Review of Screenwipe Special
This disassembling of TV land made for fascinating AND hilarious viewing. How often do I get to write that? It showed us all just how much money goes into a TV show... from a 3 hour shoot for a 3 second segment of Brooker falling off a log, to seeing how creative an edit can really be.
