Charlie Brooker's Gameswipe commissioned

Charlie Brooker has confirmed via his Twitter account that Charlie Brooker's Gameswipe, the latest spin-off from his popular Screenwipe format, has indeed been commissioned by BBC Four. In this new series, the journalist will look at the impact of computer games on society - both positive and negative.

Brooker also revealed that Newswipe With Charlie Brooker will return in 2010, and Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe will be returning for an end-of-year round-up.

His latest show, You Have Been Watching, will begin on Channel 4 on 7th July. The format will see Brooker offering his unique interpretation on the curious, wonderful and often inglorious world of television, and four guests in turn will be quizzed on the week's TV highlights.
