Can't stand the man. His show should be renamed 'Charlie Brooker is an arse wipe'.

He'd probably agree with you and not be arsed what you thought.

I don't actually enjoy watching Charlie Brooker, he's always come across as a bit 'right on' for me, however, i read this thread and found the Brexit bit on youtube and actually, thoroughly enjoyed it. I don't know any of the Cunk or whatever, characters, so no clue what you're talking about.

My favourite bit was where he was a reporter interviewing a leave voter and started shouted racist at him without letting him speak, so funny and so true. I might give him a try next time.

That was brilliant by miles the best TV show over Christmas and the most enjoyable nights viewing on BBC2 last night Robotwars, Charlie Brooker, Cunk on Christmas and then Kevin Bridges.
I totally agree, well maybe not about Robotwars, I didn't see it.
But I thought Charlie Brooker, Cunk on Christmas, followed by Kevin Bridges was easily the best night's viewing over the holiday period. I now wish I'd kept it for NYE, it would have been so much better than last night's dire offerings. Even copious amounts of drink didn't make that appear any better.

Still don't understand the random bleeping, is Brooker only allowed a certain quota of swearwords per episode?

I can understand the bleeping of the C-word, but after 9pm surely they're allowed a few F-words?

It was shown at 9pm and Ofcom expect a gradual loosening of the reins so, at least early in the show, it was probably thought wise. Having said that the man does like to have a little joke at the expense of the censors from time to time so he may well have employed some bleeps to actually make it seem worse than it actually was.

I've just watched the repeat, and I didn't notice any bleeps.

( And that was the first time I've seen Trump's uncensored comment about where he felt able to grab any woman. Yuck)

Very enjoyable, as always. Made me feel a little less insane about how the horrible year went.

I particularly laughed at Cunk and Shitpeas' parts, but I seem to be in a minority in this.

Oh well.

Maybe. But it's a very high class minority of right thinking people so win, win!!!

Charlie has always bleeped himself, whilst leaving clips and talking heads intact going all the way back to the early days of Screenwipe.

For example Doug Stanhope's rants were full of swears and were completely uncensored. It's just for comedic effect.

I liked Cunk and Shitpeas' parts as well.

I watched the repeat on BBC Two and the bleeps were still there. Was it unbleeped in a different region?

I honestly don't know, but I wouldn't have thought so.

Perhaps I just didn't notice them

Well it was quite late when I watched; that's my excuse anyway!

Do we know if we're getting a new series this year?

No. I mean, no to knowing, not no to a new series though obviously it could turn out to be no to a new series since there doesn't appear to be anyone doing anything to change the no to knowing at present.

The old ones were better than this single-'joke' offering.
I remember enjoying them back in the day.

The Xmas Cunk thing after it was way better.

If I had a pound for every time someone trots out the 'not as good as it was' line on this forum I could build a secret lair in the heart of an extinct volcano!

Genuinely wondering if Baz_James is an undercover moderator and part of a misguided attempt to keep the forum 'balanced'.
