Let's Watch Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe!

Screenwipe is my new favourite show, after being a long fan of his Guardian column ( http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/charlie_brooker/index.html ) and his writing work on Nathan Barley and Brasseye I discovered his brilliant BBC4 show "Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe", Which is like a more sweary and cutting version of TV Burp, with some genuinely interesting segments about how the British TV industry works.

If you've never seen it then czech out http://youtube.com/watch?v=znz0f9CjtV4 <--- THIS video, which sets out the show's approach pretty well.

If you enjoyed that i've made a handy quick-reference index of the episodes on YouTube. Enjoy!

edit: if you find any mistakes in the links please post them, thanks!

Blimey, thanks for all the links!

I love his show too. But there's probably some stuff in there that I missed.

Yeah it's great, thanks for all the links.

I love it. It's like TV Burp, but for clever people.

Mark loves it also. It's BSG Favourite.

Genius. Love it, good spot.

Does that mean I won't like it then?

I watched one. He is a bit pompous isn't he.

I think it's safe to say I'm not clever. I much prefer Harry Hill because he makes me laugh. Not this smug bloke!

Do you think? If anything I would say he was largely self-deprecating, unless you find his forceful opinions a little snobbish. Can't please them all I suppose.

I think the fact that he presents it in the dark, only lit by the glowing from his television says everything.

He's bloody hilarious, I can't wait for the next series, hopefully with more episode.

Love Charlie Brooker's stuff. I've been an avid fan of his Gaurdian* column and his TV show is wonderfully acerbic. I find myself agreeing with most of what he says... which probably means I'm getting old.

*I'd have used 'sic' here... but that would have been incorrect... :)

'Cry on it Bitch! Go on cry on it!' Laughing out loud Charlie Brooker rocks, just senn Nathan Barley on 4OD and its so good. My favorite screenwipe moment has to be where he dresses as Jonathan King for his American special.

S2E4P1(3:50): "This is like the Blair Witch Project for c**ts"

Another Charlie Brooker fan here. The first I knew of him was when I discovered his Screen Burn article about Gillian McKeith and "You Are What Yout Eat" on the Guardian Web site. I've read Screen Burn ever since and think it transferred really well to TV.

I don't find him smug at all. I think Harry Hill's TV Burp is great too. Much more gentle of course but then he is limited by being on at 5.30pm or so on a Saturday.

Oooo... Thank you for posting them. That will keep me quiet for a while. :)

At 6:50 he shows a clip of "To Catch A Predator" (google it) but with comedy music and a laughter track Laughing out loud

I wish I could find this on torrent, 'cos I don't really wanna sit at the computer and watch a marathon session, why did my damn laptop have to break?!!
