Charlie Brooker last night BBC 2 TV 10pm

[GabbyLoggon]

Mr Brookers series is called "How TV Ruined Your Life"

Charlie thinks TV News etc lacks a sense of proportion and makes us miserble.

Frightens us when there is not too much to be frightened of.

His series takes no prisoners; but it is very funny if you have that sort of sense of humour.

I think the BBC are brave to let him on

Cheers "Gabby"

Bugger, was it on last night? I wanted to watch that.

Did you watch his other series. screenwipe/newswipe?

I saw it. Brooker is a genius.

No, I think I saw some of screenswipe, Tether.

This new one may well be repeated on a minority channel. There are 5 more episodes
to come..

Some of it made us howl with laughter.

He will upset some people; but behind the madness charlie makes serious points. cheers "Gabby"

I love Charlie Brooker, but will never forgive him for marrying Konnie Huq and not me

Charlie Brooker is my favourite and my best.

CB ruined it with his snarky "did you lot complaining about EE know that it isn't really real.." piece.

Brooker's great, sorry I missed this. Will look out for the repeat.
Dawn of the Dumb was hilarious, was reading it on the bus and couldn't hold back the laughter.
Probably looked like a right nutter.

Thank you. Tv set.

It's a similar thesis to the one in Bowling for Columbine, and one I do agree with (did not see the prog. yesterday). I also think someone should make a programme "The Daily Mail/Express Ruined My Life". Many many people who read those become misanthropic, narrow-minded pessimists

Mind you, thank God for our TV news. I watch The Daily Show (or did, before More 4 reduced it to one edition a week) - that's a really funny satirical show that paints a shocking picture of the state of American TV news and political commentary
