    Angry Charlie Brooker's Newswipe

    Erm...excuse me? Why has nobody here alerted me to the existence of Series 2 of Newswipe? I nearly missed the first episode, which is a cracker. Luckily it's here for the next day or so:

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...s_2_Episode_1/

    Do you people think I actually read the Radio Times, or something?

    I love Brooker, he's spot on about everything. I also love Doug Stanhope's little rants

    Re: Charlie Brooker's Newswipe

    Sorry for not pointing it out, I thought it was a little too niche for most people's tastes but I love Charlie Brooker. I follow him on Twitter, read his highly amusing Guardian columns and have seen everything he's done in recent years.

    You can still catch up with EP 3/4 on iPlayer, although I have them all "saved" on my computer...
