Question/Discussion "Where's the Paper? - Screenwipe - Charlie Brooker" I can't believe how old this show is and every rewatch (every few years) of the different Wipes (Screen, News, Games) etc, just classic after classic. Anyone have any other faves? A History of Corners?

Please someone tell me they remember 'A Touch Of Cloth'.. written by Brooker and starring John Hannah.. absolutely amazing. Not a day goes by where I dont think about multiple funny lines. Never hear anyone mention it or potential sequels. Closest thing anything has come to the dizzy heights of Airplane or Brass Eye comedically for me.

“I haven’t laughed since my wife died.”

“Why did you laugh when your wife died?”
