So while I really enjoyed 2011 Wipe, I fail to understand what Charlie Brooker sees in Doug Stanhope. He’s not funny, he’s not insightful, and he makes the poetry of Tim Key (who I love as an actor) look Peter Cook calibre. Miserablist humor only works when the performer has a tinkle in his/her eye. Anyone can be grumpy and cynical: Brooker gets that, and so does David Mitchell....

Obama signed the National Defense Authorization... →

In hundreds of separate sections...

I hate to say it, but Big Fat Quiz ‘11 really isn’t that good. I only ever laughed at David Mitchell and Eddie Izzard, and even they weren’t aren’t at the top of their games. Jamie Oliver is terrible, and while Miranda Hart is amusing, Walliams drags her down. I haven’t seen all of them, but this might be my least favorite. Even the 2008 episode had Sean Lock, who was...
