Charlie Brooker to cameo in Sniper Elite 3 game

He may have keyboard warriors taking him down in the comments section of his columns, but Charlie Brooker now has a new army of aggressors to face: the players of forthcoming video game Sniper Elite 3.

The Methuselah-like panel show begins its 47th series, with Jennifer Saunders in the host's seat for the first time. How she's never landed the gig before when the likes of Fern Britton and Jerry Springer have is a mystery. Elsewhere, Pointless chap Richard Osman will put his panel show nous (he's had a hand in creating 8 Out Of 10 Cats and Charlie Brooker vehicle You Have Been Watching) to good use as a guest panellist. It's years past its real peak, but still diverting enough.

Review: Weekly Wipe - It's not just comedy

You might love Charlie Brooker, you might loathe him, but the fact is he and his show are really quite remarkable, because it really takes apart the horrendous products of modern television and really hits home the issue of shoddy mainstream journalism, something that many of us let easily slip by.

TV rewind: Black Mirror

Sci-Fi is at its scariest though, not when it transports us to faraway lands and presents us with the frightening or grotesque, but when it presents us with the frighteningly possible and realistic. That's the world presented by Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror, a series which presents a skewed version of our own reality in a set of cautionary tales that are both terrifying and frighteningly realistic.

Charlie Brooker carries on his brilliantly on-point review of the week with help from trusty pals such as curious-yet-clueless Philomena Cunk and one-man Vine machine Limmy. Expect cutting takedowns of all the week's daftness, from political blunders to shocking soap opera storylines, all delivered with Brooker's trademark vitriol.

TV review: Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe, BBC Two

I've loved Brooker ever since I first came across his TV Go Home website back in the days of narrowband, but last night's episode was a relatively thin gruel of grumpiness, despite having a team of crack writers, compared to the bile-filled riches he used to serve up when I imagined him scribbling away alone at home, steam coming out of his ears, in a dingy bedsit in his pants. Charlie Brooker is, how can I put it politely, in danger of getting a bit too nice.
