Kilbowie's Finest Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Just watched this on BBC2 - absolutely outstanding as usual from Brooker with some real laugh out loud moments mixed with his usual biting sarcasm . The section on the referendum is possibly the best thing the BBC did on the thing all year. All rounded off with a brilliant version of Reasons to be Cheerful backed by The Blockheads Best programme on TV over Christmas- well worth catching on the I- Player if you missed it.

Bert Raccoon Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Thought it was excellent as usual and have to agree, some real laugh out loud moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperCaleyGoBallistic Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Pretty good on the whole but that rap thing at the end was really bad, should've put that idea straight in the bin. Also felt it lacked Stanhope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I only caught the last 15 minutes but it was entertaining. Didn't like the song at the end, it was a bit too cringey and self-indulgent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derrybiy Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I thought it was a bit dissapointing, the series were better. The song got annoying very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satans_Husband Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Can't stand the actor inserts. Truly annoying. Agree with that totally. I record it and fast forward through those bits. The stuff they're saying can be alright but the delivery is infuriating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Loved it as usual. The wee serious bit about the non linear politics was scary and fascinating at the same time. And I even liked the wee song at the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Watched it again with the Mrs, don't know why but the Ukraine/Stomp bit had me in stitches again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotlandGer Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 This was probably the one bit of TV I was looking forward to, and it was great again. I was a bit unsure about the Adam Curtis bit. Never knew that concept from Russian politics could be attributed to one guy, with a background in avant-garde art, but thought its application to UK politics needs a bit more work to convince. He'll probably be able to flesh it out in a longer documentary, right enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kebab Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Best thing on over Christmas without a doubt!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_BullyWee Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I thought it was excellent as always and hopefully Newswipe will be on again this month for its usual series. I thought the Adam Curtis thing was brilliant and he has a 2 hour documentary which is only available on IPlayer, I think it's the 25th of this month it's going to be available so can't wait for that.
