Holy crapsticks! David Mitchell and Charlie Brooker are presenting election night show on C4

[policywonk]

It's the MN dream team!

I'm afraid Jimmy Carr will be on it too. But that's how you'll know it's time to go to the loo and make tea.

OMG - too fab.

Tonight!

Wills et my reminder, and DH isnt here to complain about 'more bloody politics'

That's my telly sorted for that evening then.

I know it sounds good, but really you simply can't forsake Uncle Peter and his trusty swingometer. You just can't.

Maybe C4 will fork out for a swingometer for them? [hopeful emoticon]

wer-hoo!
(but boo to Jimmy Carr)

Not tonight Violet - election night. And, erm, who's Wills? (Apologies if I've completely misunderstood you there)

Yes I know what you mean Martha. But I watched the Beeb's coverage of Obama's election and it really stank . Dimbleby was awful. Just like a swing voter in a godforsaken crap town, I think I'm ready for a change.

Oh crap, was getting all excited then!

Oh why can't we have CB for PM....

noooooo not Jimmy Carr

I can't watch him

What will I do? I love the other two.

MN dream team indeed

Brilliant!

I meant - will set my reminder. My computer is doing funny things today!

Ah right violet. I thought you were saying 'Wills ate my reminder'. I was thinking, huh?

That is just brilliant: usually fall asleep to follow elections avidly on Radio 4 but this will see me switching on the telly.

I can't stand Jimmy Carr either but had a dream about him the other night - ugh, and, very confusing.

Isn't Charlie Brooker the obnoxious chairman of some TV quiz show about TV? Sorry, been out of touch with TV for 30 months and on checking the channels find a lot of repeats and a lot of junk.

Then again, it might be aimed at people half my age, so I should perhaps vegetate with "The Champions", "The Professionals" and "On the Buses" (yuk, I only added that for a joke!)

Great!

aquavit, would you like some bromide?

WebDude, there are so many panel shows about TV, I dunno whether he's the one you're thinking of. His was called 'You Have Been Watching', I think (never saw it). But he's brilliant, honestly.

How to report the news

I think that I do at least need to do a pregnancy test (or perhaps just refocus on Charlie Brooker)

I think CB might come across better when you are familiar with his written stuff - it makes more sense of his TV style, iyswim. But it's part of his charm that he's not groomed for TV

pregnancy test

there's a song somehwere on youtube called "Charlie Brooker is right about everything"

and it's true, y'know...

here it is

OMG - I seem to have fallen into a thread full of the Charlie Brooker fan club...

I am in love with Charlie Brooker, seriously the man can do no wrong in my eyes, and he is very good looking.
