Charlie Brooker - You Have Been Watching (C4 22:00)

[RDE]

This series starts tonight on Channel Four and apparently is in a panel quiz format.

I have enjoyed Brooker's previous shows. Sometimes bits of them fall flat with me but for the most part I think he hits the media where it needs hitting and makes some witty and erudite observations.

I have a knawing sense of worry about the sound of this latest offering though. I'm not sure Brooker suits a panel show and I can't imagine it's the best forum for being scathing about ninny-headed broadcasting.

Still, here's hoping.

Looking forward to this although have noticed that curiously it is 50 minutes long?

[Baby Huey]

Should be very good I don't think Charlie would get involved in anything cheesy.

Was there a pilot episode of this a few months ago or am I getting confused?

Its pretty funny. IRA v Taliban was very funny! Jamelia looks good too.

Yep all that loss of life and money, when the IRA could have sorted it with a couple of slingshots...

[EDLT]

That was rather good, there needs to be more Jamelia on tv.

[T89 Callan]

Brilliant, especially as it was the first show and is bound to improve.

The comment about Joradan/Piers Morgan = overexposed tts at the beginning was pure Brooker genius.

I going to my usual streaming sites now to try and find "Dealiest Warrior".

Another spot on programme from Brooker, don't know why I was worried.

[Baby Huey]

Loved it. As said above, can only get better.

Jamelia should get her own channel, 24 hour coverage please.

[defblade]

The format was appalling and painful to watch....

....but worth it for the bits of Screenwipe poking through. Charlie is always so sharp and on target

[Republik]

Very funny last night. Especially comparing Torchwood to watching Chuckles Brothers with cum shots

[T89 Callan]

Another good episode, the source material wasn't as funny as last week (Deadliest Warrior!!!).

Brooker is a hero for never ever mincing his words.

[RDE]

I guffawed a couple of times last night, with "fk you ITN!", and the impression of the exaggerated eulogising at Michael Jackson's funeral.

[Republik]

I think its safe to presume Frankie Boyle is going to go to hell!

[RDE]

Richard Dawkins would be a safer bet.

Some parts of the show don't really work in the audience format very well I don't find, but I still enjoyed it.

[anonymous-user]

Anyone got a .gif of that America's Got Talent audition gone wrong?

[Republik]

Deadliest Warrior which was featured on the first episode of You Have Been Watching, is due to start on Bravo very soon!

[ofcorsa]

The format of this show is clunky and the panel look awkward, But Frankie Boyle and Charlie Brooker should be on TV more,

They also got my support when Jamelia looked extremely fine on the first episode.

[OllieWinchester]

Who is that josie bird on tonights show then?

Did anybody else think "The Swan" was a deeply sad programme? Taking advantage of people who clearly have deep-seated issues for cheap tv is pretty fking low.
