Have Your Say

The best thing on TV. It's funny and entertaining but at the same time very informative. I got an invite via facebook to apply to be on it but I foolishly ignored it. That could have been me. On a hill. Peeing. In front of Konnie Huq. My only gripe with the series was the writers episode. Interesting and informative it may have been but it wasn't very diverse. No female writers. No ethnic writers. Their input would have made for a more rounded programme I feel.

On the surface, this was a wry, caustic review programme, apparently easy to hate. Underneath, however, lurks a brilliantly funny, and at times sensitive piece of television capturing something I can only describe as weirdly British cynicism.

This is the first, and possibly the last time that I will leave a comment about a TV show. I have never felt the need before, but as this series of Screenwipe draws to a close, I am moved to say thank you to Charlie and to all involved. A simply marvellous show that lights up the schedule.

Charlie's obituary of Oliver Postgate perfectly captured the quintessentially British nature of the man. Rarely have I heard such a moving and intellectually spot-on narrative. Brilliant. Thank you.

The Oliver Postgate tribute was an excellent obituary piece - more poignant than any that you would read. Screenwipe is one of the few programmes I go out of my way to watch.

As it's the best thing on any channel, I'm a regular watcher of Screenwipe whenever I can find it in the schedules. I never usually bother to write anything on any website but on this occasion I felt the need to seek out this page and comment. Thank you so much for the programme and especially the perfect tribute to Oliver Postgate. I was touched to the point of tears by its poignancy, beauty and the choice of backing music. Thank you so much to everyone involved.

I adore this programme. So sharp, so witty, and so true. Brilliantly fresh despite being a television programme about television, as it swiftly avoids the standard postmodern clichés you would expect from the format. Genius. Repeats of the first three series would be much appreciated.

Fantastic. Probably the one show over Christmas to completely crease me up. We should have more things like this to cheer things up after the other grown-ups my age are safely tucked up in bed.

A synchronised curtsy throughout the land to the mighty Charlie Brooker from all who were privileged to have watched the 2008 Screenwipe Review. It was quite simply one of the greatest slices of TV I've ever seen. Outrageous, hilarious and educational. Truly the canine's testicles!

Just felt the need to lend my support to the extended episode featuring writers. As the show is about television, it makes perfect sense to focus on the people behind the scenes that put together what we see on our screens. The segments in previous series dealing with budgeting, scheduling, PAs, etc were equally informative and entertaining. More of the same please, even if they have to be stand-alone episodes. Perhaps a focus on producers next time around?

Charlie Brooker is one of the best people in media, and his truly brilliant show reached a peak with the last show. Charlie is always so superb at capturing what is wrong with television, because, like the majority of viewers, he is filled with disappointment by people not using it properly. Therefore, his heartfelt tribute to Oliver Postgate was filled with such affection and poignancy, that I became six, briefly, all over again. I concur, he is one of the main reasons why the BBC is still worth the licence fee.

I'm glad to see that this programme has stayed consistently entertaining and informative through this series as well. Extra marks for the music used in the latest episode, though penalised instantly for use of the phrase 'epic fail'.

I just wanted to add to the praise heaped upon Charlie Brooker's Oliver Postgate tribute. To see this normally acerbic (albeit always entertaining) critic speak from the heart, and in doing so managing to articulate what I and so many others of my generation feel about the sad loss of the one true genius of children's TV, was the most moving and tear-jerking five minutes I've seen on TV in ages. And the tribute was given an added poignancy when one compared the snippets from Postgate's little masterpieces with the horrors inflicted on today's kids (as seen earlier in that edition of Screenwipe). It makes you realise how much we're selling children short on the box these days.

What an ending to a brilliantly unique series. Every episode is better than the last, Brooker is hilarious. Well done to all involved. I want to see more.

I only started watching Screenwipe at the beginning of series four, and every episode I watch is tinged with the disappointment of knowing that I have missed three other series of this truly excellent show. Everybody associated with Screenwipe should feel very proud of the Oliver Postgate eulogy. It was a poignant and insightful dedication to a true genius of the small screen.

Screenwipe is, by quite some margin, the best thing on television. Courageous, hilarious and shockingly accurate week in, week out. This week's tribute to Oliver Postgate's work was so moving, so clearly heartfelt. Perhaps precisely because this wonderful, evocative tribute was being delivered by Charlie Brooker - our straight-talking, no-nonsense antihero - we felt the sentiment all the more. This show is absolutely what the license fee is all about. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I was rather touched by Charlie Brooker's mention of the children's television hero, Oliver Postgate. It was a perfect and moving portrayal of his work - these wonderful words and images don't get the recognition that they deserve.

Screenwipe has become compulsory viewing among me and my friends. Not only does it cut straight through the bull*** of corporate 21st century television, Charlie expresses much of what we all think about it all. That we are somehow living in a different world to the programme makers. What they want us to see and what we actually want are two very different quantities. The tribute to Oliver Postgate was indicitive of the passion and genuine concern Charlie has over the exceptionally powerful yet currently abused medium of television. Oliver Postgate's work is an indelible part of my childhood, and I still, on occasion, dip back into that pool of joy to experience his gentle storytelling beauty. Mr Brooker, you truly brought me to tears with your insightful, honest interpretation of Oliver's work. Thank you so much.

I was both surprised and greatly moved by Charlie Brooker's fitting tribute to Oliver Postgate in the last Screenwipe. I don't know who exactly to thank, but I would just like to say thanks for a perfect ending. Lumps in the throat ahoy.

Screenwipe is brilliant - by far best thing on the telly. Always interesting, hilarious in places and with the right amount of truth to make you sit up and go 'yeah'. The tribute to Oliver Postgate at the end of this week's episode was fittingly moving and so true of what makes for great viewing for all ages. One of the best things about Screenwipe is that you never know what you are going to get. Whether a serious(ish) episode dedicated to the art of writing or a foul mouthed rant from Charlie Brooker, it is the highlight of the TV week.

Yet another entertaining and insightful episode of Screenwipe. It ended every bit as pitch perfect as the work of the late Mr Postgate. A beautiful tribute to his magical creations. Special mention must also go to the moving composition near the episode's close. Absolutely enthralling.

Congratulations on producing such an original and entertaining show as Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe. It's intelligent, well-observed and very funny. However, I do feel it's not getting the audience it deserves by being on BBC Four. Many people who would appreciate this great show are probably not aware it exists. Surely it's begging to be repeated (or moved) to BBC Two?

