HE'S SOLD OUT TO THE MAN

I reached my misanthropic peak during series six of Big Brother, during which the contestant Maxwell was labelled "a goon, a berk, a gurgling bore, a ham-eyed poltroon and a great big swaggering chump", not to mention, "a Norf Lahnden bozo best described as the human equivalent of a clipping from Nuts magazine bobbing in a fetid urinal". His girlfriend Saskia had "a face that could advertise war", while eventual winner Anthony was "a man so profoundly thick you could sell him a pair of his own socks for £500, even if he was already wearing them."

I can't really complain. As much of a Charlie Brooker fan as I am, I very rarely read his column.

I hope he enjoys whatever he ends up getting paid to take the piss out of next.

I hope it's more Screenwipe style stuff and less panel show style stuff.

"For those asking: yes, there's a Screenwipe / Newswipe thingy coming up. And I'll still be writing for both Sat and Mon Guardian."

SURE.
