No 2019 Wipe (though they had 'Cunk and Other Humans on 2019' a couple of weeks back, mini-episodes adding up to about half an hour). BBC Two are showing a 'best of' compilation from the 2010-15 Wipes tomorrow night, followed by the full 2016 Wipe.
Television Charlie Brooker's Wipe
- Thread starter R.N7
- Start date
Seen the thread bump and thought there was a new 2019 wipe...
I think wipe is done, Brooker's to close to those he's making fun of.
Maybe there's a young cynic who can continue the format.

Finally something positive about this whole mess.
Would gladly sacrifice the later series of Black Mirror in return for some more yearly wipes
Perfect show to make considering its him at home watching TV
“The BBC asked me to supply a quote for the press release,” said Brooker, “which is what you’re reading now.”

Excellent! Though there's no release date?

BBC2 tonight at 9pm.
Cheers for the reminder!
Wonderful. So excited for this.
Thought it was excellent. Laughed out loud multiple times and also really showed up the government’s failings
Yeah, happy that it was on because it was brilliant but sad because it probably means it won't happen again for ages, it is just what has been missing on TV these last few years.
The Elton John bit was hilarious. How have I never seen that before?
That Philomena Cunk segment at the end.
Really enjoyed that.
Missed screenwipe. Hopefully Brooker at least starts doing his review of the year again if we can't have regular wipes.

I did unfortunately, that concert was dreadful. Won't go down in history like Live Aid etc.
Pandemic Pete for feck sake
. Hancock is going to be stuck with that now.That was excellent. Elton John must be fuming.

If anything, it's even worse listening to it in full.The youtube comment comparing him to Vic Reeves was spot on.

Was really good, shame it's not on anymore really.
Was an awful version. in fairness to him though reading his book he seems to take criticism pretty well and laugh it off most the time, decent read actually even if not a massive fan of his.
Wow,if anything Brooker was being kind.
Oh dear, done in good faith Elton but that was a bad performance,man.

I missed the Elton John joke because my mum rang me. What did he say?
The Elton John bit was amazing, he sounds like he's singing after having his back teeth pulled.
He needs to rip the piss out of celebs and synchro-dancing rozzers and nurses more.
That was... Uncomfortable
The whole thing was brilliant. Not necessarily an easy task to make a satirical show about an ongoing crisis, but it actually worked really well.
"Looks like Tintin who'd aged rapidly after watching his dog drown"
The Cunk "what's your background ?" question was like watching a sketch from Abrahams and Zucker film(Naked Gun,Police Squad,Airplane! etc)
Amusing as always, the Schofield reverb bit actually made me properly laugh.
That might be the best Cunk segment I've seen.
I was in stitches throughout the whole thing. Started crying at the spiders bit
Cracked up when he referred to Boris Johnson as a massive womble

No 2021 Wipe but 'Death to 2021' due to come out on Netflix on 27th December: https://www.nme.com/news/tv/netflix...ooker-backed-death-to-2021-this-month-3110715
Prefer the yearly wipe but I suppose having celebs do this is far more marketable.
