Best youtube comment I ever saw was a guy saying he always sings this along to the opening credits: CHARLIE BROOKER'S SCREENWIPE, CHARLIE BROOKER'S FUCKING SCREENWIPE!
@@jonfox1867 This is an incredibly old comment but because nobody's responded I feel honour bound to tell you the opening theme tune is A.M. 180 by Grandaddy off of their album Under the Western Freeway, it should be on all streaming platforms and is also obviously on TH-cam
I've always loved that sequence. I think it proves that you can dress up completely innocuous facts with sinister presentation and make them seem like some hidden evil is being committed. I agree with the previous posters, very Brass Eye.
"It was 1986...the year of the Challenger disaster, and the Chernobyl meltdown. Yet despite this carnage, Campbell's career went from strength to strength..." XD XD
I have a great idea for a TV show. People bring in their injured pets. The vet looks at them, figures out what is wrong, then stomps on their head. If the animal is larger than a pig he uses a hammer.
Hells bells, I remeber Hi-5, which my parents would put on for me around the time this was recorded. Really strange to hear someone mention something so obscure that I remember.
It's amazing how much explicit stuff Arrested Development managed to get past the censors just by not having a laugh track and by just glossing over things.
YES! Love hearing a man whose opinion I respect so much recommending my favorite TV show! Arrested Development is easily the funniest sitcom ever made. And that clip from Mr.Show looks hilarious, defo gonna look into that!
I enjoy Pointless as well, but I can only get British TV through TH-cam channels, and I haven't been able to find a lot of uploads of Pointless. I've been able to watch a lot more of The Chase, and it's still my favorite.
Milkshake on Channel 5? I used to watch Beyblade then!?! I guess it does help you wake up when watching insane japanese toons played back with american rock music about magical spinning tops....i swear i didn't take drugs back in the 90's (wouldn't have been old enough too)
i assumed people put on the tv on the morning to avoid falling back asleep. And the morning show my mom used to put on when I was a kid (some Finnish show) would tell you the time all the time, so you'd be aware of how much time you have left.
Fuck Deal or No Deal; send us The Chase! I LOVE that show, and yet Fox will not greenlight it even though they shot the pilot earlier this year. It's been on ITV1 for six seasons now; it has a proven track record. Contact the networks, my fellow Americans, and tell them we need that show now.
07:30 by the time she got shot, I'd already dumped my telly in favour of a powerbook with internet connection. When I shouted 'Who the hell is Jan Dildo anyway?' in my office, I got dirty looks.
6:48 Jamie Oliver looks a bit more Julian Clary than himself.... Funnily enough the instant he said "3 comedies you should watch you may not have heard of", Arrested Development was the first thing that sprang to my mind.
Yeah, but he pulled Konnie looking like that! (Brooker himself says he now just lets his hair grow a bit. He's made some money what with his TV writing like Dead Set and the brilliant Black Mirror, plus books based on his columns in The Guardian).
I like people like Charlie brooker and bill maher. Every where you go all you hear from people is "Everything is fine". "No, everything is OK", it could be worse". Not charlie brooker or bill maher. Both of them say "No, there are problems going on and trying to compare them with someones is just pushing it all under the rug. We got problems and they need sorting".
Pretty sure they filmed the pilot but there was no further information on it, so it could be waiting to be greenlighted, or they will just not say anything about it and let it vanish
littlesmew if sheridan smith who acted on two pints of lager and a packet of crisps is good enough to work with the better half of the league of gentlemen then an actor off two pints of lager and a packet of crisps is good enough for charlie brooker
ha look how square Charlie was. with his 2 doller haircut and his dad's jumper on....these days he's all sexified with his floppy silver fox hair, his hipster half beard, his dinner suit and his glamourous wife/
Scantily clad ladies for male amusement? That wouldn't fly on the BBC, these days. Having said that, neither would the well-written and humorous narrative. (I'm assuming this. I haven't watched the BBC in years.)
Charlie Brooker has his belt hanging out at 19:00... I now have an excuse to do the same... Although the whole fucking point of this was to be/to understand that that shouldn't be or couldn't be an excuse because I shouldn't fucking need one no matter the importance of my titular position.
I cant believe i've stumbled upon 5 entire series' of undiscovered gold
Me too! I’m a huge 24 fan too. Brilliant find.
You would have to stumble across it. It's wouldn't get on the telly, these days.
Welcome to the ancient tombs of richness, brother.
Duuuude its Peter Serafinowicz "Look Around You" vibes. It has a DOPE OPENING SOOOOOONG!!!!!
There's also newswipe and weeklywhipe plus Christmas specials I forgot how funny this is haven't seen this for years Charlie booker is so funny
Best youtube comment I ever saw was a guy saying he always sings this along to the opening credits:
CHARLIE BROOKER'S SCREENWIPE, CHARLIE BROOKER'S FUCKING SCREENWIPE!
Is it purpose made for the show or is it a released track? There's something weirdly hypnotic about it.

