Advantages: Very funny

Disadvantages: Only shown on bbc 4

Charlie Brooker has to be one of my all time favourite people. His sense of humour is brilliant, and so is this show, Charlie Brookers Screenwipe. Screenwipe was first broadcast in 1996 and has had 5 series so far, not including his "spin off" Newswipe. Each programme is half an hour long and is broadcast on BBC Four, which in my opinion is a poor channel for this brillant show to be on, it should at least have a spot on BBC 3 but would also work well on BBC 2. Screenwipe is a program all about television ranging from reviews of programs, the cost of tv, different genres of programs, what goes into making tv, cost and laws regarding adverts etc. It is presented in a humourous, sarcastic and sometimes dark style, mostly from Charlie in his living room watching the tv with a sky remote in his hand. The show also has contributions from other people, such as animations, poetry from Tim Key etc. Overall, this is a brillant program and very funny which is robbed of a better audience by haveing to be broadcast on BBC Four, I say everyone should watch and enjoy this show and give Charlie Brooker a slot on BBC 2!

Summary: You will love this show
