Oh, I'm delighted to have just found out, while looking for that Dead Set link, that Big Brother has been <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/aug/26/big-brother-dropped-channel-4" rel="nofollow">axed by Channel 4 today</a>.

He's a comedy writer and says things to make people laugh. I've been a fan since he started writing his Screenburn TV reviews in the Guide in the Guardian. I love his Screenwipe series on BBC4 especially his Newswipe ones. This one provides a great perspective on how the news reported the credit crunch, for example. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dm4GiyyVKQQ I can’t imagine anyone following Charlie Brooker anywhere.

Anyone on the left following him is heading for oblivion. Never watched Brooker before, and would go right out of my way to ever watch him again.

Instead of appealing to Dan Hannon's sense of morality and adopting a high moral tone, Charlie Brooker instead just called him a prick. and not just any old prick. He's a "boggle-eyed, slap-headed, unpleasant, revolting, heartless, shit-brained, attention-grabbing, foetid excuse for a prick." Brooker would never cut it among the Irish liberal left. The prick.
