I will admit I can't often watch this programme the day of broadcast, but when it is repeated on the terrestrial TV channel, and catching up online, I have enjoyed it very much. I only heard of Charlie Brooker because of the brilliant satire horror drama, based on zombies and Big Brother, Dead Set, which he wrote. Of course the DVD came with great behind the scenes footage, with Brooker himself, and I loved how brutally honest he was about his opinions of things, he was kind of like a much more to the point and foul mouthed Simon Cowell. So when I heard he had his own opinions show on, I was definitely looking forward to watching it. It basically consists of Brooker analysing the most popular, strange and talked about programmes on TV, whether terrestrial, Freeview, satellite or Sky, and also a little about how TV itself is made, e.g. editing. Brooker is not afraid to offend the viewers, pick at himself a little, and bring down the programmes and their stars and makers, all to hilariously high quantity. Brooker is now one of my most favourite (deliberate) TV bastards, and I always look forward to seeing which programme, that I may watch, he will pick on, and some of what makes TV possible, a great show. Very good!