What a fitting and moving tribute to the late Oliver Postgate broadcast by Charlie Brooker in Tuesday's Screenwipe. You summed up perfectly how a generation grew up with his programmes and loved his creations. Well done.

Brilliantly entertaining as always. However, I feel that the edition this week looking at children's television missed out on an important aspect: children's drama. My strongest memories of children's television are Aquila, The Tomorrow People, ReBoot, and Power Rangers (don't judge me), among others. And as CBBC have produced many of the better children's dramas of the past 20 years, and continue to produce high quality shows such as The Sarah Jane Adventures, I feel they deserve a mention for their own influence on children (and often adults). Keep Screenwipe going forever, it deserves to, as it is the finest programme a satellite BBC station has ever produced.

Best thing on TV. Intelligent, whilst hilarious, with some of the most creative, albeit bleeped (boo!), swearing on the box. More please. Much, much more.

Congratulations to the BBC for having the courage to continue to commission shows like Screenwipe. If anybody ever questions why we pay a TV licence fee, here is your answer. A commercial channel would never pay for a show which holds a mirror up to TV itself and reveals to us, the viewer, what preposterous rubbish it really is (something many of us have long suspected). Charlie Brooker feels to me like our man on the inside, a Hunter S Thompson-esque hired geek, telling it like it is and in doing so allowing us to breathe a huge sigh of relief. Finally someone knows how we feel.

Always absolutely bl**dy brilliant. Not overly keen on the change of format for the writers special - that should perhaps have been a separate stand-alone programme - feels like we've missed out on another valuable regular episode in the series, but generally it's the best show on TV.

I've just watched the mission documentary episode and I was in hysterics. Great to see Charlie Brooker getting stuck in these pointless documentaries that ultimately achieve nothing, and his own attempt at one was hilarious. This series has been great so far, keep 'em coming.

The bleeping of Charlie Brooker's necessary swearing on Screenwipe is quite astoundingly pointless and critically offensive. The joy of hearing the bulldozing vitriol in Mr Brooker's voice is replaced by the banal sound of a synthesised note. The spirit of Mrs Whitehouse and her ilk will finally be claiming victory after all these years. There'll be some orderly smirking in heaven tonight.

Each series has been absolutely spot on, with insights into how TV works and proving that satire and smart TV is not dead - at least not just yet. The documentary one (series four, episode four) was hilarious - and fair play to Konnie Huq for being up for it. Made me laugh from start to finish. I really enjoyed the writers episode - a departure for sure, but it made for interesting and illuminating viewing for fans of the shows and aspiring writers alike.

Excellent content, interesting discussion, learnt a great deal, but no women writers and, technically, some odd camera work/editing - was CB meant to be out of focus on some of the cutaway questions, or was it me? Love the series and don't mind if you choose to depart from the standard format. It's on telly, after all.

Loved the show and the format. Not his typical style, which I enjoy, but regardless I was engrossed. I think the main attraction of the show is that it does not baffle you, it's straight and truthful. Keep it lit Charlie.

Boy, was that really Screenwipe? I like the usual format, not this writers boreathon. I never even finished watching it. Get back to what we know and love and leave writers' workshops to college courses where they belong.

Thank you for this episode - fantastic interviews that asked exactly the right questions to get a genuine insight into the writing process. However, it was pretty disheartening to see that not a single female writer was deemed successful or interesting enough to be worth interviewing.

I always watch Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe for a dose of well-judged vitriol, and this series has certainly hit the mark. I was surprised and delighted by the departure from the usual show content this week with the series of interviews with TV's best writers, which was insightful and fascinating. It was interesting to see that behind Brooker's liberally applied contempt is perhaps a pure and virtuous love of great TV. Or maybe not.

Like many other people's feedback about the writers interview episode - why? Charlie, it's your acerbic wit and lid-lifting on the dustbin of television that makes us tune in. Well done for taking the gamble for doing something different (how ironic it would be if Screenwipe became formulaic TV like everything else) so we'll let you off this time 'cos we like you.

The screenwriting episode was brilliant - required viewing for all writers. But no women interviewed? You can do better! Make a series on screenwriting, please, and bring it out on DVD. I want to play this to all my students.

The show is normally full of dry and witty humour and is staple viewing for me when it's on, but the last show (series four, episode three) just wasn't my cup of tea. I ended up changing the channel, which is a first when Screenwipe is aired.

What a waste of time episode three was. We love CB for his cutting wit and the way he effortlessly but brutally dismantles entire sections of pop culture in just a few sentences. Why, oh why, were we subjected to a piece of guff, void of any of this? Sure, its not easy being a screenwriter and the episode was mildly entertaining but cr*p compared to his usual stuff. Sort it out CB!

Brilliant show as usual, and a fantastic guide for those of us who want to try and make a go of writing. But why were no women writers interviewed? Helen Raynor, Ruth Jones and many, many others would have jumped at the chance, I'm sure. Fortunately, the show didn't degenerate into a testosterone-fest as male writers tend to be nice boys who are sweet and polite, but the point still stands.

Excellent as ever - I'm glad to see someone dissect television without caring about what anyone else thinks about him. Please give everyone the chance to see this - show it on BBC Two as well (I see that it's BBC Four only).

It's honest and down to earth and at the same time it makes you hurt with laughter. Every opinion he puts across is brilliantly persuasive and witty. Probably the best show on at the moment - some of the things Brooker says should be taught in schools.

I absolutely love this show. He ain't afraid to stick the boot in.

Please, BBC, please, never stop making Screenwipe. It is, in all honesty, the very best thing you currently produce. Also, bring out a big frilly boxset of each and every episode ever.

Great series so far - that was until tonight's self-appreciative hug-fest.

So glad this is back. Like others, I wonder why this programme doesn't demand a slot on BBC Two, just before Newsnight perhaps? Exactly the kind of brilliant TV that usually acquires a devotional following. Why not create a completely new channel for it? Or how about Friday Night With Charlie Brooker? He doesn't insult the elderly any more than any other group, and can actually speak proper and that. Why not? How about a change from BBC to CBC - the Charlie Brooker Corporation? Do it. Do it all now. Cheers.

You tell 'em, Mr B! Keep up the good work.

Far and away the funniest thing on TV currently. Insightful, articulate, thought-provoking and witty.

A fantastically entertaining and informative show.

