Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe - end credit squeeze

New BBC guidelines have shrunk the end credits to a matchbox and put trailers for their other crap shows on the end too. Charlie Brooker doesn't like it... "Crushed by the clunking dead fist of marketing" indeed.

It gets me a lot on the Dave channel when I want to see who did the music. Likewise BBC-3 recently shrunk the end credits of 'Son Of Rambow' to indecipherability, but someone did confirm me that Neil Dudgeon did portray Jessica Hynes's fancy man in the film.

I always enjoyed singing along to the end credits of Fools and Horses.

Got some Trevor Francis track suits, from a mush in Shepard's Bush BUSH BUSH BUSH BUSH BUSH BUSH

@MrTeatime shut up

[asulei]

sick on a widow sounds like the greatest and most alarming show there ever could be.

You British viewers are lucky compared to here in U.S. We usually don't even get to see even 1 second of a programs closing credits before they squeeze and mute them to advertise shows that they already advertised during the commercial's over and over. Its awful! When I even get to hear 2 notes of a programs end theme. I always Imagine that some poor person working at the network is about to lose their job. Head of network: "I just heard and saw 3 whole seconds of the credits, you are fired!"

@JPearson1987 same here, but the credit squeezing makes me switch off :P

[JPearson1987]

Adverts make me change channel more than the credits.

@PushingPies We need Charlie Brooker to run for Prime Minister. :)

Didn't expect to see the St. James' Church corner on the show! It sure is a fine specimen of the corner, a pity its elegance and beauty were neigh ignored for further iterations of that magical 90 degree angle, so often taken for granted yet with cultural and social significance on an immeasurable scale.
