Advantages: Can be incredibly imaginative and funny

Disadvantages: Can also miss the mark sometimes and could offend those of a sensitive nature

Guardian journalist and writer of Nathan Barley, Charlie Brooker has his own half hour review of the weekly tv on BBC3. Unlike Harry Hill's TV Burp, this definitely is not fun for all the family, with coarse language, incredibly offensive comments and very, very well thought out synopsis on programmes.

This is very much an extension of Brooker's weekly tv column in Saturdays Guardian magazine and allows him to spout lyrical on anything he sees fit. Much of the time this can involve taking aim at the vacuous airtime filled by reality tv nonsense or actually talking up a programme if it is very, very good.

The format of the programme is quite cheap and lo-fi with Brooker generally sat on a soft talking to one camera and then voicing over tv highlights/lowlights with his own profane views.

I really enjoy the programme, some of it is average, sometimes it can miss the mark, but when Charlie Brooker hits the mark it is incredibly funny and accurate and can really make me laugh out loud.

This programme isn't for everyone and if your offended easily please avoid.

Summary: Very funny alternative to Tv Burp
