Charlie Brooker Guardian Interview (part 1 of 4)

From a Guardian interview. 10 Nov 2009: The full interview between Marina Hyde and fellow Guardian columnist Charlie Brooker, in which Charlie talks about his new book, The Hell of it All and explains why he often finds writing so hard it makes him blub

Charlie Brooker discusses all things media with his customary self deprecating manner.

Charlie has a new book out, entitled "The Hell of it All". I recommend it highly.

I don't understand the negative feedback towards the interviewer. She asked questions which made him talk at length and didn't try and be funnier than him, probably knowing she never could be.

@gypsyroses198

I was blown away with his description of experiencing tonsillitis. I'll never deride tonsillitis sufferers again ...

@jobe129 wait until you read her column...

[davedjdgs]

@98smithg Fair enough

[BadgerBoi]

@jobe129 There's something really unsettling about her, she looks as though someone has just wiped a piece of used toilet paper under her nose. She should stick to writing and keep away from a lens.

[98smithg]

@davedjdgs I have read his column in the Gaurdian before it was not like he was completly unknown to me.

[davedjdgs]

@davedjdgs I've missed a few words out there. Sorry had a couple of beers or wouldn't be making random comments on youtube but you know what i mean

[davedjdgs]

@98smithg Why did you stop it so early and buy the book? Personally I can't get my head around the idea of anyone not liking Charlie Brooker but thats up to you. Surely you'd watch a bit more information not just this is a book that exists I'll order it

@jobe129 don't diss marina hyde, she's a fantastic writer!
