oh wow thanks, didnt know if was coming on so soon, cant wait for it.

The BBC is neglecting to cover and represent the Gaming culture and business in the UK. This is a welcome development.

Abaca · 26/09/09 - 12:08

Excellent stuff, this is a definite must-see.

[Deleted User] · 26/09/09 - 12:28

Is it true he once worked in a game shop?

Leeham · 26/09/09 - 12:56

Will this be on the iPlayer?

I watch Real Housewives after CSI because it drives me insane to see such awful women

Charlie used to work at Computer Exchange during the early 90s. Here's reference to him, on their web site:-

He also used to at one time review games for PC Zone, so it's a subject he can talk about with relative knowledge.

Thanks for the heads up

Can't wait for this - love all Charlie's 'Wipe shows

batdude_uk1 · 26/09/09 - 17:47

I hope this is a return to form, as I wasn't exactly a fan of his latest show.

Screenwipe was him at his best, so I hope Gameswhipe is just like Screenwipe, but just in gaming form.

He did the PC Zone letters page for ages too. Would just abuse everyone who wrote in.

I remember that, hadn't twigged that it was the same person!

Ought to be good, Charlie can be interesting, informative and funny on just about any subject but when he's more passionate about them the end product is better - and his background is in computing and gaming.

Thanks for the heads-up - as it's on for 50 minutes I'm assuming it's a one-off and not the first of a series?

I've got a series link on it in my sky box, so will wait to see what it sets up next.

Could be part of the electric revolution week on BBC Four.

It is a one off.

As expected this was typical Charlie - and educational too - fantastic!
