Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Jackson Booth-Millard I first saw the host of this alternative sideways look at TV quiz game show on Screenwipe, and I was very eager to see him in another show showing up TV in all its glory. Basically Charlie Brooker, who I first heard of writing the fantastic zombie horror Big Brother satire drama Dead Set, hosts this TV programme that both takes a look at the most popular, strange and talked about shows on terrestrial, Freeview, satellite and Sky TV, and tests celebrity guests to answer questions on them. These guests, mostly comedians, who have been made to watch whatever programme appearing, are given little questions about something in the show, or to improvise something funny based around it, i.e. a good joke. These guests have included: Rufus Hound, Jamelia, Grace Dent, Josie Long, Frank Skinner, Frankie Boyle, Reece Shearsmith, Sarah Millican, Martin Freeman, Reginald D. Hunter, Liza Tarbuck, Germaine Greer, Ben Miller, David Mitchell, Holly Walsh, Phill Jupitus, Jack Whitehall, David Baddiel, Kevin Bridges and many more. This in not only a funny quiz show with a great host and well loved comedians, but as the opening normally says, it is a show that watches TV so you don't have to, and it certainly makes you realise what you could be missing out on, a great show. Very good!

Chief_Watches-Many As a massive fan of Charlie's Screenwipe & Newswipe, at first I wasn't too keen and was fearing the worst for this, but it has grown on me. Immediately hearing jokes just to make the studio audience laugh had me shaking my head and feared a very poor attempt at a mainstream Screenwipe, but by episode 3 or 4 I was warming to it and mainly became interested and was enjoying it for much of what I like about Screenwipe, which is the fact that I don't watch television in the traditional sense. I generally find out about & watch TV shows online, as the way TV has gone there is very little for me nowadays and the set is only switched on for football and specific shows airing new episodes. So this serves a similar purpose to Screenwipe for me in that I get to see what I'm missing, but with Charlie's distinct take on things. This alone makes it an enjoyable watch for someone like me. In addition, I was pleased to see certain guests such as Frankie Boyle & Frank Skinner (and the always delightful Victoria Coren) and whilst it may not be the best thing ever or even on a par with Screenwipe, I still found it worthy of watching every episode. Any complaints I may have are minor and borne out of the fact that it's just Screenwipe for the masses, but that doesn't instantly make it awful. I've judged this on it's own merit and 6* may not be a great rating (it's just my crazy scale) but I did like the show and hope for more.

invisibleskidmark this is a review show from Charlie Brooker which parodies other quiz shows. i hadn't heard much of Charlie brooker before i saw this, i had only seen dead set and i didn't think too highly of it. but this is quality despite the naysayers, there isn't canned laughter it's genuine giggles and hysteria, i haven't seen screen wipe so i don't know whether the guy who commented before me had a valid comparison but I'm not willing to trample this ingenious creation. it's funny the way that he takes a show that's doing relatively well and then tramples it into nothing, i definitely want to see more of this show. bravo Mr brooker.watch this if you love funny stuff

Nbrain How has Brooker sunk so low? In the back of his mind he must know that if he reviewed it on Screenwipe he'd say it was utter dross. The vts are screenwipey but some of the weak jokes that feel like he's been told to say and the audience 'reactions' ruin it. Seems like channel 4 knows well that the retarded audiences of such quizcoms have to be told when to laugh- the idiots feel more comfortable finding something humorous if a collection of their peers are heard to be laughing too- 'so it OK'. Don't get me started on the comedyless 'panelists', their sometimes clearly (badly) scripted scripted rants or 'hilarious outbursts' and the preening reaction shots which always follow.apparently the 1st episode may have been OK but clearly that was the powerful entry episode with the biggest stars they could muster and the most amusing TV shows but it seems the rest are pitiful and the panel is perpetually made up of only the dull Frankie Boyle and some gruff voiced, dull woman alongside an obscure z-lister.Also they seem to have tried to give Charlie a 'catchphrase' of 'go away' to ed each episode. He may have said it once or twice in his bbc4 shows but certainly not every show and certainly not to be echoed by canned/studio laughter.