27:33 Oh my gosh, I remembered Hi-5 when I was a kid!
That Nicky Campbell sequence is just brilliant
+Blue Whovian Brooker wrote on Brasseye. Could of been his influence coming through or Morris rubbing off on him
Brooker also wrote Nathan Barley with him.

What is the music playing in the background?
Ah yes, Animal Hospital, when Rolf Harris was still employable...
He is still employable.. just to a different sort
Glyn Davies when he was still allowed to roam freely
ben goldacre being one of the few sane voices talking about science on TV in the UK. again. when will people listen?!
The last four minutes are amazing.
Breakfast: "Hello, you're watching breakfast."
Me, eating breakfast:
I have a great idea for a TV show.

Brooke’s love of hi 5 is very endearing and hilarious

Charlie Brooker shouting out Sean Lock's 15 Stories High ❤❤
That doctor part was really good. He was talking real stuff and they had witness the fitness on in the background!
watching all of these from the very beginning, for the second time, you sir are a god among men
YES! Love hearing a man whose opinion I respect so much recommending my favorite TV show! Arrested Development is easily the funniest sitcom ever made. And that clip from Mr.Show looks hilarious, defo gonna look into that!
Yes! 15 Storeys High is absolutely great.
The Jamie Oliver segment was ruthless lol
This show is so awesome!
I enjoy Pointless as well, but I can only get British TV through TH-cam channels, and I haven't been able to find a lot of uploads of Pointless. I've been able to watch a lot more of The Chase, and it's still my favorite.

It's funny seeing Jamie Oliver so loved back then and now gets dunked on everyone for being a bad chef
I just realised that Ben Goldacre is the spitting image of Milton Jones
Back when good tv shows were made and people wanted to accept and watch them
15 Stories High is awsome
Brilliant taste in show anyone who likes it
Thank you, TV Tropes! :)
Oh my god early Naomi Wilkinson on Milkshake, before she was all over CBBC
i assumed people put on the tv on the morning to avoid falling back asleep.
And the morning show my mom used to put on when I was a kid (some Finnish show) would tell you the time all the time, so you'd be aware of how much time you have left.
After I saw this video the first time, I watched a marathon of it. It's great stuff; love Sean Lock.
Around 28:00 on the Hi-5 segment, the basket the puppy is sleeping in has dog footprint patterns that look scarily like tons of jizzing cocks.
I can't believe I'm only just finding out now that sean lock did a sitcom.
Now I want to see Blackadder: The White House Years.
You can tell he wrote for Brass Eye.
Hooray for smush!
Let's blithely accept everything!
"Crunchingly awkward tonal shifts"
Imagine if he saw The One Show
Deal or No Deal was 2006. I just can't get over how long ago that show I never watched due to good taste was broadcast.
It wasn't that bad although it had its moments of bloody awfulness.
The Jill Dando thing was hilarious.
about the science stuff, bang goe the theory and james mays big ideas are pretty good at bringing science to the viewing public
This must be the first TH-cam video I've seen with more than 50 ThumbsUpthat has ZERO Thumbs down! You've done it Charlie!
i keep expecting something sinister to creep out of the dark far corner of the room.
Charlie being an arrested development fan makes me so happy.
Fuck Deal or No Deal; send us The Chase! I LOVE that show, and yet Fox will not greenlight it even though they shot the pilot earlier this year. It's been on ITV1 for six seasons now; it has a proven track record. Contact the networks, my fellow Americans, and tell them we need that show now.
I loved turkey twizzlers...
haha thats right derek! HUMAN BLOOD!!!
07:30 by the time she got shot, I'd already dumped my telly in favour of a powerbook with internet connection. When I shouted 'Who the hell is Jan Dildo anyway?' in my office, I got dirty looks.
6:48 Jamie Oliver looks a bit more Julian Clary than himself....
Funnily enough the instant he said "3 comedies you should watch you may not have heard of", Arrested Development was the first thing that sprang to my mind.
Thankfully it's a "you've probably heard of" now, but it definitely wouldn't have been in 2006.
Is the fictional editor the same guy that does Barry Shitpeas? Also the stupid marketing guy with the pen made me laugh a silly amount.
stelling08 Yeah he is :)
Yeah, but he pulled Konnie looking like that!
(Brooker himself says he now just lets his hair grow a bit. He's made some money what with his TV writing like Dead Set and the brilliant Black Mirror, plus books based on his columns in The Guardian).

