    Anyone checked this guy out? He did a brilliant episode recently on 24 hour news channels like sky and BBC 24, very telling insights into the frenzy that surrounds breaking news
    They've been showing reruns from BBC4 on BBC 2, some quality stuff. Really hits the nail on the head with regards to English TV and what goes into making it, I just wish we had the intellectual equivalent over here...

    I love this show. He did another one recently about reality shows that included him starting his own. Brilliant.

    yeah, it was on last night, I only caught the last few mins of it. It must have been the one you mention. I'm going to keep an eye out for his shows in future. Very good.

    Seen a few episodes of this and he is one funny guy, loved the one on the 24 hour news, he really showed how they sensationalise every part of the news these days.

    I've only seen it once or twice, it's very good... Pity it's on BBC4, so i never think of watching it...
