Be Excellent To Each Other

Charlie Brooker's Screen Wipe, BBC4, 10:30pm, 16th December.

NOW.

Although you'll all probably have to catch it on iplayer now.

Man, I was purposely not telling anyone here so they totally freaked out. Well that and I've not been around.

BUT STILL.

Twas awesome. Twas very awesome.

Screenwipe doesn't get a repeat later on the week on BBC3 does it?

Only get near a TV on Wednesday and Thursday evenings at the moment, annoyingly.

I have it recording right now, going to go and watch it when it's done

Got me anyway, I hadn't heard anything about it. Fantastic.

I wish Stuart would post here agin, but he hates us like Grim.. does.

Um. My tellybox says Screenwipe's on at 12.20 tonight...

Edit: Ah, and pressing the internet for an answer, it's a repeat already. And it'll be repeated at least once during the week as well (possibly Friday or Saturday).

Indeedy do. No mistaking it was him.

Wish he still loved us. Everyone who loves us eventually leaves.

Not on iPlayer or UKNova yet, no signal in this room, and can't move around because the Mother-In-Law needs to get up in 3 hours for a flight to America...so I'll probably have to watch it tomorrow.

While I like it, I fail to see the relevance.

Everyone I love is dead.

I'm still here... oh yeah.. got you.

I thought it must have been Ashens but why no love in the credits?

It was, he confirmed it on his page.

Aside from the Noseybonk stuff, the Oliver Postgate tribute had me blarting. Oliver Postgate; what a legend.

I have no idea who you are talking about or what you mean. None at all. And neither does my cat. Or my coffee table. Or my doormat. (etc).

The bit about that religious American kid's programme actually made me laugh so hard that I cried salty man tears. Best Screenwipe in the series so far.

Jesus Christian Science Bible time. Like the bastard offspring of Pipkins and god. A testament to one mans LSD addiction and yes that was indeed awesome.

The mouse organ song over the end credits was genius and made for the best screenwipe I've seen in ages.

An excellent edition, and the obituary for Postgate was perfect.

I also blarted at the end.

Screenwipe was as great as ever, but the mocking of Christian Science Bible Lesson Show, and especially David Liebe Hart seemed a bit unfair, as Hart was clearly in on the 'joke'. Seeing his spots on Tim And Eric Awesome Show is pretty conclusive proof of that. Here's Tim and Eric on Hart's "Junior Christian Teaching Bible Lesson Program".



I really need to see an episode of that kids show that had a live appearance from Cornelius.

Is that where you fart so hard some blood comes out?

If it helps lessen the pain, yes.

Just watched this, I didn't realise Oliver Postgate was responsible for Ivor the Engine and Bagpuss and things.
