Charlton "Charlie" Brooker (born 3 March 1971) is an English satirist and broadcaster. He has worked in television, radio, print and online media.
In addition to writing for programmes such as Brass Eye, The 11 O'Clock Show and Nathan Barley, Brooker has presented a number of television shows, including Screenwipe, Gameswipe, Newswipe, Weekly Wipe, and 10 O'Clock Live. He also wrote a five-part horror drama Dead Set, which was nominated for the 2009 Best Drama Serial BAFTA, and is creator and co-writer of the drama series Black Mirror. He has written comment pieces for The Guardian and is one of four creative directors of the production company Zeppotron.
Brooker's style of humour is acerbic, savage, profane, and often controversial with surreal elements and a consistent satirical pessimism. He won the 2009 Columnist of the Year award at the British Press Awards, the 2010 Best Entertainment Programme Award for Newswipe from the Royal Television Society, and has received three British Comedy Awards: Best Newcomer in 2009, Best Comedy Entertainment Show Award for Newswipe in 2011, and Best Comedy Entertainment Personality in 2012.

Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe is a British television review programme created and presented by Charlie Brooker. It is the most recent addition to Brooker's Wipe series, and the first to be broadcast in HD. The programme is an amalgam of the earlier Wipe series, with reviews of current television programmes, news events, games, and films.
The programme was commissioned by the BBC in November 2012, with six episodes ordered. It began airing on 31 January 2013, and was broadcast on BBC Two. Two more series followed in 2014 and 2015. A special edition of the show entitled Election Wipe was broadcast on 6 May 2015, the day before the UK general election.
Weekly Wipe follows a similar format to Brooker's earlier works. It features Brooker commenting on a range of recent programmes, events, games, and films. Brooker presents the programme from both his living room and a presenters' desk, similar to Newswipe. Brooker also narrates news footage, and other VTs, commenting humorously on their content. Whilst covering the most prominent events of the week, Weekly Wipe also satirises more commonplace or minor occurrences.
The writer and broadcaster takes a satirical look back at the events of the past 12 months, a year that has seen the deaths of countless cultural icons, Donald Trump being voted into the White House and the BBC losing the rights to Great British Bake Off. Charlie is joined by the ever-insightful Philomena Cunk, who faces her most challenging interview yet as she tries to get some sense out of Professor Brian Cox.

Charlie Brooker, Annabel Jones ('Black Mirror' executive producers) explain unique Emmy strategy and tease season 4 with Gold Derby's Riley Chow. Having previously aired on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom, “Black Mirror” received the International Emmy for Best Movie or Miniseries for its first season. Netflix later won the exclusive rights to the third season, so the show is now competing at the Primetime Emmys opposite American programming for the first time. Netflix has entered only one of its episodes in the program field: the “San Junipero” episode starring Gugu Mbatha-Raw is competing for Best TV Movie instead of the complete third season competing for Best Limited Series like other anthologies.

How much do I love you?
Ill tell you no lie
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?
How many times a day do I think of you?
How many roses are sprinkled with dew?
How far would I travel
To be where you are?
How far is the journey
>from here to a star?
And if I ever lost you, how much would I cry?
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?
