Brilliantly funny. Loved Shouty Fox woman, and the Fisher Price cyberman body scanner. And the increasingly complicated Nigerian pants bomber's name. And the whole Yemen bit (Alqaeda-on-sea etc.).
And Britains snow chaos - "last packet of croissants".
I wish he'd do more Screenwipe rather than another full series of Newswipe. I found it repetitive, and stating the obvious to people who probably got it themselves.

Because Charlie Brooker watches Big Brother in secret
It won't feature on this though - it's about news coverage. Are you getting confused with Screenwipe?

Excellent.
That bloke at the end who said the snow chaos "doesn't matter does it" is a legend. He was so excited.
In all seriousness, there's probably a quota. For example, I think 12a films can get away with a singular 'f###' - any more and you go up to 15.
Brilliant show anyway.
Though not really a big deal in this I Player age but still annoyed.
I love Charles Brooker and I work in News too.
Not so interested fact ... The BBC used Newswipe as part of it's News and Current Affairs training.
If I remember rightly he said he does it to avoid controversy towards him, although I think he might be joking. Might be.
Whats the story there?
Same here.
Yep, me too! Thought it was my internet screwing up! I really want to watch it
