I'd sooner watch Brooker than Chris Moyles anyday.

There just aren't enough celebrity quizzes on TV.

Somehow with Charlie Brooker at the helm, I don't think it's going to be much like All Star Family Fortunes.

Probably not. But I still can't muster much enthusiasm for yet another panel show/Cele quiz - Charlie Brooke or no Charlie Brooker.

Hm sounds like it will be another p!ss poor format from the makers of Celebrity Ding Dong, Moyles Quiz Night etc. Just a reminder to all fans...Newswipe starts tonight!

There's a clip in the C4 Spring/Summer preview at channel4.com/presspack. Looks like David Mitchell is one of the captains.

It'll be interesting to see tonight if Charlie Brooker comments on how the Jade Goody story has been covered.

No, I think that people are jumping the gun a bit at the mention of 'quizzing' - it sounds to me essentially like a chat/review show with a few structured questions. A bit like TV Heaven, Telly Hell

I really hope he does. Whilst there has been endless coverage of Jade, it's all been positive. I think Charlie is the perfect person to show just how ridiculous the coverage of Jade has been, considering what other news there was at the time. I mean the beeb have had a lot of complaints about the amount of coverage she has been getting, so it won't be as if it had come out of nowhere.

I honestly don't understand how that man has such a mass following of fans. He's nothing more than a fat bloke trying to be funny and failing in my opinion - not to mention the size of his ego because of it.

Chris Moyles could fart live on air and half the country would start sniffing their radios to try and get a sense of what he smells like!

Because he's a very talented radio presenter and has a very entertaining show.
