I love the way Charlie Brooker makes a cameo

[@thenarstar]

I've seen some of these phone-in questions easy to the extent they actually give the answer in the segment. For example:
'The island of Cyprus in what sea?
A. The Mediterranean Sea.
B. The Sea of Tranquillity
or
C. Opperation Sealion.
The winner will get a two-week holiday to Cyprus where they can enjoy the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea'.

PICK AN ASPECT RATIO AND STICK WITH IT

[@martijn86]

8:22 is very true. About the safe bubble of another persons enjoyment and the decreasing effort to work on your own social life.
