But Morris has become a distant memory and someone needs to be putting their neck out and shouting about this stuff. Think it's a bit easy to say "Yeah, but that's been done" while we watch news output collapse all around us. Fair points.

I didn't hate the poetry, but it was consistently my least favourite part of the last series of Screenwipe. Still, as long as Charlie doesn't fall into the trap of going for easy targets and delivers more sequences like the one on quantatatative easing, it's going to be a good series.

I agree, it does seem a bit redundant to have a show ripping the piss out of and deconstructing news programmes for six weeks. It would have made a good one-off for Screenwipe, though; it would have been without the guest reporter or the poet, too. <a href="http://www.the-medium-is-not-enough.com/2009/03/review_newswipe_1x1.php" rel="nofollow">Full review over here</a>. PS And yes: Marcus Brigstocke - why? Well put. I agree, it does seem a bit redundant to have a show ripping the piss out of and deconstructing news programmes for six weeks.
