Probably the most insightful and well written one-off TV show about games ever is whats happening. Done by someone who genuinely cares about video games.

Actually really looking forward to this, I think he is funny and has quite an extensive knowledge on games, albeit flawed when he is pushed on the spot like his interview with Snow.

But I think that was probably Snow's aim lol.

It's one of the few threads that actually makes sense to me on GAF.

Brooker's writing? Hmm, he's been off his game a little recently, but I'm still very excited for it...

It seems like the perfect thing for a Twitch stream. If I had the tools I'd do it, but hopefully someone else will. Try and look into how to watch UK streams if you really want it, I hear it's simple. Otherwise it'll hit the torrent sites and Youtube in no time.

Incidentally my PS4 box is in my hands (wrapped in John Lewis bag), on the way home now. Tonight's gonna be a good night.

Easy: there's literally no-one in power at the Beeb who will argue for games as art, and everyone knowledgeable and influential enough to make the argument will just get their shows made elsewhere anyway (Brooker), or satisfy themselves with some other project (Wossy).

There's also the very real reality than unlike films, music or the other traditional arts, it's been proven again and again that a weekly televised magazine format about video games just doesn't work, and people don't want it; they'll just stick to YouTube shows and the like.

Basically no-one on either side gives a shit.

I don't recall them having a coin collecting game. Pretty sure they used to end the show with a face off on whatever game they were featuring that week.

That's because 2 of the hosts were fine as hell and it was adult oriented. I miss that show.

Agreed that was bloody awful haha, the intro was the coolest bit about it, true 90's nostalgia right there, but the actual show and the content was just terrible.

Well, I think they complement each other very well :D

Plus, as far as video game programming goes, this kind of stuff is leagues ahead of anything on American television.
