If only someone could do something similar for the video game industry!
It's a curious thing that apparently as soon as someone attempts a TV show about video gaming, it will inherently lead to a middle-of-the-road, mainstream, overly accessible bore which is akin to stretching out the first few pages of a journalistically void gaming magazine from the mid 90s over half an hour.
What I *would* love is a TV show that could shift the emphasis from just being about which games can demonstrate the most purty particle explosion effects, into something that might actually assume you already play games, know games, and maybe think games can actually aspire to more. Edge in TV-form, I guess. videoGaiden was almost there, but not quite.
Such a programme would only find a niche audience still I would watch something like that.

Screenwipe is one of my favourite shows, it's absolutely hilarious and genius at the same time - and does a great job of taking on the TV industry itself with Brooker's cynical approach. Last series was great - the credit squeeze, news special and The Unloser.

I was nervous about this project to begin with but tried to persevere but now realise i've got a long way to go.
Thanks for the messages so far and i'll continue to comment on other mocks.

I've just posted another video on youtube called AWT Sixty Minutes. It's going to be my last for a while. To be honest when compared to some of the other mocks available mine are pretty embarrassing.I was nervous about this project to begin with but tried to persevere but now realise i've got a long way to go.

The episode he did on news coverage and how it's changed was the best by far.
