British Comedy Guide, 24th March 2015Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe, Series 3 review
Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe may just be the smoothest comedy programme on television. It is also one of the bleakest satirical programmes I have ever seen, but I am well and truly addicted.
Becca Moody, Moody Comedy, 14th March 2015Brooker is back behind his desk, swapping the techno-dystopias of Black Mirror for the equally unsettling current affairs scene. Joining him to strip-search and generally humiliate the week's events will be Cassetteboy and Jake Yapp, along with very confused media commentator Philomena Cunk. And in case you think it'll be a challenge mining laughs from ever-bleaker headlines, Brooker's end-of-2014 Wipe proved that even when the news is gloomy, the way the media breaks it to us will always be ripe for mockery.

British Comedy Guide, 13th November 2014Review: 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.
Alexander Leivesley, The Huffington Post, 4th February 2014Charlie 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.
