Did anyone watch this? It's a satirical current affairs programme and was on last night on BBC4. The show is up on iPlayer also. I loved the gordon brown epic fail t-shirts - I want one badly!
 
I thought it was excellent. As funny as Screenwipe but very informative at the same time (the last bit about the school shootings with the psychiatrist was very good). Charlie Brooker is a God.
 
I loved the report on the German school nut, that expert telling them what to do, they do the opposite, every time their is a mass killing in a school it gets huge headlines worldwide.
 
yeah I watched it on iplayer earlier, I enjoy his shows and columns in the paper. I also found it rather amusing yet disturbing at the same time about what the forensic psychiatrist said at the end.

It is true tho, the news is like any other show now. Competing for viewers with anything thats shocking.

Yes, the forensic psychiatrist guy. I was really enjoying and laughing along to the programme until this came on. Very stunning and thought provoking stuff. Been thinking about it all day actually, can't seem to shake it. 20 years he's been telling them !!

I would post the Youtube link, but there is a sweary in it.
 
His (unprintable) reaction to the Catholic woman ranting on C4 news has just made me spit coffee all over my keyboard....
 
The guy deserves a prime time TV slot broadcast simultaneously on all channels. Should be compulsory viewing.

If this happens, he should cut down on the masturbation talk (and gestures) though :D
 
Ah Screenwipe is my favourite program but BBC4 is the ONLY CHANNEL my Freeview box won't pick up.

I thought of this program when I was watching the news the other day and the reporter said (about a man who was being released after being wrongfully jailed when he was 27): "And this Man is about to get his first ever taste of freedom"
 
One of those mugs is just what I need to help me through the financial doom and gloom but I don't think I can afford £7.94, what with all the financial doom and gloom :(
