Misanthropes, pessimists and general grumps rejoice: Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe returns to the airwaves tonight to offer more scabrous commentary on news coverage, TV, film and whatever else catches Brooker's gimlet eye.

We recently caught up with him and couldn't resist also asking about the future of his Channel 4 drama series Black Mirror and the possibility of a Brooker book...

1. Sweet! I loved "How TV Ruined Your Life"

[Newsjock]

2. A classic that holds up well

The debut episode, "Fear," should be much more widely seen.

Love the way he mocks news spin as well as popular TV culture.

6. TV is nothing but the "Opium for the Masses"; Just come and get your fix, here!

Have any of you noticed that TELEVISION never gives us the things we really need?



Instead, we only get the things that TELEVISION wants us to have, such as "Mind Controls", "Marriage Breakdown" and a load full of serious "Health Problems", just to name a few.
