Charlie Brooker

Charlie Brooker returns for a second series of this wryly amusing panel show, in which he goes through a selection of topical TV clips with three guests, quizzing them on the content and generally being a cynical wit: think Harry Hill's TV Burp meets Have I Got News for You, with minimal emphasis on actual point-scoring. Tonight, Brooker's guests are David Baddiel, Liza Tarbuck and comedian Kevin Bridges.

For most TV aficionados, Charlie Brooker winning Best Newcomer at last year's British Comedy Awards was a strange one. The man whose full name is actually "The Acerbic TV Critic Charlie Brooker" has been around for a while now, but an award of some kind was fully deserved. You Have Been Watching is one of those comedy panel shows that masquerades as a quiz. Brooker invites three celebrity guests to join him as he shouts and shakes his fist at the world of telly. Points are awarded, but there are never right or wrong answers - just biting, satirical wit and surreal silliness.

Recent RTS winner Charlie Brooker returns to primetime for a second series of TV comedy quiz YHBW. The emphasis is of course on the funny, with great and/or odd clips of recent TV, and gags from guests Liza Tarbuck, David Baddiel and Kevin Bridges.

A well-deserved second series for Charlie Brooker's vitriolic panel show, which vents its spleen on the best and worst of the week's crop of telly. It's essentially a more mainstream format of Brooker's show Screenwipe - although not as mainstream as the BBC's similar effort, As Seen On TV - which was more of a projectile vomit than a TV burp.

YHBW is usually a good place to catch up with all those digital TV oddities that might have escaped your attention while you were watching Countryfile.

On this week's show Liza Tarbuck, David Baddiel and Scottish comedian Kevin Bridges will be trying to score points and attempting to work up the same head of amusing, free-flowing rage that Brooker manages so effortlessly.

Viral Video Chart: Charlie Brooker on TV news

The viral blockbuster award of this week definitely goes to Charlie Brooker. "It starts here with a lacklustre establishing shot of a significant location," is the first sentence of Brooker's spoof news report for BBC Four's Newswipe showing, of course, no significant location but some random dirt-brownish looking skyscrapers in the London Docklands.

Newswipe becomes YouTube's top rated video

Charlie Brooker - the British writer, satirist and grumpy television reviewer whose regular skewering TV's more inane moments has made him a cult figure in the UK - has now gone global, after a two-minute clip from his show Newswipe became the top rated clip of all time on YouTube less than a week after it was posted.

TV Review: Newswipe with Charlie Brooker

It's good to have Charlie Brooker back and on-bile. Yep, the nicest grump on TV returned with his brilliant series, Newswipe with Charlie Brooker to lance the truth-pus out of the boil that is The News.

There's a strong tradition of savage ripostes to the madness of current events - chiefly from America. With Have I Got News for You still providing the spikiest satirical take on current affairs in the UK, such shows are undoubtedly up for Daily Show-style rejuvenation, a service the second series of Newswipe - a reliably savage Charlie Brooker production - looks certain to continue. Journalists such as Marina Hyde will comment on news events, there will be authored pieces and a poem, but it will be the presenter's eye for the monstrous and absurd that will provide the moral focus.

Lock up your granddaughters: Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross are reunited for the first time since Sachsgate as one of the teams on this annual topical ding-dong. Expect edgy banter from the controversial pair, alongside fellow panellists David Mitchell, Claudia Winkleman, Rob Brydon and Newswipe's Charlie Brooker. Jimmy Carr keeps score.
