Weekly Wipe


Ah Mr Brooker is back again. He's got a new series in the same vain as his previous “wipe” shows. It follows the same format, using the same talking heads. The only real difference being a short comment segment with “real” celebrities. This involved Richard Osman and Susan Calman discussing Django Unchained. Quite why they decided to do this I don't know, but it was enjoyable.

I've been a fan of Brooker for many years. I remember watching the original Screenwipe on BBC4 back in 2006. He has refined his art over the years but certainly hasn't lost any of his acerbic whit and savage criticism of the media.

The new series is good. I look forward to the rest of the run.
