Well a new series has begun. A look at fake TV this week. Next week, having been handed the 'BBC's Rules for Programme End Credits' he's looking into marketing in end credit sequences (or ECPs). Brilliant!

I enjoyed last night's programme. He completely summed up my thoughts on the current deception in television furore and what a load of boll*cks it is.

The dig at the new end credit guidelines at the end was fab - particularly when the CA started talking over the end with no hint of irony. I look forward to his full feature on it next week.

its watchable and passes away half an hour - the only problem is charlie brooker isn't nearly as funny as he thinks he is.

i think its trying to be tv offal and right to reply rolled into one - sadly it doesn't imitate either very well.

I can't agree. Brooker is perfection.

Blimey. I actually took my own breath away when I said that.

Didn't Charlie Brooker write some of TV Offal with Victor Lewis-Smith? Actually bringing him up makes me thibks that we're long overdue another series from him.

We're long overdue another gem from Victor-Lewis Smith. I think his last work was the Keith Allen Will Burn In Hell documentary. Admitally I enjoy the satire of those documentaries but they're nothing without him playing in-front of camera.

Sorry don't agree, i find Charlie Brooker brilliantly hilarious. I think his show should be on BBC1 because it points out such brilliant things about TV which normally completely pass over the publics head. Such as the whole 'Deception' thing.
