Charlie Brooker: The Olympics - better than they looked

Watching sport is usually less interesting than watching cardboard exist. Now my eyeballs are eating up the Games.

Brooker has 'spoken to writers' about more Black Mirror

Charlie Brooker insists there are no concrete plans for new episodes of Black Mirror, which was snubbed at the Baftas at the weekend, but admitted he has spoken to 'lots of writers' about the show's future.

Christopher Hooton, Metro, 30th May 2012

A welcome return for the panel show hosted by Charlie Brooker that looks for the worst in everything and spins it into comedy gold. For example - your ideas, please, for the most appalling concept album? I'll leave you to insert your own ideas there and introduce the panellists: reliable Lee Mack; rising Scottish comic Susan Calman (a News Quiz regular); and the "who he?", Daniel Maier (answer: a writer on Harry Hill's TV Burp, so no slouch when it comes to gags).

You'll laugh your socks off - and future episodes are also worth catching, with guests including "the Legend" Barry Cryer, Graham Linehan (Father Ted) and Isy Suttie, doleful Dobby from Peep Show.

Charlie Brooker interview: 'It's a fairly daft show'

Charlie Brooker returns to BBC Radio 4 with a new series of So Wrong It's Right. Here he talks about some of his own 'worst' things.

Morgan Jeffery, Digital Spy, 16th May 2012

As many listening to this reversal-of-convention panel game will loathe chairman Charlie Brooker as love his iconoclasm. Not every show is going to meet with universal approval. Yet radio does so much comedy that people tend to forget Alan Partridge was born here and Whose Line Is It Anyway? blazed a trail all the way to the USA.

Charlie Brooker: Not excited by the Olympics?

British people don't appear to care about the Games, so it's handy there are the Olympic sponsors to help us get into the spirit of things.

Charlie Brooker: Last week, I became a parent

Call me dense or cold or both, but I wasn't anticipating the wave of euphoria I'm experiencing now that I've become a father.