I loved this programme, spot on as ever.

Funny, funny, funny. Hits the nail on the head each and every time.

I'd do away with media studies altogether. Screenwipe may not cover the entire curriculum - but it tells you everything you need to know.

Thank goodness it's back: come on, how can you bury this programme on BBC Four? Brooker is excruciatingly funny, intelligent, erudite and unflinchingly rude when required. The commentary on Britannia High made me laugh so much I was almost ill. I don't remember that from any other other show - ever. Well done Mr Brooker, although it might be an idea to lose the poetry eh?

I love the fact that Charlie Brooker presents the show in a puerile, childish, foul-mouthed manner but manages to be so insightful about TV today. Let's face it, this should be shown to all who do media studies (not the most point-ful degree) at any level to show how not to take TV at face value from a man who has been studying TV for years. I love his work for The Guardian too... I think Charlie Brookerism should be an officially recognised religion.

Screenwipe is the best thing on telly, long may it continue.

Great start to the new series. As funny, witty and clever as usual with its satirical analysis of modern television. Looking forward to enjoying the rest of the series.

Honest, sweary and hilarious. This is how TV should be. Long live Charlie Brooker.

Great to see Screenwipe back on BBC Four. However, I do not recall there being so much jokey incidental music in previous series. This now seems to have been imposed over all sections where Charlie is talking, and is infuriating. Charlie may have done this just to annoy us, or it may be at the BBC's insistence (more likely). Whatever the reason, please stop it. Thank you.

Thank you for bringing back this little gem of a programme, the first episode was brilliant particularly Charlie's foray into singing. Any chance of more than six episodes per series?

I would like to complain about this week's Screenwipe. This programme is too short and does not contain enough swearing and/or obscenity. Please solve these problems.

First episode was just fantastic. Charlie has lost none of his wit or honest observation.

Irritating delivery and limited self-opinion, ranking with some of the dire offerings he 'satirizes'.

Thank you for verbally giving it to the gutter press and so comically. Loved the bit about 'national treasures'. This is a really special show for those of us with a sense of humour.

Scrap the Six O'Clock News and replace it with Charlie. Or perhaps more reasonably get it shifted to BBC Two or somewhere a little more high profile, and make more than six eps at a time. Everyone needs to see this. Best programme out there. Can't wait for the rest of the new series. Keep it coming Charlie.

Great to see this back on our screens, I like to think of it as a more cutting-edge and in-depth version of Harry Hills' TV Burp. Maybe I'm a bit slow on the uptake but I wish he'd slow down a bit when talking so I can digest the humour for a couple of seconds and appreciate it more.

Please recommission this programme. It's one of the best things on BBC Four. The six episode runs are a bit short too.

Well done that man that chose to screen the Chuck Berry concert.

This show is easily the best show on BBC Four and one of the best TV review shows I've ever seen. I would love to see the early series repeated on BBC Four and for them to get repeated on BBC Two so more of my friends could see it!

Surely this viewing should be a compulsory part of every history or media studies course? This is top draw observational 'tear back the TV laminate and fire up the laughing gear' comedy, with hints of the brilliant Mr Morris (The Day Today, etc). Yes it would take Zeppotron a lot of work for clearance, but this material truly stands head and shoulders above most sitcoms and other comedy the BBC (et al) have recently churned out. Brooker deserves to become more than cult viewing. But why so few programmes per series? I am annoyed that I have only just caught series three on iPlayer and have missed all his previous shows. So BBC, please consider repeating all the series again (instead of the same old tired Only Fools etc)?

Screenwipe is by far the best TV programme of the last decade, with just two major flaws:
1) There are only a few episodes a series, tucked away in the middle of the night on BBC Four
2) Some daft woman turns up occasionally to talk about soaps, so while the rest of the programme is mostly scathing criticism and brutally honest insight, soap operas get off lightly, despite being among the most pathetic programmes on telly.

This man is very impressive, this show is very watchable. He pokes fun of just about every show on television as well as himself and does so with such hilarity it makes this show an essential watch. I can see why it's on late, as Brooker shows no mercy to the sort of crap you often see on the channels, so to have him on early may upset the moronic TV watchers who enjoy the prime-time dribble.

I know he said it'd go to the s**t if he was allowed to, but I still reckon Dr Brooker should take control of the country. Ra ra ra and all that! This show is absolutely hilarious, yet absolutely true at the same time. I know there are no plans to release the series at the moment, but I hope for the sake of everyone who has never had the chance to see it before that it bloody well gets released in some form soon!

Let's face it, these paint by numbers, mind-numbingly dull programmes are probably with us to stay for the foreseeable future. But maybe if it gives Charlie something to rip into for half an hour of the best television there is, it's worth it after all. Thanks Mr Brooker for being brilliant and making Harry Hill look like the stupid c**k he really is!

This is an amazing show and I wish I was part of such a fun looking production. It's a really fun insight to the world of media and he says a lot of what we are thinking.

A must-watch: it's got to be the funniest thing on TV.

Scathing and bitingly funny - but why on so late? I only became aware of the brilliant show via a TV critic column, or I'd have missed it. This should be peak time!

Screenwipe, with its juxtaposition of deliciously puerile hyperbole and genuine intellectual consideration of events, has kept me sane through the perpetual torrent of s**t that enters our lives (a bit like QI or a BBC Afternoon Play). It's great to know that someone else cares!

One of the most exciting and funny programmes I have seen in years. Keep on telling it like it is Charlie and cutting through the c**p. Charlie Brooker for Prime Minister! Nay, World President!

Is Charlie Brooker the next Jeremy Clarkson? I don't watch much TV but this is clearly the best thing on the box by a country mile. Why is it stuck on BBC Four? Anything that makes you laugh and think at the same time deserves a wide audience, not a niche. And the attention to detail in producing the programmes is just astounding. TV needs TV people to keep the industry in check - keep going Charlie!

Thank you BBC for this brilliant show, I can't compliment it enough. Please allow me to buy this on DVD and all the other people on this comments board, who clearly are passionate enough to come on here. And let us re-coup the "£47,667" per episode it cost to make.

This programme just gets better and better. Great work Charlie!

Only saw the last in the series by accident - never heard of it before. Charlie deconstructing The Apprentice: it was the funniest thing I have seen for decades. I laughed so hard, the next day my head still felt like it was going to burst.

