Ratings are low but higher than they were, this was on Broadcast's website.
I think that maybe people that loved Dead Set were curious to see the man behind the show. And if you missed any shows over the years...
The entirety of Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe in order!

Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe hits record high
BBC4's acerbic TV review show Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe gained its highest audience ever last night with 235,000 viewers (1.72% share) tuning in at 10.30pm.
The half-hour programme, which sees the Guardian columnist slate a variety of TV shows, managed to gain a high of 248,000 (1.99%) in the final quarter of an hour.
The start of the new series was over double the channel's slot average for the year so far of 113,000 (0.81%).
The BBC4 show's previous highest audience had been on 5 February last year when 224,000 (1.31%) tuned in at the earlier time of 10pm.
The show also pulled in a sizeable amount of both upmarket and younger viewers. Just over 79% of the audience were from the ABC1 demographic while 46.8% of those watching the show were aged between 16 and 34.

This programme should be repeated on BBC2 but never is!!! Madness!
The last series at least did get repeated on BBC2, even with references to BBC4 being changed for 2, but it was at something like 11pm wasn't it?

Not bad for BBC4!
Hopefully it'll get a decent repeat slot on BBC2 at sometime soon. It deserves to have millions of viewers!

I know I'm being selective but those bold'n'italic figures are very impressive. I doubt you would find any commercial television channel controller who would not kill for a programme that ropes in the lucrative advertiser slobbering-over ABC1 16-34 demographic in such numbers in one go.

Well as I said a few posts back, there all up on You Tube, minus a few bits taken out here and there for legal purposes.

Excellent show, another case of Brooker and the team bringing back some level of sanity on the Ross/Brand issue (similar to what they did with the fakery scandal in the first ep of last series).
Wish I caught some of the earlier series now.

Considering the number of repeats it gets (although the hours of the repeats appear to be later this year), and the fact that it's apparently BBC4's most popular program on the iPlayer, it'll probably get a fair amount more once its' all totalled up.

Thing is, Broadcast have it the wrong way round - a percentage of the total viewership of Screenwipe is virtually meaningless. What would be useful is "what percentage of ABC1 & 16-34 viewers watching TV at the time were tuned to Screenwipe".
Bear in mind that some-crap-on-ITV1-which-gets-3m-viewers would need only around 6.2% of its' viewers to be ABC1s to beat Screenwipe on that score, and only 3.7% of its' viewers to be 16-34 to have more viewers from that age bracket.
Broadcast doing that is worse than useless, because it's misleading.

I assumed that some of it was from YouTube/iPlayer

Yep - most of the stuff was better-than-VHS. Suspect DVD - though thought composite PAL Sky+ might also be an option - once this has been round the block twice (once on first TX, then through an edit and again on second TX) it will also look pretty ropey.
