    Yup

    Didn't know about Miss Huq, surprised but not that impressed... Now, if it had been Sheena Easten!!

    Age shown!!

    However Mr Brooker is worth watching, agreed.

    Haven't watched much of him but is anyone not a fan?

    At times, I can't help but get a bit bored when listening to him. It's a bit like listening to Channel 4 doing their Top 100 of Rubbish Celebs of 2007 or Top 100 Embarassing Plastic Surgery of the Noughties

    The Day today , Nathan Barley , dead set.

    All excellent in their own way. Nathan Barley was the real stand out comedy genius for me

    his Satirical documentaries are pant wet-tingly funny

    Yep he was IIRC. I'm a huge Brooker fan, I agree with almost everything on How TV ruined your life and I used to love newswipe / gameswipe.

    Yeah thats actually where I've seen Brooker mostly, some of his 5 minute pieces have been good, but I find it hard watching him for longer for some reason.

    That' 10 O'clock live is quite a funny show, even though its trying to a bit too hard to be political one minute with the typical 'Lets blame Brown and the Bankers for everything wrong in the UK' attitude followed by sneering and pisstaking.

    That was just a recipe for sarcasm overload.

    I'm actually finding 10OCL a bit patchy, but How TV Ruined Your Life (and don't say it didn't: it did) is just genius.

    I've never seen Charlie Brooker before as I don't really watch telly but I linked through to his stuff and found this which appealed to me.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YC-fNJKKXkU

    Fave quote has to be "F.O. come back then F.O again !"

    Does anyone know whether the show with Richard Madeley is a real show or a spoof ?
