· ‘Charlie Brooker’s 2010 Wipe’ moves to BBC TWO
· 1 x 60 minute special to broadcast on 27 December at 10.00pm
Zeppotron, a UK leader in entertainment and comedy programming, today announced that it has been commissioned by BBC Two to produce Charlie Brooker’s 2010 Wipe.
Previously broadcast on BBC Four, ‘Wipe’ returns for its annual Christmas shindig and will air for the first time on BBC Two.
Written and presented by Charlie Brooker, the programme looks back at the best and worst things that have happened in the world of news, television, games, and film over the past twelve months.
From the Chilean minders saga, the historic elections to the Pope’s controversial visit, Charlie will take an impertinent look at this year’s top news stories and how they were reported in the media.
Comedian Doug Stanhope gives his take on year’s BP disaster, Investigative Journalist Nick Davies examines the Andy Coulson affair, and Journalist Grace Dent takes a lathery look back at soapland’s key storylines of 2010.
Plus there will be a splattering of topical poetry courtesy of Edinburgh Comedy Award winner Tim Key.
Charlie Brooker comments,“For those who don't have the patience to relive the entire year in real-time, 2010 Wipe will condense the whole of 2010 into one compact, easily-digestible package. Think of it as a souvenir, if that helps. We'll be looking back at the year before it's even finished, and pointing and laughing at various bits of it, like the repugnant animals we are.”
Charlie Brooker’s 2010 Wipe will be Executive Produced by Zeppotron’s Managing Director Annabel Jones. The Series Producer is Nick Vaughan-Smith.
