There won't be any new idents this year. Cutbacks I guess. They are using last years, plus some from 2006 apparently.

They should use the idents from the 80s and 90s. That would be a real nostalgia kick for a lot of people.

I can't understand why everyone's so surprised and shocked that Clarkson said something outrageous. He's already offended pretty much everyone on Earth - he revels in it. Unison have played right into his hands, now he can tick them off the big list he has stuck on his fridge door of 'people I've made angry'.

Heh, they played that John Lewis commercial that Brooker hates.

This is great so far though, really dark.

1984 was the 1984 for 1949.

He left it up to us to choose.

In our heads.

I chose yes.

Judging by the lack of blood stains and emptiness of the rooms, I think we were supposed to assume they'd just up and left him (possibly for creepy masturbating to past images guy).

Who will be this generation's Aled Jones or will they go against vocals in favour of thrumming dubstep?

Dizzee Rascal.

E: Today I will watch the original Snowman, as well as Blackadder's Christmas Carol and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, to see if I can eke out a bit of the old festive spirit from this world weary cynical carcass of mine.

Also, a not to watch it is loving horrible guide for 4oD comedy:

Captain Butler.
Bo Selecta.
Crapston Villas.
Modern Toss.
Los Dos Bros.
Big Bang Theory.
The Morgana Show.
The Angelos Neil Epithemiou Show.

I sort of enjoyed Crapstone Villas, and I really don't know why because it was pretty horrid.

There is actually a real place called Crapstone in Devon. Something for the fact fans there.

Why do the C4 announcers keep mispronouncing The Simpsons? :psyduck:

They called it The Dimpsons yesterday.

And today they called it the EEDIES?

Gram-O-Phone: Mar 9, 2007; Oh, play that thing!

Well, I can honestly say I hadn't noticed them mangling The Simpsons until last night, and I usually watch the show most days. Shows how observant I am, I guess it all just washes over me (I'm usually doing other stuff at the same time) :confused:

I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be Derren's doing. Something along the lines of your brain just hearing what it expects to hear or something.

She also tried to get the entirety of the Science Fiction genre in, by stating that 'It's not real! It's just silly!'.

Stephen Fry did call her a 'fatuous bint'. Looks like he was right again.

"The Simptrons"

How long are they going to keep this up for?

It sort of made sense with this episode, due to the 'tron' reference in the 3D segment at the end. Whether that was by coincidence or not, I have no idea.

I don't care that Charlie Brooker got a haircut/wife/kid, his work has just become kinda poo poo lately. I miss him making fun of reality TV. He seems out of his depth when discussing politics or media, and his columns are pretty dull nowadays.

I just want more Screenwipe and Gameswipe. Pleeease?
