BBC2 has confirmed the transmission details of Charlie Brooker's Election Wipe. The 60-minute special will go out on the eve of the General Election at 9pm on Wednesday May 6

Brooker will be joined by his Weekly Wipe regulars Morgana Robinson, Cassette Boy, Philomena Cunk and Barry Shitpeas, who will impart their unique perspective on the politics, propaganda and party plans the nation is set to have rammed down its throat.   

Brooker said “At a time of great political uncertainty it'll be a honour to bring some much-needed confusion to the national debate. Since our show transmits in the run up to the election, it will have to adhere to strict impartiality rules - which means it will -- by law -- be equally disparaging to all parts of the political spectrum.”

Charlie Brooker’s Election Wipe is written and presented by Charlie Brooker and executive produced by Annabel Jones through their new production company House of Tomorrow, part of Endemol Shine Group.