I've worked in TV for the last 10 years. It's great to find someone who finds the humour in the relentless task of dealing with the witless morons who make it.

This is the best programme on TV, therefore why is it not being screened on BBC Two rather than BBC Four? I still can't get digital despite my best attempts and will therefore miss out on one of the few things I actually want to watch this Christmas.

Why can't other National Broadcasters commission such quality broadcasting? Please release the series on DVD.

I adore Screenwipe, one of the sharpest programmes available. Please do not stoop to the level of that tedious idiot reviewing the soaps again (and far too long, incidentally). This was tabloid fodder. Screenwipe is usually the antidote to this uncritical adoration of trash. Apart from that, another bull's eye. More please, King Charlie. ps Fred West wouldn't let his children watch EastEnders. Even he thought it was pointlessly miserable.

Typical BBC putting this on at either the back of midnight on BBC Two or on one of its digital channels. As the BBC only has about three or four watchable programmes these days surely they should be removing some of the dumbed down TV for morons that Charlie loves having a pop at and make a space on prime-time BBC One or BBC Two for Screenwipe. The overpaid schedulers and producers at the BBC should watch and learn from Screenwipe because currently the vast majority of BBC TV is utter dross. Keep up the good work Mr Brooker!

I am glad I am not the only person who can get so angry while watching telly. I just tend to shout words such as f***ing and b*****ks at the screen so thank goodness Charlie is one of those clever types who can articulate this slightly better than I. Good show.

Charlie Brooker makes me physically sick. No, really. I trawled through his columns and I laughed so hard and so often that my stomach actually hurt for the next 24 hours. Genius is a word over-used, but not in his case.

This man is a gem. As someone who used to work in news media I thought his programme on the subject was superbly observed. A tiny sliver of quality among the vast sea of rubbish that's fed on to our TVs.

First found Screenwipe repeated on BBC Two and it is like nothing else on TV. It's a brilliant mix of comedy and education. Charlie Brooker's swearing and violence towards the production team is genius and always makes me laugh. I don't like the way the young people are represented on television. As a young person myself, it is admirable how Charlie addressed the stereotype of young people held by the media fat cats when he asked the young people about TV. Well done BBC. Hope there's more in the pipeline.

Found the programme by accident a while ago. Thank God for it! Really funny and so true about the crap and dross we have to endure on the TV. Long may you continue, Charlie boy.

As a 17 year old I have experienced the brunt of this Labour government and its policies on education. In the country now we are ruled by a very PC, idealistic society, which many find nauseating and distasteful. The ability of Charlie Brooker to show how this affects television is not only extremely humorous but also highly intelligent. Charlie Brooker often makes ingeniously hilarious comments about British television, whether it be putting The Godfather theme to Dragons' Den or throwing insults at My Super Sweet Sixteen. Keep up the good work and well done to the BBC for allowing his work to continue on your channel.

Tonight's episode (the elimination show) was one of the best commentaries on contemporary television I have ever seen. While sometimes you may be criticised for ill-tempered moaning, tonight's episode redeemed you all. Congratulations to Charlie and the entire production team for your insightful expose of this most insidious form of television. This programme should be required viewing for all media studies courses the world over. Please make it permanently available.

Re: the Tudor programme. Aristocrats spoke with thick regional accents until the second half of the 18th century. If your show is based on making smart-arse comments about crap TV, you should at least be right.

I watched the episode last night and agreed with a lot of what he said. I especially enjoyed Matt Berry's comments on theme tunes and the young people he got on the programme. One of the girls' comments on Blackadder was spot on, as a fellow young person I salute you!

Thanks for such a refreshing and hilarious show! The only criticism is I WANT MORE. Keep up the great work.

I love this programme, more Screenwipe please. I only watch BBC Four for Screenwipe. Charlie is fab and funny and always says what everyone is thinking. I am voting Charlie Brooker for head of the BBC, and then we might actually get something worth paying the TV licence for. Keep up the good work.

After watching the end of one episode of this (the #1 c**k in advertising rant made me fall off the sofa in hysterics) I promptly went and found as much of it as I could on YouTube, and it's all excellent from start to finish. Is there a DVD coming out?

Charlie Brooker's viewpoint on all things media is such a breath of fresh air in today's trash filled 'untertainment' world. This is something I would actually spend money on... naturally I can't because it's not released on DVD!

Thank you for an intelligent, honest and hilarious series, we want more please.

Please ensure that in future my licence fee goes towards funding more Screenwipe. Nothing else. Just more Screenwipe.

Brooker is menacingly funny (and ain't it nice that he's now friends with Aisleyne from Big Brother after she did a cameo on Screenwipe - aaah). However, I would get rid of the Fat Pie cartoons - they're absolute guff. Rancid.

Is it me or does Charlie Brooker love Adam Curtis? And rightly so.

Can't help but love the bluntness in the show; anybody who tells it how it is earns my respect. I find it hard to watch any other channels than the Beeb's as I can't stand adverts. I don't need the TV telling me what I can buy - a day out shopping does that for me. Keep up the good work Charlie and BBC Four crew.

All I can say is, thank God for Charlie Brooker. I only discovered Screenwipe after idly surfing channels some time ago, to find a repeat episode on BBC Four. Never have I laughed so much, and so hard. Screenwipe is truly piss-your-kidneys-out funny, and Brooker is spot-on with his caustic digressions on the current state of TV Land. I for one cannot wait long enough for the next series, which will probably be the only reason to renew the licence fee next year. Screenwipe has all the vital ingredients of a comedy show - wit, intelligence, and a presenter who goes for the jugular with fearless abandon. Roll on the next series.

Watched Screenwipe for the first time last night and belly laughed my way through the whole show. This should be compulsory viewing. Brilliant stuff and Adam Curtis's special report effortlessly hysterical. More! More! More! And now, back to the studio...

Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe news episode was pure brilliance, it's been a while since a critical sceptic was able to say and question everything in such a lovely sharp, very funny, sarcastic and pure genius edited way. Can't get enough of it, if I could I would watch that episode over and over again. I want more please.

Thank you Charlie. The comic relief was truly entertaining and it reiterated what I thought. It might be a bad idea, but you should become Chief News Editor. This 24-hour rolling news is, well, poor! Sort it out. Whoa, look at those graphics! Keep up the good work, please.

