New Charlie Brooker Show on C4

[jamestyler]

I Also love how people don't watch it but they all know what its about from friends

Like porn. No one owns any, it was just stuck in the video/dvd player when they got it back from the repair shop.

I'm just honest. I have a shit load of porn. Most downloaded, some bought as it only cost £1 and a crap load of stuff I inherited from a dead guy when his widow found the stash.

As for Sexetra... genuinely never seen it. I'd probably give it a watch to see how cringeworthy it was, or if it was as bad as Sky's efforts. I think it was my mates sister/my partners girlfriend who stayed up watching a marathon of it and I got the 'fuck sake, can't even be the boss of the remote' bitchy text.

So, tonight we get to find out what Charlie thought of Torchwood: Children of Earth. Looking forward to it.

ill YouTube that part

 

[Captain Shaw]

I have only seen half of it.
It has started raining so have lost free view signal.
But could not believe that ITN report it's like Frankie Boyle had took over ITN.

 

[Ethros]

Was a bit shit. Not very funny.

Frank Skinner... I had idea who the other two were

 

[wamdue]

ok I watched it up to the end of the Torchwood bit

the panel again unimpressive, and I just dont see the need for it.

ok the young lady who I fear was going to turn out to be Lily Alan was kinda cute, had it not been for her awful accent.

the ITN report was shocking, but its good it has been aired.

on to Torchwood, I just hate the way his reviews are now opened up the panel and rather then give us a master-class in how the show was put together, he opens it up to the group, and attempts to find something they can make some jokes about.

After tonight I wont bother with this show at all.

 

[Haggis and tatties]

Torchwood......The Chuckle brothers with cum shots.....ROFL

Great show tonight especially him ripping ITN and a new one over the Jackson Vs Diana memorial face off.

Good stuff.

Frank Skinner should be on tv more.

 

[Servo]

Frank Skinner should be on tv more.

After this, and his appearance on Mock the Week, I agree. They really should bring back Baddiel and Skinner Unplanned, that was a quality show.

 

[Bob The Skutter]

Not seen it yet, media centre decided to get the friday repeat... bastard. I'll maybe 4oD it.

How do you create drama with a character that can die 6 times over the course of 5 episodes?

I like this... it's like I don't even have to watch TV anymore. Someone in America should rip the format off so I can ween myself off TV entirely.

 

[Pindar]

Grace Dent and Josie Long I love them and no-one else recognises them?

Does no-one listen to radio 4? Josie Long is a comedian and on a lot of the R4 news quiz kind of shows.

I think she was on 8 out of 10 cats a few weeks ago.

Grace Dent is an author, and writes about tv for the Guardian, mainly reality tv in much the same way Charlie Brooker does.

I thought it was much better last night than the week before, clearly they planned to do Torchwood before it aired and had little to say about it as it was so bloody good.

Well watching it was pretty damn tense. I recommend it to anyone.

As for the format, I still prefer Screenwipe, but it's fun enough to keep watching.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

I see CB used the same "Chucklevision with cum-shots" joke he used on Screenwipe when talking about Torchwood.

Apart from the distinct lack of Terry Wogan's nut-sack, pretty much what I expected from Brooker.

To be honest, his lack of critisism on the show was what I expected - I guessed eight deaths as I couldn't remember, but it works the same as new Doctor Who works; the lead is a lonely man who will outlive everyone else and lose everyone he loves. Only Jack is in a grown up show, so he at least gets a shag first.

On paper it looks shit, but in context it made my anti-Torchwoodandanythigwho girfriend cry. Not an easy task.

Agreed - though no idea why it was cancelled. Unless ITV objected to the signing.

The ITN thing was the highlight for me. Absolute genius. It's as if ITN was asking for creative input from a few of us on twitter. Whoever came up with that - he deserves a pat on the back.

 

[firehawk12]

Yeah, maybe I need to actually watch it... but the out of context clips made it look like... well, Bonekickers.

For that comment you need a slapping.

 

[firehawk12]

Okay... it looked like Survivors?

 

[Bob The Skutter]

Survivors was pretty good...

Well whatshername wasn't pulling a Michael and whining about her son. They really should have had her texting with her kid over an old computer terminal!
