Charlie Brooker has scoured through a whole year's worth of cultural detritus to test your knowledge of what was really important during the last 12 months...
Charlie Brooker, The Guardian, 23rd December 2010As a regular and reliably funny thorn in the side of the mainstream broadcast media, Charlie Brooker's satirical round-up programme Screewipe (think TV Burp with claws) has amassed a devoted following on BBC Four. It transfers to BBC Two for this one-off programme, in which Brooker leads a wryly amusing tour through the big news and TV stories of the past year, including the Chilean miners' rescue, the Pope's visit and the ongoing saga of Ricky and Bianca in EastEnders.
The Telegraph, 23rd December 2010Mr Brooker's Wipe strand gets a promotion from BBC4 to terrestrial with his inimitable review of the year in news, telly, politics, games and film. The whole caboodle. Chipping in to help Charlie out are brilliant comic misanthrope Doug Stanhope, who'll be looking at the BP gulf oil disaster; Britain's best comic poet, Tim Key, with some dark, topical verse and - another Guardian writer - Grace Dent will be getting her hands lathery with a review of the year's soaps.