Dear Mr Brooker, I #@$*ing love your show, but in the recent news-related one I was not keen that the Propaganda Model that Chomsky puts forward was not even mentioned (but then I suppose the model predicts that it is unbroadcastable!) nor indeed the work of your fellow guardian writer, John Pilger. I think you are the most interesting commentator on western media but you'll know that certain sponsors of Australian soaps have massive control over the storylines demanding things like 'no lesbians and no strong women please'(it puts off girly girls that like soaps) but I wanted to demonstrate that if there is no long term monetary incentive to reporting accurately (either by ad-funded or government-funded news) on the corners that businesses and nations cut, then I'm surprised you don't mention it (perhaps it's because Pilger appears on ITV!). PS Isn't the title 'Have Your Say' a misnomer when 'your say' is only the comments that get approved?

I've been saying the name "Charlie Brooker" repeatedly and unashamedly to people I know, in the hope that Charlie's empire may grow into the vastly gigantic juggernaut we, his disciples, may help build for him. And also, that I can share the bellyache with someone who truly understands what is so funny and so sad about our media. If this programme wasn't on, I'd at last be able to throw out the telly, and never pay the TV licence again. Never cancel this show!

Absolutely magic. Charlie Brooker makes me smile.

I love this show; it is a perfect example of what the BBC should be spending money on. There are not enough episodes in each series and it could do with being released on DVD. Despite the fact that Charlie Brooker can seem incredibly cynical, he is a very appealing character who openly expresses opinions in a humorous and often charmingly sarcastic manner. Please keep it coming.

Thank God for Screenwipe (and for the BBC, for although a victim of his expose, it has the balls to let him bite the hand that feeds him). I have to say that this show is achingly funny and very accurate in so many areas. Well, I would say that, cos I've spent the last 10 years shouting the same things at my TV, especially during the ad break.

Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe is simply the best thing on the BBC since... ever. I, like others, laugh uncontrollably at Charlie's wit and his sharp, perfectly timed and eloquent comments. Couple this with intelligent comment and having the rare gift for saying 'what people really think' and this makes him a true great. He's pure gold, easily the funniest, most honest programme on TV today. CBSW is on a par with classics such as Brass Eye (no coincidence as he co-wrote it), The Fast Show, Only Fools... We want more Charlie Brooker.

I will probably be repeating a lot of the comments below. But I have never laughed so much at your succinct way of identifying everything wrong with television. My highlight so far is: the end credits of the news, when you are shuffling the papers in the background. I have NEVER laughed so much... Brilliant show, look forward to watching more.

Another series please. Screenwipe is about the only thing worth watching on TV these days and I am renewing my licence simply to see more of the same genius. Charlie Brooker is a brilliant talent.

It's been a long time since I've seen a comedy so funny that I have nearly fallen off the sofa in laughter, even my cat was glued to the TV. Brooker's appeal is the fact that his outlook on how TV has changed is really that of most people who miss quality TV; he's only saying what everybody is thinking and his cutting remarks are right on the money. The fact the BBC is willing to let him lambaste the organisation in such an aggressive and cynical manner at least shows the "corporation" is not afraid to laugh at itself. He must return with another series! Prime time BBC Two material if ever I saw it.

Genius. I was totally mesmerised by your ability to identify the very things which I myself find totally annoying and pointless within the format of television. The topical banter which you affiliate to such ridiculous areas of TV speaks volumes for the huge number of cynical viewers who sift through waves and waves of pretentious earwax only to contract media conjunctivitis from tele-whores such as Gillian McKeith!

I suspect Charlie Brooker might just be the messiah. That, or a very naughty boy. Some adjectives: cynical, intellectual, base, caustic, delightfully British and, of course, sarcastic. Brooker is a sage for our times. Let the word go out.

Please make a DVD of Screenwipe. Were one to exist, I would buy two dozen copies and force all my friends and family to watch it. That'd be birthdays and Christmases sorted for the next year or so. PS Charlie, I love you! Have done since the PC Zone days, as someone else mentioned.

I watched Charlie's programme last night and was amazed to see Simon Cowell had told fibs! I went with a friend to an X Factor audition in Manchester earlier this year. There was no sign of any celebrity judges, just rooms with production teams listening to hopeful singers. The cameras were recording the huge crowds and even filmed a few lucky ones who got through to the next round with Simon and co. The production team choose a number to then audition with the judges. They must have a quota for talent and talentless people to put through. The latter being for public entertainment. So when Simon said "What you see is what happens" it isn't quite true!

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, this is the best thing on BBC Four right now. I might even go as far to say that this is the best comedy series the BBC has shown for years. Partly due to the wit and intelligence of Brooker himself, but also due to the fact that it strips away so much of the TV crap we take for granted. I love the way you get a glimpse into the inner workings of the TV industry and how they make the programmes they do. I wish more people would watch this, so that hopefully we will be able to collectively demand more from the television companies. The BBC in my opinion competes far too much these days with the low-brow end of the TV market. Too often you see ITV-like programmes being churned out. The BBC should produce what people need, not always what they apparently want, that is essentially the role of a public service broadcaster. Argh, it makes me so mad that our TV is going so far down hill and it is left to Channel 4 to always come up with the goods, particularly where comedy is concerned.

Will someone force the marketing idiots at the BBC to watch the segments on programme credits on an endless loop until they crack and swear to never interrupt or squeeze another set of credits ever again?

Great programme. Would be improved by not bleeping out swearing. Surely unnecessary and is very distracting.

Why, oh why, oh why is this show no longer on? This is the best programme on BBC Four - it should be treated as the flagship show. Can't believe it's been replaced by that embarrassingly awful Rob Newman 30-second sketch stretched over 6 weeks!!!! Give Charlie a pay rise and get him back on ASAP. Cheers.

I generally have to go along with the adulatory remarks; it was certainly the only programme that was de rigueur with me (as is his Saturday Guardian 'rant'). I particularly admire the combination of sharp, yet accurate, disparagement and a genuine sense of what I am tempted to call responsibility - only disparaging what deserves it. My only 'major' criticism would be that the defensive post-modern self-irony is a little too knee-jerk...

Loving the show. Very witty but needs to be on a lot longer. Have to agree with your thoughts on the overuse of that Clubbed to Death track. It's a shame the artist doesn't have more control over where it is used.

Thank you for scheduling a repeat of the latest series of Screenwipe for November 07. Any chance you could repeat the earlier three series too? I only discovered it by chance a few weeks ago and am desperate to see more. It's total genius. Well done to all involved!

