Newswipe With Charlie Brooker. Charlie Brooker. Copyright: Zeppotron
Charlie Brooker takes a look at how graphics have morphed over the years from modest explaining devices to shouty, scary, video game-style extravaganzas. With the help of Nick Davies and Peter Oborne, he also looks at how print newspapers are changing and the underhand tactics they use to get some of their stories. There's also just time for a Susan Boyle rant.

TV Review: News Wipe with Charlie Brooker

There's generally three responses I have to Newswipe with Charlie Brooker. One is admiration at a piece of witty insight. Two is a belly laugh at a funny. Third, and possibly most important is a mixture of outrage and disbelief.
