Aaahhh! Triffids! I used to live near an allotment when i was a kid and there used to be tons of high plants that scared the shit out of me

It's interesting he showed Quatermass 4 which arguable was the weakest of them all. It was be nice to see the BBC (not Hammer) versions of Quatermass 2 or Quatermass and the Pit being shown.

X is back, he got hacked apparently.

Unfortunately, x did not have these screenwipes backed up on his computer,but they're availible from another account; zthemusic, which is not x. He has all of the charlie brooker episodes throughout all of the series.

Last year Charlie Brooker suggested a campaign to beat the X Factor to Xmas #1 by releasing a 15 second track of children saying 'Simon Cowell: Shit for ears' a few times with all proceeds going to charity. The campaign to make this happen in 2011 has begun... check it out on Facebook by searching for "Simon Cowell, shit for ears" - 2011 XMAS campaign.
