J.D. Richardson.

Thank goodness for multiple categories, eh?  After a fairly long wait, Charlie Brooker’s Gameswipe airs tonight, tragically relegated to BBC4 at 10pm BST.  Charlie Brooker is a very funny man who used to be a games journalist and now is all famous and on the telly.  You’ll have probably seen him before.  Some people think he looks a bit like J.D.  I couldn’t possibly comment.  Because he’s coming round tomorrow to record a podcast and I imagine he’ll beat me up.

It’s a one-off this time, disappointingly, though I guess the -Wipe series has always relied on the continuity of things like the news for it to actually work.  A weekly Gameswipe would just be… well, it’d be Zero Punctuation, stretched out to an hour.  Or that’s how I imagine it, anyway.

Typically I’m actually going out tonight, but thankfully – for us UK TV License-paying lot – it’s going to be on iPlayer.  Which means I can watch it in a drunken stupor when I get home, then forget whether it was any good or not.  Exquisite!  The rest of you should totally watch it.
