Charlie Brooker Interview (part 2 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.

Were there censored spots?

@notsotupelohoney

Do you mean during this interview? I don't think so. I downloaded it from the Guardian website and reuplaoded it in four parts, but I didn't remove anything. If the Guardian editorial staff removed something, I didn't notice.

What made you think anything was censored?

@geffel

I thought I heard two spots in this segment when the audio was blocked out. It was the second time that really caught my attention and made me realize that I ought to have paid closer attention.

I'll listen to it again in the next couple of days to see whether it was a temporary glitch or a real block.

Thanks for responding and thanks for posting. Charlie Brooker is a breath of fresh air.

There might have been the odd cnt or two that was redacted - this IS the Guardian after all...

I thought supporting the death penalty got one excommunicated from the Catholic Church?

@MentalSentinel 33 out of 12,400. Clearly a majority.

[MentalSentinel]

@UltimaJay5 I've got 33 upvotes is what I've got.

[UltimaJay5]

@MentalSentinel Mate, you've got a problem.

[Andrew1990M]

@geffel Yeah she was.

These days he hosts "10 O'Clock Live" which is satirical news coverage.

[batmanofni]

@geffel yeah that's her.
