TV Charlie Brooker interviewed by Mof Gimmers about his new show Newswipe which starts this evening: "When you're negative it's usually a result of disappointment. Sometimes things can be bad and you enjoy how bad they are... everyone does that... I mean, I've never thought of myself as a critic, more a writer who is trying to be entertaining... and when I'm doing Screenwipe or Screen Burn, my subject just happens to be television. What you're doing, when you're slagging something off, you're doing the equivalent of sitting there watching something with a mate and turning 'round and saying "They might as well call this Coronation Shit, hur hur hur." It's effectively that. If it was that bad, you wouldn't watch it at all."
