Charlie Brooker has done pretty well for himself. His latest series of Black Mirror has been made for Netflix and the first episode of six all simultaneously released is directed by Joe ‘Atonement’ Wright and has all the gloss of a Hollywood production. It’s not laugh-out loud funny. In fact it feels so accurate it is more scary than satirical.
Pictures have now been released from the forthcoming Cunk on Shakespeare. You can see them here. And there's more about the programme below.
Further information has been released on the forthcoming special, Cunk on Shakespeare, to be presented by Philomena Cunk, regular expert on Charlie Brooker's Wipe shows.
Philomena Cunk has joined the line-up of experts and academics contributing to BBC2's forthcoming month-long season marking of the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare's death. She will be fronting her own programme called Cunk on Shakespeare.
Charlie Brooker’s end-of-the-year Wipes have become essential viewing. They are the best way of making some kind of sense of the mess the world is in today. And this year’s edition was no exception.
Except there was a problem. 2015 is probably the bleakest year since Brooker has been doing these shows. It was a year bookended by two tragedies in Paris and somehow our guide had to negotiate a path that was both funny and sensitive. It was a tough call but he did it pretty well.
What does it say in the Bible about the last coming first? After an election campaign that has been crammed to the brink with satirical programmes, Charlie Brooker bowled along just as last orders were being called to show the rest how it should be done.
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.
Charlie Brooker is to make a special edition of his 'Wipe' programme to tie in with the forthcoming General Election. Charlie Brooker's Election Wipe will bring viewers a summary of the good, the bad and the ugliness of the election campaign. Brooker will follow it so everyone else doesn’t have to.
When critics heard that Charlie Brooker had become a father there was talk of him becoming more sentimental. Going soft. That certainly doesn’t seem to be the case if the seasonal, sinister and sour Black Mirror: White Christmas is any guide.
At times while watching this it almost feels as if he is more poisonous, more nasty and, in particular, more cynical than ever about the potential for technology to take us over and screw us up.
Radio 4 Extra is making a three-hour documentary about the work of Chris Morris. The programme, entitled Raw Meat Radio, is due to be broadcast on November 29 at 7pm.
The project came about after the digital channel re-ran Morris’ influential radio show Blue Jam earlier this year. The producer is Morris superfan Sophie Black, who has been interviewing a number of people who have worked with the elusive auteur over the years.
Mad Men's Jon Hamm is to star in the Black Mirror Christmas special. Hamm will link together three separate stories "binding them togther into a suitably unsettling whole."
