A quick heads up: 10pm on BBC4 tomorrow night for a five week run. Very funny viewing.

Maybe there is a god after all.

Well I used to love Screenwipe, but I won't be watching it since it was revealed on this forum that Charlie Brooker is a twat.

What, where, is this official, like.

Mick Jagger is a twat, but that doesn't stop me listening to the Stones, similarly Jim Morrison (ultra-twat) and the Doors. It doesn't matter if someone is a twat if their cultural contribution outweighs their twattery. I'd almost be disappointed if Charlie Brooker turned out to be a normal affable bloke. Its like if I ever met Keef, I'd be upset if he didn't tell me to fuck off.

Yeah, tell us more. How much of a twat? Like Mondragon, says when you get to a certain age (a long long time ago in Mondragon's case) you realise that just coz you are a fan of someone's work don't mean they are a nice person...so what has Brooker done or said that has soured his work so badly?

I believe it would have been a reference to the latter pages of this discussion -

Of course Charlie Brooker is a bit of a dick; Screenwipe would be a bit shit if he wasn't, wouldn't it?

Can't wait for this, cracking show.

Ah! ok - no point going over this old ground again then.

Unless of course tonight's programme throws up any more evidence as to whether he's a twat. But even then everyone seemed pretty much agreed that he is a bit of twat, but that shouldn't be a barrier to enjoying what he has to say. Personally I couldn't care less if he's rude to people at Endemol - I'm sure they are used to working with much worse than him by now.

Anyway thanks for the heads up Clav Divs - I'd forgotten about this.

Being a dick to anyone responsible for 'Big Brother', even in the slightest aspect, should qualify someone for hero status, your medal is in the post Mr Brooker.