Please sir, can we have some more? I'm really puzzled as to why the series runs for Screenwipe are so short. This is a great example of quality programming it's a shame that I've been left feeling short-changed by such a short run.

By far the best show currently being produced by the BBC by a long, long way. I just wish there were more episodes per series.

This series is superb. Witty, imaginative and most of all funny. The BBC should be congratulated for making such a programme!

I agree it's funny but it's not saying anything a savvy TV viewer couldn't work out for themselves.

Why are the series of Screenwipe so short? I can't imagine the production costs can be that great, as most of it seems to be filmed in a front room about 2 foot wide. We get bombarded for half a century with drivel like Robin Hood or the bl***y One Show, but the quality stuff doesn't last long. So when are we getting another series? (If you can call 4-5 programmes that.) I need more Brooker, in fact can the BBC create a new digital station entirely for him? We could have Brooker news and sport, Brooker Quiz Call, Brooker Antiques Roadshow.

Entertaining, mercilessly irreverent, over too soon. It needs repeating on BBC Two NOW. The only thing that my 15-year-old son and my 55-year-old self both fall about laughing to. Again, please!

What a fantastic, outrageously hilarious programme. With my thorough hate for almost anything that rolls onto television these days, Screenwipe is the only thing I have bothered to watch with any regularity - Brooker himself makes a fantastic reviewer, sincere in his comments yet delivering a great smattering of humour and cynicism with it, exposing and relentlessly hammering all the lies, crummy scheduling, and tired old tosh that TV seems so eager to feed us. I'm looking forward immensely to the next series (and hopefully re-runs of the previous series, which I unfortunately missed out on).

A brilliant comment on topics - edited and presented to bring a smile to one's face!

I'm 16 years old studying media at A Level and I found Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe truly inspiring. I'm glad there are programmes like this to help inform people about the media around them. At home I am teased for criticising TV too much but this has proved my point. It's has the right balance between seriousness and comedy which makes it highly entertaining!

Thank you, BBC, for spending my licence fee wisely on the last series of Screenwipe. Children have Harry Hill's You've Been Framed and adults have Brooker and Screenwipe. This show is almost as cynical about TV as I am, and is very probably the finest example of intelligent TV criticism on the planet. I look forward to the next series. Oh yes, there'd better be one. It's about the only reason to stick with the Beeb.

This show is immense: both satirical and intelligent. Charlie Brooker seems to view television and the world it created with such clarity. Laugh-out-loud funny one minute, soberingly evident the next. I find myself agreeing unanimously and feel thankful that someone out there can see through the rubbish and can moan more than me). More, more, more. Charlie Brooker for Prime Minister... well, OK then, chief executive/controller of the BBC.

I finally got to tune in to an episode of this series - really glad I did! The idea of the staged reality show was brilliant. The contestants were genuinely surprised at how easily their actions and sound bites had been edited. I'll never watch any of this kind of TV in the same way again! Also, he has a superb way with a laugh-out-loud, pinpoint, accurate descriptive put down. Witness last night's brilliant quote describing the 'Human Dolmio puppet, David Guest' - genius!

It's refreshing to see a BBC programme that constantly shows up the BBC for what it is - bureaucratic, ratings obsessed and constantly pandering to the whims of viewers with limited intelligence and low attention spans. Charlie's hilarious piece on credit squeezing was fantastic. I had to watch it about four times!

God man, you complain more than I do. You're right on the ball, so keep it up. Before they started the programme the other night, that women who always talks over the end of programmes said; this programme contains strong language, then they go and bleep out the swearing, why? Thing is, when they bleep something out it breaks up the continuity of the sentence and f***s up a good bit of ranting. Here's an idea, if the BBC needs to save some money, drop BBC Three, I mean they showed Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps every night for five years. They must think we all have memory loss or they all smoke too much. Keep ranting.

Brilliant, brilliant show. Don't viewers get it that the bleeping is done for comic effect - it really gets you to focus on the profanity rather than it blending into the general text (much like South Park does). Keep it going - the only thing worth watching!

The lunatics have taken over the asylum, just don't tell BBC One, BBC Two, ITV, ITV2, Sky One, and so on.

What a brilliant programme. It makes me laugh out loud. If I don't have time for anything else, I watch this. It's reassuring to know that there are other people out there who also think most TV is cringe-making and has no values worth subscribing to. The programme on the news was worthy of a peak-time slot on a mainstream channel - if only! Keep up the good work.

Great show. Not only funny but insightful. I can no longer watch reality TV due to it. I worry that it's running out of ideas with recent shows about credits and 24-hour news.

Thanks Mr Brooker for a reason to get a TV licence. Is there any chance of a series longer than five or six episodes?

This Screenwipe thing is an outstanding watch. His takes on the mindless pap poured out at us. It's a breath of fresh air. I just hope he doesn't succumb to the pressure from above!

I find Charlie Brooker's show is very accurately observed, informative but above all just hilarious. His column is similarly engaging.

Being 18 years old and a student, I found the most recent edition of Screenwipe fascinating and hilarious. The only possibly negative comment I could make from an educated perspective is that holding up Skins as an example of "yoof" culture is not misrepresentative; it is WRONG! These shows only amuse the kind of bored middle-class kids you invited onto your show. Well done! The Yoof of today are real people. But no, we do not watch the OC, Skins and Smallville all day.

For me this is definitely the funniest new television series in (several) years. Charlie's past work such as in the Guardian and, er, PC Zone has been similarly hilarious. This programme needs to be on mainstream TV.

I love this show so much, and was crying with laughter at his takes on Heroes and Battlestar Galactica. I have to say, get rid of the Fat Pie segments though; they're not funny and they're not Charlie Brooker!

Finally, something worthwhile to download from the BBC iPlayer.

So, question, should Charlie Brooker be on one of the mainstream channels instead of BBC Four? Answer: no. Screenwipe is relying on Charlie's ability to say exactly what he wants, when he wants, allowing that twisted but brilliant mind of his to run free. I fear such freedom will not be granted on a terrestrial channel (not even on Channel 4). So, in my opinion Charlie should stay at BBC Four, but should be given a massively increased budget.

I'm so glad this fine television treat has returned to our screens. It's one of the funniest and insightful shows around. I have managed so far to record every programme and burn them to DVD (six discs so far and counting). BBC! - Please, please, please release these shows on DVD - you owe it to the fans of Mr Uber-Comedy God Brooker Esq.

