Live webchat with Charlie Brooker on Monday 23rd November at 12pm

[RachelMumsnet]

Guardian columnist and broadcaster Charlie Brooker will be joining us at Mumsnet for a live webchat next Monday (23rd November) between 12 and 1pm. If you can't join us, post your advance questions to Charlie here.

Actually, more seriously on that last point: I don't think money ever enters into any decision like that. The question would be 'where do I get the most freedom' and the answer is The Guardian.

preggersplayspop, close your eyes and breathe a bit. Apparently they slip out really easily.

Good to hear.

Here's hoping!

MissGreatBritain, favourite game of all time is probably something like Tetris or Fallout or Burnout or one of the Marios or... it keeps changing.

The Official Charlie Brooker Birth Method.
Fall aslepp. Apparently.

Have you had fun? Well, as much as you can have fun without self destructing?

what makes you smile?

Has the fall out from the Jonathan Ross/Russell Brand 'affair' affected what the Guardian allows you to write at all?

Sorry - I realise this is a third question, but I think being given the freedom to write is incredibly important, and I know that - in broadcast media certainly - there has been a lot of fear that has manifested itself in a growing conservatism as to what is and isn't allowed. I wondered if this was making itself felt at the Guardian too?

(Can't say I've noticed it, but I wondered ...)

Jaceybee, we worked out lots of stuff for a second Nathan Barley series, but other stuff got in the way. I'm looking forward to Chris's film.

One of the Barley S2 storylines revolved around him accidentally getting into a scenario where he was sleeping with three different pregnant women at the same time.

There were lots of other ideas too. It was all v different to S1.

asleep

Fuck.

You can't beat good old tetris.

Do you drive, and if you do, do you get road rage?

What do you think will happen when the box in the corner of the living room and the internet are properly one and the same thing?

Will TV be exactly as it is now or will there be a shift of power/networks/control of budgets and production?

I apologise for the complete and utter dullness of this question (but am genuinely interested) and hope you can manage to squeeze cameron jizz into the answer to compensate.

Thanks for answering.

One more thing - has the strength of (sexual) feeling towards you amongst us surprised you? Or do women prostrate themselves before you everywhere you go?

'squeeze cameron jizz'? eeeww

Mario Bros on Wii is very good

BecauseImWorthIt, no pressure from the Guardian, although we quite regularly have chats where they ask me to tone something down -- that's always been the case though, and they're often right to do so.

Re: compliance elsewhere I'm currently having to do bits of Newswipe in advance because more people at the BBC have to be 'across' it. It means our schedule's slightly altered and we may have some extra squabbles but they've not said "you can't say this or that".

I think the TV industry in particular worries FAR too much about what the papers say. Fuck the papers. They're dying anyway.

Could a woman ever be as witty and cutting as you and still be as liked?

Can we all stop mentioning Cameron jizz please?

Charlie, do you like Alabama 3? It just strikes me that you might. Is Buzzcocks the hardest show you have been on?

"Fuck the papers. They're dying anyway."

Let's hope your boss at the Guardian isn't reading this.

Thanks for answering Charlie and thank you Mumsnet... you stars!! x

agree with the tv industry worries too much about the papers. that whole thing with Ross/Brand was fueled totally by the rags. most people really didnt care!

MissGreatBritain, there's no way to answer that.

Nooooooo!! Don't let him leeeeeeave!!!

Cahrlie, do you feel walnut whips make the world a brighter, lighter place or does something else do it for you?
