Not sure the Bruce Willis interview on The One Show was worthy of quite so much screen time.
Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe - Series 1 Page 5
I could watch half an hour of The World of Shitverts alone.
HERRING !!!!

He's like a big hairy hedgehog
I'm loving these, and I'm happy for what little Brooker I can get.
The credits said "WWritten by...". Mistake?
I was LAUGHING all the way through it. It may not be Brooker at his personal best but it still is a funny show.
I do enjoy his shows, but as a latecomer I wish I'd been there when he was a bit better.

That.
It was all very good except for the Bruce Will bit when the "dopey" woman kept going on about Die Hard. It was like flogging a Findus Lasagne.
I still have reservations about the format, but I laughed a lot during this episode, so who cares?
I really didn't enjoy this episode at all. The whole show feels like filler and old jokes.
Take Me Out has been on the air for years - commenting that it's degrading is not a new perspective to anyone. Bruce Willis was a bit pissy on The One Show? Anything to say about that or are you just letting us know? A woman left a comment online that was a bit rambling and another person said he'd shag Helen Mirren - so what? The same gay couple has done multiple TV interviews which shows that...? Richard the III buried in a carpark "but they didn't have carparks back then HAHA" - that joke is months old! "Flogging a dead Findus lasagne" might have been funny a week or so ago but everyone's already done that joke, too.
Where's the clever analysis? Where's the social commentary? Where's the scathing, biting satire? Where's everything that has made Charlie Brooker's previous shows a success?
On black mirror clever Charlie fooled the silly bbc
I'd agree with the school of thought that this series feels a bit Brooker Lite. It's still funny, and has me smiling alot, but it feels quite mechanical at times. His early work seemed to be informed by fury, now it feels like he's doing it for the paycheque.

Black Mirror isn't bad, but he has a tendancy to come up with great conceits and then blow them slightly with flatfooted dramatising.
Indeed. It's pure Kilgore Trout.
