I've always loved that bit at the start of his piece I'm socially inept, but I joined Facebook anyway:

"I don't get people. What's their appeal, precisely? They waddle around with their haircuts on, cluttering the pavement like gormless, farting skittles. They're awful."

That's rather a good description of my guinea pigs

Even the trailer made me cringe. Just another attempt by 5 to fill the time-slot, doomed to failure. Next.

Charlie Brooker is always good value in print.

In fact him & Ben 'Bad Science' are the best things in the Guardian

He really worked that vegetable analogy for all it was worth. For the first couple of paragraphs I thought it was a cookery show.

Very good, that certainly painted a picture of the program for me.

As someone who switched off TalkSport when Ian Wright was on it, this struck a chord:

"For instance, last week Ian Wright read out a story about David Hasselhoff's alleged drink problem, and summed it up by saying, "Wossee playing at? I mean, sort it out!" Then he did a sort of open-palmed "it's-common-sense-innit" shrugging manoeuvre. Thus the issue was settled."

But maybe I'm wrong. Imagine Ian Wright as our Prime Minister.
