Gameswipe airing next week

MCV Staff 21st September 2009 Business News

The long-awaited Gameswipe from Charlie Brooker will be aired on UK TV on September 29th, it has been confirmed.

Those looking to see what acclaimed journalist Brooker has come up with will need to tune into BBC4 at 10:00pm, Tuesday 29th September.

The show will be repeated on BBC4 on the following three nights, too, at 1:50am (Wednesday night), 11:20pm (Thursday) and 3:00pm (Friday).

Gameswipe will follow the format set down by predecessors Screenwipe and Newswipe, and is likely to be an anger-fuelled tongue-in-cheek look at the modern market.

Brooker has previously claimed that Gameswipe will be a one-off, with the BBC not having commissioned a series at this time.
