Charlie brooker is one of the most underrated tv personality on the BBC who's so unbelievably talented, real, sincere, funny and intelligent. Charlie keep being real and people love you for it ❤️
It's crazy to think that one way or another, I've grown up with Charlie Brooker, even though he's a just a few years older than me. I used to read Oink comic when I was a kid (kind of like Viz for the younger generation) for which he was a contributor. I have the same love of growing up with the Zx Spectrum, choose your own adventure books (both of these form the basis of Bandersnatch). The screen wipe years were also a highlight, sharing contempt for news and current affairs. Black mirror summarises fears for the future (and even present day). One way or another I have consumed his output and shared his fears since early teenage years. Satire keeps Charlie Brooker sane, Charlie Brooker keeps me sane.
I'm the sort of person who wheels into depression every time I get off internet... Charlie Brooker's amazing work has certainly helped me get through some depressing moments ever since I discovered him...
Yes for me too Jon. Often I think that I must have extreme almost crazy views that feel really isolating. Satirists often share those views and express them in a clear and concise manner, much better than I could ever do it.
Tend to agree but I still can't forgive him his bullshit reaction to Brexit and Trump in 2016 Wipe. I know he was trying to be funny but he just came across as a dick. EDIT: Fuck, he was being serious. What a silly boy.
You thought the left wing Charlie Brooker was joking about Trump and Brexit? You're even less intelligent than I first gave you credit for and I set the bar low.
He rewrites himself while he's talking. Starts a sentence, deletes, restarts, thinks again, changes words and then decides on a way to say it and reaches the end of the sentence. Always fun and interesting to hear what's going on in this man's head.
I understand what you mean. He's incredibly hesitant, and 'acts out' his thought-to-speech processes far more than most people. Very rarely I get a little frustrated by it, but mostly it's enlightening as you say.
Interesting to stumble upon this. I was in the audience, front row, sitting about ten feet from Charlie. It was a great talk, and from memory went on quite a bit longer than this clip. And if you can track down a copy of TVGoHome it is worth reading. A spoof Radio Times (TV guide) with a vast number of made up channels and programs. Full of interesting facts such as "Members of your own family care more about what Cat Deely is wearing than whether you live or die", and lets just say I will never think of Mich Hucknall in the same way again.
Charlie is like the present day Charles dickens ✌🏼😉 using satire to humiliate his opponents. He concentrates on the gap of rich and poor always highlights how tv makes people make believe. Charlie needs to do more he got so much to contribute. Please bring back more Charlie brooker adore him.
I was responding to the first nasty comment you deleted doos, and being a 20 year old who owns a copy of Photoshop Pro does not equate to 20 years professional experience little boy. But I'm interested in why you're so defensive, is your daddy the editor responsible for the mess?
o no he's in the in group now, this is just like that episode of black mirror that's a bit like network where someone gets his own tv show where he threatens to kill himself every night as the gimmick, watch charlie brooker kill the man he used to be bit by bit. look at that haircut, and that smile, why is he smiling?
I'm pretty sure that in the episode you mention Brooker was having a dig at himself and the position he found himself in, criticising the 'system' while benefiting from it. It seemed like that to me when I first saw it. I think it's called '15 Million Merits'.

He's so damn right about satire making the world seem more sane. British satire has certainly done that for me. Really enjoy his work.
Yes for me too Jon. Often I think that I must have extreme almost crazy views that feel really isolating. Satirists often share those views and express them in a clear and concise manner, much better than I could ever do it.
And for me.
I can't imagine where - or who - I would be without.
I feel SO fortunate to have been introduced to Charlie - even if it was only recently.
That you for uploading this!
(And thanks to TH-cam)
Brooker.
A true living legend.
I would LOVE to see Charlie Brooker's ZX Spectrum game.
#Bandersnatch
If there is anyone on tv I could go to dinner with to have a good convo with it would be Charlie brooker !! Aspirational tv clip is amazing talent
Charlie Brooker #Legend 😎

Edgy.
Tedious.

littlegelland Like most people talk? Your comment sounds like someone who has never had a spoken conversation with another person
Maybe I'm a robot...

Loved hearing him mentioning the ZX Spectrum this long before Bandersnatch
Watch "How Video Games Changed the World". He mentions ZX Spectrum a lot.

8:13 Great advice for film makers!

Legend
12:38 I wonder which episode he was talking about... I thought it had to be Playtest but that was released the previous year. Maybe Black Museum?
2016: I'm the year from hell
2020: lol!
Modern day rod sterling .... Really cool dude...
Serling
8:56 Censored? by whom!
Is Mr Brooker made out of ghosts?
No, he is just a colourised b/w film.
That was going to be my second guest.
I would be too after being exposed to too much media.
Christ. Can't picture James without a beard.
Bubble Bobble is a great arcade game though
They forgot to white balance this vid before releasing it, Charlie looks like one of the walking dead and James looks like a pumpkin.
Racist!
Pretentious prat.

haircut and smile can be explained by referring to wife
I'm pretty sure that in the episode you mention Brooker was having a dig at himself and the position he found himself in, criticising the 'system' while benefiting from it. It seemed like that to me when I first saw it.
I think it's called '15 Million Merits'.
chris morris he ain't
He doesn't pretend to be. They're two very different characters. And they've each made a strong and valuable contribution to popular culture.
