Brooker's Newswipe is back baby!


By johnsaunders - Posted on 27 January 2010

News satire show Newswipe has returned to BBC4 for a second series, presented by the seemingly ubiquitous Charlie Brooker (it's in a similar vein to his Screenwipe - about TV). The first series was certainly worth watching, mostly for the guest segments (the best of which were by Adam Curtis and Peter Oborne). Funny - and occasioanally quite thought-provoking stuff.

Brooker is so scathing. It's hilarious. Almost enough to ease my hurtful lament of Frankie Boyle's Mock the Week departure.

He'll be sadly missed

*moment of silence*

I loved the episode you linked too, the segment on the snow was absolutely amazing and - in my opinion - pretty damn accurate. I also liked the fact that it even made reference to the Irish news (Rté) and their portrayal of the 'menacing' snow. xD
