Synopsis
Notoriously foul-mouthed television critic Charlie Brooker invites three of his friends round to sit in oversized chairs, watch television, and they all take the mick out of it. For instance, Deal or No Deal is derided as "a guessing game", Golden Balls ridiculed as ludicrously complicated, and Total Wipeout summarised as "he fell in the water". Like Tarrant on TV and Loves Like a Dog, a chunk of the show is taken up laughing at ludicrous foreign shows.
Each discussion ends with one or more questions to the panel, for which points are awarded. In the final quick-fire round, there are buzzers and a suitable (ie disconcertingly jaunty) game show noise. At the end, a winner is determined, and we reckon that's enough to make it a game show.
