New Charlie Brooker TV review show
Tuesday, January 27, 2009 by Graham Kibble-White
Charlie Brooker will be recording a new TV review show on Friday, 30 January.
Entitled You Have Been Watching, and set to air on C4, it’ll feature the Screenwipe host plus guests casting their eyes over the week’s TV from both the UK and around the world.
A transmission date is yet to be confirmed.
So, was anyone at last night’s recording? OTT’s man on the scene, alas, couldn’t get in. They’d “run out of chairs”.
I got in, apparantly had a priority ticket (don’t know how that happened), which entitled me to sit on the front row squashed in like a battery chicken. When they told you they had run out of space they meant it.
It was very, very funny though, and I hope it gets a series as this was a non-broadcast pilot, as it will be a ‘topical’ show.
The panelists were David Mitchell, Rufus Hound, Terry Christian and um, some singer……… Jamelia?
Here’s a thing. I fully expected in the last series of Screenwipe for Brooker to take time and turn his guns on people like Rufus Hound. Those tv celebs who are seemingly turning up on everything and not really adding anything to the feature that they are on the show for
..and yet, here he is helping out on the pilot of Brookers show.
Hound must have a very good agent – or just be a really cheap booking.