I show Adam Curtis films to my 6th formers and they love them. I was really pleased to see a group of normal teenagers actually being asked what they were interested in!

This is an excellent show! There was a brilliant quote about High School Musical which I really liked, but I have forgotten exactly what it was. Can anyone remember it?

I stumbled onto this programme last year and was gutted that I missed most of it. Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe is intelligent and insightful on how television works.

The only show on TV I make sure not to miss. Brilliant!

Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe is genius. I haven't laughed so much at something on TV in a long time. Keep up the good work, Charlie.

The only thing worth watching on the TV. Once again, the likes of BBC Four provide better television than its mainstream counterparts.

I just watched the episode about TV news. It was the best thing on ALL television channels this week. It was funny and showed a degree of seriousness I haven't seen before in Charlie's work. It's not often I laugh out loud but I did at this. The cringe-making censorship of Fox News had to be seen to be believed. People who criticise John Humphrys for his supposed bias should be forced to brush their teeth with Dettol and use bleach as a mouthwash. Much, much more of the same please.

Screenwipe is the only show I make a concerted effort to watch on TV these days - not only can it be topically caustic but also laugh-out-loud hilarious! The news edition was spot on and highlighted all my own personal objections to the graphic-heavy, drum-beating mess TV news has become (why do we need the Kodo drummers to be thundering away while we're struggling to listen to the headlines?!). I only wish Charlie had picked up on the Bernard Matthew's bird-flu incident and recent foot-and-mouth outbreaks. It was priceless to have the news helicopters hovering over the quarantined, contaminated bird sheds and fields of diseased cattle. It's amazing how far bugs can be spread from the downdraft of a helicopter. Not only that, but the next outbreak creates more 'breaking news'! TV is dead. Long live Charlie Brooker!

Finally a show that says something about the moronic, disposable trash that television has degenerated into and the luvvy wa**ers who create it. I found myself in fits of laughter at the caustic reviews and agreeing wholeheartedly with this guy. Tell it exactly as it is Mr B. This show should run more often and preferably forever.

I've been a fan of Mr Brooker for a while now, and always tune into his show. I felt compelled to write with regard to the latest episode, about news coverage on TV. Brooker eschewed his usually coruscating humour for a well-thought out dissection of 'rolling news coverage' (particularly the report about the McCanns), which I found quite simply one of the best things I've seen on TV for bloody years. The special report by Adam Curtis was an inspired idea. This is what TV should be like. More please, Mr Brooker.

Yeah, great stuff, very funny - actually the best thing on TV.

Glad to see the new series is back with a vengeance to share my thoughts on the state on modern TV - both good and bad (but mostly bad). The programme on TV news was of particular merit as a piece of TV journalism in its own right, presented with acute observation and acerbic humour by Charlie Brooker. Give him his own show! ...Oh, you have... Then listen to what he's telling you!

A fantastic critic of the media, Adam Curtis's insert was terrifying in its truthful expose of the vacuousness of much news journalism, and it was refreshing to see that the BBC was not omitted from this critic. Anyone who watched The Daily Show last night will get this. I'm sure there are execs in the BBC clapping their hands and saying "Well, it's a testament to what an open and progressive broadcaster the BBC is that we can have someone like Brooker and Curtis making television like this".

Last night's programme (9 October 2007) was brilliant. Funny, incisive, clever and perceptive. I only hope someone in charge of TV news in this country was watching.

Everybody should be made to sit down and watch this show, to highlight the mess that telly seems to be in these days. However, I could really do without the Fanny Hill docu-advert which seems like it has followed every episode so far!

Tonight's programme (9 October 2007) on news was very perceptive. I have not watched TV news for over 20 years because it seemed to me that I could get it all much faster from reading a newspaper. Now with the internet, I can get breaking news much quicker. So what is the point of television news?

I love this show. Charlie is hilarious, incredibly witty and absolutely spot on. He also brought my attention to Trapped in the Closet. I've never laughed so hard.

Does anyone else find Charlie Brooker strangely attractive? It's true, women do go for acerbic wit and brilliance.

Without a doubt, the best show on TV at the moment. The credit shrinking piece reminded me of an enraged 'green-ink' e-mail I sent to Granada back in 2000 when they started doing the same thing. Great to see Brooker sticking it to the man for the BBC's lame market force led pandering. It's nice to have a break from screaming abuse at my TV whilst some bloke with his shirt off in a darkened front room does it for me. Right, back to work - I've got a date with that overrated one-trick chancer Louis Theroux. Obviously, I'm only jealous 'cos my girlfriend fancies him.

Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe is much to his credit. Keep up the good work A*.

It's 'trailer' not 'trail' for f*%&'s sake! And whilst we're on the subject, it's 'cereals' not 'cereal' as well!

Can we please stop the flaccid southernisation of Britain - I scarcely hear an authentic Yorkshire accent on the BBC - even "reporting Scotland" seems to be infested with nauseating southern English accents - where everything edgy is cockney, and everything serious is in unintelligible tribal southernese.

BTW, I do enjoy the show, it's one of the few things left on telly that's remotely amusing and inventive these days. Most of the other BBC comedy on telly these days is soulless, lifeless, drama-school playground pap with telegraphed gags and a disturbing fascination with all things sexual and addiction to bullying and sniping... most of it would be made much more interesting if they replaced the canned laughter with canned booing and canned threats of violence.

Well, having turned ostracism into a career, at least someone can get sanctioned to rant for me, when normally I can't get a post published on the BBC website for the sheer weight of BBC website multiple-posting nepotes. "...cannot guarantee all e-mails'll be published" (unless those that conflict with the censor's views fall neatly into a stereotype or erudition for those that agree with them, and knuckle-dragging grunting for those who dare not to).

I know you've got Elton John posters on your bedroom wall you lace-makin', toe-touchin', bed-wettin', side-saddle-ridin', children's-tv-presentin', online-community-subscribin', intonation-at-the-end-of-every-sentence-raisin', sex-in-the-city-watchin', really-really-bad-80s-retro-hairdo-and-winklepicker-sportin' pseudo-liberal-blackshirted fraggles...

Go on, publish my post, I dare you!

Charlie, I have been watching the telly for years and screaming at it every night, thinking I was on my own until I saw you last night, talking about Billie Piper. Oh the tears of joy, I couldn't get up off the carpet for a while, but I know now that I'm not alone - thank you.

