Charlie Brooker's 2016 Wipe review

Cynical metropolitan elitists such as myself have one thing to hold onto at the end of this abysmal year: Charlie Brooker tearing it to bleeding shreds.

Joseph Hallas, On The Box, 30th December 2016

Even as TV's foremost black sky thinker, Charlie Brooker would probably have struggled to predict the turbulent, feverish and generally dispiriting events of 2016. Suffice to say that Brooker isn't short of material for this year's rewind. However, there'll be some light relief as Philomena Cunk goes head to head with grinning pop-rave professor physicist Brian Cox, and Diane Morgans media caricature gets a spin-off show immediately afterwards in Cunk On Christmas (10pm).

Unprecedentedly odd: The Entire Universe reviewed

As you've probably noticed, TV critics spend a lot of their time trying to identify which other programmes the one they're reviewing most resembles. Sadly, in the case of BBC2's The Entire Universe, this noble quest proved futile.

James Walton, The Spectator, 29th December 2016

It's almost as if everything that has happened in 2016 has been leading up to this moment.

Once again Charlie Brooker is back with his unique look back at the year and this week he looks back on the ups and downs of 2016.

Helping Charlie to make sense of the year's news, TV and online phenomena is Philomena Cunk. In her most challenging interview yet, Philomena tries to understand what it is Professor Brian Cox is actually saying.

Eric Idle on The Entire Universe

The Monty Python man has written the story of our universe, all 100 trillion years of it from start to finish - told in 60 minutes. Who said the licence fee wasn't value for money?

TV review: The Entire Universe

Noel Fielding as a shiny gold Bee Gee singing about gravity? That's just one of the many delights of this truly odd programme which mixes music, comedy and science in a way that has rarely been done before. The Sky At Night this ain't.

The Entire Universe review

With Eric Idle, Prof. Brian Cox and guests, The Entire Universe is a rare programme that manages to inform, educate and entertain...
