on TV, his stuff is always gold. I miss his Yearly Wipes.

    At least he launched Philomena Cunk who has become iconic in her own right.

  5. genius… oooh! might have go and read tvgohome, now… thank you!

  6. My favourite Charlie Brooke anecdote is I was years behind catching up to all his news and games and years wipe. He had an apartment where he shot one of the shows and when I was hammered getting home one 6am morning he tweeted he was going for a run or something posh, and I asked is that a studio or is that really your apartment. And he replied. I was too hammered to remember what he replied but he replied. Ahhh. Memories. Or lack thereof.

  7. Fucking love Charlie Brooker. Screen wipe/wipe of the year/games wipe and news wipe are all available on YouTube for your viewing pleasure.

  8. So is it any wonder people are afraid of technology.

  9. I often wonder whether the fatties know they’re being filmed.

  10. This is why we need the BBC. Brilliant comedy. Doesn’t take itself too seriously and takes the piss out of itself and its own news reports.

    Although, I feel this slowly changing and has been less of it.

  11. Brilliant. Haven’t watched live news in a while; surely they’ve phased out the freeze-feame monochrome bullet points bit now? Maybe just replaced by dark red text on a “white” washed-out background instead?

    Only thing missing is a cut to a live reporter who:

    * Pauses for 5+ seconds before starting their report, even if they’re in the UK, because satellites
    * Is on scene in the dark and in poor weather where nothing of interest is happening
    * Reports on how it’s clearly pointless for them to be there
    * Is slightly interrupted by a passer-by walking into the shot, or a group of kids jumping around and doing wanker signs in the background

  12. How much you would love to get back to days when they produced quality telly

  13. Chris Morris has a lot to answer for.

    All good, of course.
