BBC2 - 22:00

Season 1 Episode 1 of 6
Fear.
New series. Screenwipe satirist Charlie Brooker reveals how concepts such as love and success often fall short of the mark when depicted on screen. He begins by exploring themes of fear, including ominous public information films and grisly crime dramas. Features archive material from film and TV, as well as sketches and interviews that illustrate the extent of the gulf between fiction and reality


Seems a bit like Screenwipe, should be good.

Still not on iplayer, but amazingly now available "elsewhere". How are men with hooks for hands able to upload TV programmes faster than the BBC?

[Jon C]

Brilliant.

[RDE]

It seems to be Screenwipe in everything but name. A lot of the programmes have featured in SW in the past too. How confusing.

Still good television though.

[Frankeh]

Charlie has mellowed too much, imo.

It is on there now and well worth a watch. It is basically Screenwipe but that's a good thing

Shagging Connie Huq would do that to you too

[weyland yutani]

Yeah he isn't as cynical as he used to be, lost something but still funny . . can't believe he's married to that Connie girl!

[g3org3y]

Enjoyed this very much.

[Eric Mc]

I enjoyed it.

He has to be a bit more mainstream these days I suppose and I don't mind the fact that his language has toned down a bit.

He's the sharpest TV reviewer since Clive James in his "Observer" days (1976-82).

[Rich_W]

I like it

Much better than the pap that is "The 10 O clocks show" (and I like Brooker and Carr)

Exactly. He's punching way above his weight there, good on him.

Speaking for the nation again. 'Try visiting Darfur'

I did laugh at the Barry stpeas teen comedy production

[EDLT]

Even better than last week's episode. Why is this so good and that thing on Channel 4 is so st?

[Frankeh]

The st on C4 is live.