Love this
Jeremy Vine being on TV actually makes me miss Nicky Campbell..
I think that's Charlie.
Pretty sure they filmed the pilot but there was no further information on it, so it could be waiting to be greenlighted, or they will just not say anything about it and let it vanish
Jamie oliver....... Give me back my turkey twizzlers!!!!!!!
"Hello, is that the 1930s? Yes, err, could you stop the Second World War happening, please?"
I thought I was the only Brit to have heard of Mr Show.
Do mine ears bewitch me with whispers of Xanadu?
what super sex position does a schrodinger's catamite assume?
TV is all "ghastly backside"
only 37 more views and this hits 123456
Wait..Were those "maids" in the skit where Charilie is on the couch the actors from 2 Pints & a Packet Of Crisps?!?
Calm down mate.
I was merely stating an observation.
littlesmew if sheridan smith who acted on two pints of lager and a packet of crisps is good enough to work with the better half of the league of gentlemen then an actor off two pints of lager and a packet of crisps is good enough for charlie brooker
The Secret Life of Machines was better than both of those.
Yeah, Sharia is going to be great, lol
Anyone know the music playing at 6:10?
It's Daft Punk -Television Rules The Nation for anyone who might still care
Sorry, but how is the "people in marketing" bit not a meme again?
Granny dun wasted her time!
Wow... So "Nasha Russia" isn't an original series?
ha look how square Charlie was. with his 2 doller haircut and his dad's jumper on....these days he's all sexified with his floppy silver fox hair, his hipster half beard, his dinner suit and his glamourous wife/
He loves 24 more than Covey? Gotta feel sorry if the kid ever finds that clip
Covey wasn't born yet!
nearly 15 years and nothing has changed with science and television. Now the rot has moved on to streaming services with that Goop crap.
Year?
2014
I swear program used to be called something else?!
2006, this is screen wipe, he did news wipe later and now he's doing weekly wipe.
Oooh! Have you come from the future?
@Ben Jammin wow!......I come from the past, myself......I've even been known to occasionally ejaculate trilobite fossils....
What's the song at 16:18?
Jack Osborne Roots Manuva - Witness
might even be this version: Witness (1 Hope) (Walworth Road Rockers dub)
Roots Manuva :]
JESUS CHRIST!
1:57
Scantily clad ladies for male amusement? That wouldn't fly on the BBC, these days. Having said that, neither would the well-written and humorous narrative.
(I'm assuming this. I haven't watched the BBC in years.)
@G S W I didn't see many tits. I guess you're right, the narrative was there, though. Possibly without some of his old vitriol.
Charlie Brooker has his belt hanging out at 19:00... I now have an excuse to do the same... Although the whole fucking point of this was to be/to understand that that shouldn't be or couldn't be an excuse because I shouldn't fucking need one no matter the importance of my titular position.
He loves 24 more than he would his own child? Wonder if that's still true...
