Can't wait.

Love Charlie Brooker and all his Screenwipe programs (including the specials like News and Gameswipe)

Should be awesome, shame its not advertised very well, it would do far better in the ratings had it of been. I only found out by logging on to the forum, otherwise I would have missed it!

Agreed. I only found out it had been on when I read this thread. Luckily it's repeated tonight.

My trusty Radio Times informed me, but in the 'small print' of the BBC Four schedule. Nevertheless, fantastic show.

This year's Screenwipe Review seemed a little reserved as usual and I think it could have benefitted from a longer time slot, still funny and spot-on.

Anyone who missed it can catch it again at 10.00pm on BBC FOUR. Oh, and Newswipe is back for a new series in January Very Happy

Personally I didn't feel it was as on form as some of Charlie's other Screenwipe work. Felt very much like a basic list of programmes, without as much of his cutting wit as usual. I hope it was just a case of it not being given enough time, and he's not burned himself out from all the spinoffs...

It did seem like they did it because they had to rather than wanted too. I guess it suffered slightly from their being no Screenwipe at all this year, although at least that meant everything was original rather than "best bits".

Newswipe back in January then. I wasn't interested in Gameswipe, but Newswipe is good. Hope Screenwipe returns for a series soon too.

Is the Gameswipe shown on the 30th a repeat of the original one off, or are they making a new one? Seemed to do very well ratings wise the first time around.

It's a repeat, Gameswipe was a once off special this year although Charlie said that Gameswipe might return next year as a series.

Strange... in his review of the year's telly, Brooker seems to have overlooked that dodgy bottom-of-the-barrel quiz show on Channel 4 .. it was called "You Have Been Watching" or something like that... can't remember who the presenter was.

Great to see Barry Sh!tpeas back on our screens though.

He said there will probably never be a series of it, but may bring it back as the occasional special
