And for those who really dislike Charlie and couldn't watch his shows without wanting to put your foot through the tv then I would ask you to at least watch this clip.....

Cheers for putting that up, knew it was on last night but missed it, oh Ive got catch up on demand might try that later too, hes well funny. Found out he wasnt as clued up as first thoguht though after someone posted a column about 9/11 here. Basically taking the piss out of anyone who thinks its a conspiracy, went down in my estimation, but hes still a funny dude.

Then you really need to watch the final video I posted. I'm not saying it states clearly that he's clued up in the way that you may want him to be, but he certainly shows himself to be astute enough to not be written off.

Oh aye I agree hes clued up with things. Hes always exposing the news for the bullshit that it is and Ive always liked the guy he just went down a bit in my estimation when I seen this thread, http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showthread.php?t=38459&highlight=Charlie+Brooker+Guardian
Your right though in saying maybe hes not what I want him to be but as you say hes still exposing the media and its b/s which can only be good thing. Probably one of the most subversive things on mainstream tv, which could maybe help a lot of folks realise things. I actually think a lot of people do know this stuff but their just not interested.

yeah i watched this, when i heard he was doing a news discussion/comedy show i was disappointed as we've got tons of these on allready.
however it was very good both serious and funny. charlie nailed it with the german shooting case.

A nasty piece of work. Not my kind of guy.
The worst sort of home counties, middle class, Grammar school little snot.
I've met loads like him over the years and have always been instantly repulsed.

So you watched the clips and are giving your opinion on them, yes? Not just posting on a thread and having a go for the sake of it?
Anyway, thanks for the bump! :)

Jesus! I missed episode 3, just catching up now - Glenn Beck scares me!!
I just wanted to point forum members to this excellent bbc3 news/satire program. In particular the last segment of the fist episode which discusses school shootings. Anybody else watch this?

someone mentioned Charlie Brooker to me last year & since then have turned loads of people on to Screenwipe. This is one of my faves
Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe: Junior Christian Science Bible Lesson - YouTube
have just shown my other half the newswipe segment on school shootings ...good stuff
Not too sure about Charlie himself, but well worth watching