Utterly hilarious - totally down to earth clarity on how TV really comes across sometimes. Awesome! Please don't axe this show!

Are some people missing the point about the swearing bleeps? Surprised that Charlie missed the 'Veet Girl' from the 'she-cocks'. Maybe he's saving her humiliation for another show...

The 2 October show was TV perfection. Not only was the commentary spot on, but Charlie Brooker's delivery is hilarious. This is one of the best TV shows on at the moment. Too many programmes bombard us with the general public's idiotic views, or meaningless comments from minor celebrities. CB provides us with genuine and entertaining opinions, I feel enriched and happy after watching. He should have a one-hour BBC Two primetime show where we get to hear his thoughts on all kinds of things.

Hello Charlie, keep up the righteous work. Can we have something on Veronica Mars?

The run-down of last ads in last night's show was genius - especially the air freshener. I am still laughing. His site TVGOHOME is well worth a look.

Watched this for the first time last night: top drawer. Good observations and opinions of modern TV. The in-your-face verbal punishment Charlie gives to things he sees error with, tickles me.

Well funny: this guy tells it like it is and should be commended for complaining about all the crap on TV, the way I do when I sit at home watching it.

Screenwipe is back and was an almost perfect look at telly from the inside and out. There were only two minor gripes with it. First the cartoon in the middle has nothing to do with TV and seems as relevant as Danni Behr's interviews with Premiership footballers she used to do for Channel 4's telly programme about telly programmes, Surf Potatoes, with that Max Beasley. Second, Nicholas Parsons' bit seemed to be a bit pointless and the clips from Sale of the Century were stretched sideways from 4:3 to fit 16:9. But spot on to poke fun of the silly end credit rules which mean that perversely we're now more not less likely to turn off this programme before the very end.

I watched the most recent edition of Screenwipe and was shocked and appalled at the extraordinary double standards I saw on display. Why is it that Gordon Ramsay is allowed to say "I feel like a f*cking action man" uncensored, but Charlie's response is bleeped out. Is this just another sickening example of television lying to us?

Just watched the new episode. The part with Eddie Large undergoing past life hypnosis made me laugh so hard I smashed four vases.

Superb programme, anybody who works in the TV industry will know how scarily true to life it all is. This programme should get a decent slot on BBC Two.

Charlie Brooker is king! Last night's Screenwipe (25 September 2007) was the funniest ever. Keep up the good work.

Well, all very well, but my Virgin on-screen guide just says Charlie… make your own conclusions.

I so loved this last night (25 September 2007). Charlie Brooker is a genius - the TV trust stuff was so on the nose, particularly the X-Factor segment. I agree with WG - TV shouldn't intentionally deceive, but it must entertain/educate/inform, and so on, or what is the point?

I can't understand why this programme is not on BBC One or BBC Two. It is utter brilliance.

Why is it that only Charlie's rude words are bleeped out and no one else's? This is an adult programme aimed at adults so bleeping out the swear words only irritates. Please stop it. Can't wait for the new series to start as it's nice to see and hear a bit of honesty on TV instead of the usual hypocritical drivel.

I agree with Nick in Sheffield... why bleep out Charlie's swearing? I find the bleep far more offensive than the swearword. Anyone who would be offended by his language would get offended by the language of others on the show. Is it some sort of BBC policy that presenters can not swear but guests and characters can?

I love this show. It's like a kind of broadsheet/intelligent version of Harry Hill's TV Burp. Many of the observations in programmes like this are so true, just like the sketches in Dead Ringers. I know they're light-hearted, but broadcasters should take a long good look at these satirical shows and take note of the observations made in them, for example, Charlie's reference at the end of the last show to the BBC's 'end credits policy', (ahheeemmm, don't get me started on this one)!

Thanks Charlie - as sharp as before and just as funny. And if anyone's interested, it's not just entertaining, embittered, crumbly, fast-approaching-50-year-old gits like me - I can hear my 17-year-old son laughing at the X Factor (which he also likes) feature as I write.

Fantastic. This programme is brilliant. It reinforces why I don't want to work in telly.

I am in awe. Screenwipe season four is marvellous! I laughed so hard I nearly split my sides. I go through a technical hell to get to watch it illegally in Denmark. But it's so good it's worth all the effort. Charlie Brooker is marvellous!

So Charlie makes the correct complaint about talking over end credits, only for you to talk over them. Was this at his request to prove his point? It seems to be getting increasingly common for BBC shows to do this, generally telling you what is on later. With there being no 'adverts' on the BBC I see no reason to do this. Following the show you will have trailers to pad the gaps between shows anyway, as well as often a static screen listing the shows on that evening. So why do it other than to annoy? Are you that concerned about us changing channel? We have on-screen TV guides, don't you know.

I absolutely love Screenwipe. Charlie's take on the week's TV is like nowt else.

Please do something about the ever-increasing screen clutter and overlays of programme titles. Examples - channel identities- now have added sentences, press the red button, coming up later, and so on. While credits roll information for the next programme is bunged onto the screen. Are they so scared of losing the viewer to remote-control finger? Oh, and just around the corner comes longer advert times per hour as European directives creep in soon. Thanks. Excellent programme.

Thank you Charlie, it's about time someone pointed out that television is primarily entertainment!

I just wanted to give the Beeb some much deserved kudos and thank you for the new series of Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe. It seems that there is an oasis for those of us not stupid enough to suckle at the opiate of the masses that is Big Brother. Thank you for coming back and keep up the good work.

Watching the clips show I'm reminded how funny this show is! Plus that girl Charlie shouts at for getting him a non-diet coke is gorgeous, as are all the researchers, hmmm.

Just a comment to say how much I love this programme and how truthful it is about the current state of TV. However, when I watched the USA TV special, I did think that some of the clips you showed of British TV to the Americans were a bit dodgy. For example you showed a not-so good bit of The Bill - maybe you could have shown them a clip where there is action?

With reference to the comment from Andre Barrett, London, I think Charlie did that on purpose to annoy everyone.

Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe could be a real viewer draw if it were to be put on to BBC One or BBC Two, but I think it should stay on BBC Four so that the elite few who have intelligence can watch and understand it. Excellent work, Charlie.

To Jason Calderwood Duncan, I am a 16-year-old who most likely doesn't belong to the elite few you speak of, but I very much enjoy the show.
